Marlee & Benjamin - A Prince George Wedding
Marlee and Benjamin's Prince George wedding unfolded under a white tent on the lawn, photographed by Folklore founder Sydney Woodward from morning coffee to evening speeches.
A Prince George wedding pulled us happily north this summer: Marlee and Benjamin married under a white tent on the grass, with the people they love most gathered close. Folklore founder Sydney Woodward photographed the day from the quiet morning through to the last of the evening light.
What made this Prince George wedding feel like home?
Some weddings borrow a grand room; this one grew a celebration straight out of a lawn. A white marquee went up on the grass with greenery and cafe lights strung along its frame, and a gilt mirror at the entrance carried the seating chart under three painted words: Our Favourite People. That mirror set the tone for the whole day. Guests moved between the tent and the garden with drinks in hand, the water glinting past the trees, and nobody was in a hurry to be anywhere else. It is the kind of setting we love most, familiar ground dressed up for one remarkable afternoon.
Speeches and slow light at a northern BC wedding
As the afternoon settled into evening, the tent filled for dinner and the microphone started making its rounds. Benjamin stood up in his deep green suit beside the seating-chart mirror and spoke to a tent full of laughing guests, and the speeches carried on as the light went long and gold across the lawn. These are the hours we work hardest to catch, the ones nobody poses for. You can see how we approach them across all of our wedding photography.
A green suit, dried florals, and a slow morning
The gallery opens gently: coffee at a wooden table, a small ring box, two people laughing before the day gathered speed. Benjamin wore deep green with a patterned tie and a boutonniere of white roses and dried grasses, and the same natural, unfussy palette ran through the flowers, the greenery over the tent, and the garden itself. Folklore is a small collective of photographers, filmmakers, and planners, and you can read more about how we work as one team.
Do you travel beyond the Gulf Islands for weddings?
We do, and days like this one are exactly why. Folklore is rooted on Salt Spring Island, but we photograph weddings across British Columbia, and the drive north is part of the pleasure. Prince George sits where the Nechako meets the Fraser, and Tourism Prince George is a good place to start if your guests are travelling in. When you are ready to talk about a wedding of your own, wherever it lands on the map, get in touch.
