A Beautiful Backyard Wedding in Elora | Elissa & Tyler

Elissa and Tyler’s wedding was a perfect blend of elegance, natural beauty, and relaxed backyard charm, a true reflection of their style and love story. Set against the stunning backdrop of Elora, Ontario, their day was full of personal touches, gorgeous scenery, and moments of genuine joy.

The morning began at the iconic Elora Mill, where Elissa and her bridal party got ready in one of the charming suites. The historic brick walls, soft light, and modern details made for the perfect setting to capture all those meaningful pre-wedding moments, from slipping into her beautiful gown to toasting with her bridesmaids.

Meanwhile, Tyler and the guys prepared for the day with a fun, laid-back vibe. Their son stole the show with his cool moves and big smile, an adorable highlight of the morning!

For their wedding photos, we explored some of Elora’s most scenic spots. Victoria Park provided a lush, forested setting, while the dramatic cliffs and riverbed of the Elora Gorge offered a breathtaking contrast. The love between Elissa and Tyler was so natural in front of the camera, sweet, playful, and full of connection. These locations really gave us a chance to document the beauty of both the couple and this incredible area.

The ceremony and reception took place in Elissa and Tyler’s own backyard, a space transformed into an inviting and romantic setting for their celebration. Surrounded by towering trees and twinkling string lights, they exchanged vows under a beautifully draped arbor with their closest family and friends looking on.

After the ceremony, the relaxed backyard vibe continued into the evening with heartfelt speeches, delicious food, and lots of laughter. The dance floor was packed as the sun went down and the tent filled with music and joy.

From start to finish, this day was full of meaning and personal touches. The fact that they chose to host their wedding on their own property made the entire event feel even more special and intimate. It was such an honour to document Elissa and Tyler’s day,a true celebration of love, family, and home.

If you’re planning a backyard wedding in Elora or considering the beauty of Elora Gorge and Victoria Park for your wedding photos, take inspiration from Elissa and Tyler’s incredible day. It’s proof that with a little creativity and a lot of heart, you can turn any space, even your own backyard, into the perfect wedding venue.
