Can you have a real wedding in your backyard?

Yes. Laurel and Jesse's whole celebration unfolded at home: vows in the garden, long hugs on the lawn, and portraits that started at the front door. A backyard wedding is every bit as real, and often more personal.

Who photographed Laurel and Jesse's intimate backyard wedding?

Kimberley Kufaas, one of the photographers in the Folklore collective, documented the day, including the forest and river portraits after the ceremony.

What do you need to get married at home in BC?

A British Columbia marriage licence and someone licensed to perform the ceremony. The province outlines the paperwork online, and we are glad to help couples plan the rest of an at-home day.
