The Backyard Weds

Last reviewed: September 29, 2026. Business status: Active.

The Backyard Weds is a husband-and-wife wedding videography company serving Halifax, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, with the website also mentioning Newfoundland and locations beyond those areas. For couples comparing Halifax wedding videographers, the company presents an intimate, story-led approach to wedding films and elopement films.

The official website identifies Michael and Brianne as the people behind the business. Their stated focus is to understand each couple and create a film that reflects genuine personalities, relationships and moments rather than only recording the formal parts of the day. This profile was last reviewed on September 29, 2026, using the company's official website pages supplied for this listing.

Services and specialization

The Backyard Weds provides wedding videography and elopement filmmaking. Its website describes the business as creating wedding films with an emphasis on personal storytelling, including emotional reactions, laughter, vows, relationships and small details that may otherwise pass quickly on the wedding day.

The company presents its work as more than a conventional record of an event. Its stated approach is to learn about each couple so the finished film feels connected to who they are. Couples can use the official website to explore featured films and assess whether the visual style and storytelling approach suit their plans.

• Wedding films
• Elopement films
• Personal, story-focused wedding filmmaking
• Pre-wedding connection and conversations as part of the stated approach

Service area and who it may suit

The official website lists Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in its footer and service descriptions. The home page also refers to Halifax and Newfoundland, and says the company works across the region and beyond. No specific studio, office or postal address is published in the supplied official evidence, so couples should confirm the team's travel arrangements for their venue.

The company's about page says it works with couples who may be wild, quiet, bold, romantic, humorous or unconventional, and who value an honest representation of their relationship. That description is an operator statement rather than an independent assessment, but it gives prospective clients useful context about the couples the company says it wants to work with.

• Named service regions include Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick
• Halifax and Newfoundland are also referenced on the official website
• Travel coverage for a particular venue should be confirmed directly
• The stated approach may be relevant to couples seeking personal and less formal storytelling

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of The Backyard Weds is its stated preparation process. The about page says the filmmakers want to spend time getting to know couples before the wedding, with examples such as a conversation, walk, art date or other relaxed activity. The purpose described on the page is to help the final film reflect the couple's personality.

The website also states that the company takes on a limited number of weddings each year because its filmmaking process requires time. This is an operator-provided statement and should not be treated as a guarantee of availability. The supplied evidence does not establish a current number of open dates, turnaround time, package inclusions, deliverables beyond the site's general references to wedding films, or whether every location carries the same terms.

• The company documents a relationship-led pre-wedding approach
• The website describes films as personal and emotionally focused
• Current availability is not established by the supplied evidence
• Travel, production details and deliverables should be confirmed for the specific booking

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published on the supplied official pages. Prices are not published. Couples should request a current quotation based on the wedding or elopement date, venue, location, coverage requirements and selected deliverables.

The website's about page describes wedding videography as a significant investment, but it does not provide a verified price range, package list, deposit amount, payment schedule or cancellation terms. Those details should be obtained in writing before booking.

• Prices are not published
• Request current package and quotation details directly
• Confirm what coverage and finished films are included
• Ask about deposits, payment timing, travel charges and cancellation terms

Contact and booking

The official contact page invites couples to get in touch to check availability. The business phone number shown on the official website is 506-889-4320. The supplied evidence does not include a published postal address or a direct email address, so the website contact form is the appropriate online starting point.

When contacting The Backyard Weds, include the date, venue, city or region, type of celebration and any known coverage needs. Sharing whether the event is a wedding or elopement can help the company respond with information relevant to the requested service.

• Phone: 506-889-4320
• Use the official contact page to enquire and check availability
• Include the date, venue, location and celebration type
• Ask for current pricing and package information before making a decision

What couples should confirm

The official website provides a clear description of the company's filmmaking perspective, but several booking details are not included in the supplied evidence. Couples should request a written proposal that explains exactly what is included and how the process works from enquiry through delivery.

Because the company serves multiple provinces and refers to travel beyond its named regions, confirm whether the requested venue is within its current service area and whether travel costs or overnight requirements apply. Also ask how the filmmakers coordinate with the photographer and other vendors during the day, since the practical working arrangements can vary by venue and timeline.

• Is the requested date available?
• What coverage length and number of filmmakers are included?
• Which finished films, edits or files will be delivered, and in what format?
• What is the expected delivery timeline?
• Are travel, accommodation or other location fees separate?
• What are the deposit, contract, payment and cancellation terms?

Reviewing the fit

The Backyard Weds may be worth considering for couples who want wedding or elopement filmmaking framed around personal stories and candid emotional moments. The official website gives prospective clients an opportunity to review featured films and learn about the filmmakers' stated process before enquiring.

The main information gap is commercial rather than service-related: the supplied official pages do not publish pricing, package comparisons or full booking terms. Couples should therefore use the initial enquiry to confirm scope, travel, deliverables, timing and total cost, then compare the written response with their priorities and budget.

• Review the company's featured films before contacting it
• Compare the documented approach with the kind of record you want
• Request written details for all unlisted commercial and production terms
• Confirm the final arrangement directly with the business
