Backyard Wedding FAQs
What counts as a backyard wedding?
Any wedding held at a private home, garden, or family property rather than a traditional venue — a lawn ceremony, a tented reception, or both. We cover it exactly like any full wedding day.
Do you cover both the ceremony and the reception?
Yes — getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, and the celebration, all in one day of coverage sized to your plans.
Can you shoot in a tent or after dark?
Yes — we bring our own lighting for tented dinners and evening receptions, so low light is never a problem.
Is a backyard harder to photograph than a venue?
Not for us — we read the light and the space on the day and work around whatever your yard offers, so it feels effortless.
Can you film it too?
Yes — photo + video as one team, like the at-home wedding film above.
How fast do we get our photos?
Fast turnaround — your retouched gallery is delivered within days.
