Backyard wedding north of Toronto · June 6, 2026
A field ceremony under the pines with about fifty family and friends, then a barbecue, bubbles, a lot of happy kids and one orange tractor.
Jennifer and Arik were married on June 6, 2026, in a backyard in York Region, just north of Toronto. About fifty family and friends gathered in a field ringed by pine trees for the ceremony, followed by a relaxed backyard barbecue.
The setting did most of the work. White chairs lined a grass aisle up to a greenery arch, the fence was strung with family photo strips, and the kids had the run of the place. We spent the first part of the afternoon catching the details and the guests as they arrived, including a little white dog who was very popular.
The ceremony was relaxed and full of laughter, with flower girls in pink tulle, a ring bearer who took his job seriously, a first kiss under the arch and cheers all the way back up the aisle. After a big group photo in the field, Jennifer and Arik slipped away to the rows of pine trees on the property for portraits, plus a few on the orange tractor.
Then it was back to the party: barbecue, bubbles, blue tongues and kids climbing all over the tractor. A backyard wedding like this is one of our favourite kinds of day. If you are planning a small wedding at home in Toronto, York Region or the GTA, we would love to hear about it.
