Folklore Creative Company
Photography, film, and hand-poured tintypes, plus the websites and software that carry a creative practice. Made slowly along the coast and forest of Salt Spring Island.
What we do
We make heirloom images. Our Salt Spring Island photography carries the patience of a craft studio: long light, real texture, and the quiet of a morning that isn't rushed. We photograph weddings and portraits the way you'd want to remember them a lifetime later, not just the week after.
The work lives somewhere between film grain and silver. It is analog in spirit and made by hand, whether we are loading a roll, pouring a plate, or sitting with the last of the evening light. If that sounds like your kind of thing, our photography work is a good place to start.
The studio
Wedding and portrait work shot with a slow, attentive eye. See the full range of our photography on Salt Spring Island and beyond.
Quiet, grounded films that hold the feeling of a day rather than perform it. Learn more about our island videography.
Hand-poured wet-plate tintypes made one at a time in silver. Our tintype photography gives you a real object to keep, not a file.
Beyond the camera, we build software that carries the business side of a creative practice, so you can get back to making. See the tools we're building.
Custom websites for creatives and small businesses, built on the Folklore Ecosystem Foundation, a platform we made ourselves, modular, handmade, and photographed by us.

Get in touch
Tell us about your wedding, your portrait, or the plate you'd like poured. We reply to every note, and we like a bit of detail: where, when, and what you're hoping to keep.
Where we work
Salt Spring Island gives us everything an image needs: sea light, cedar shade, weathered wood, and mornings that ask you to slow down. We know its coves and back roads, and we work with the weather rather than against it.
The studio is where the handmade part happens. Plates are poured, developed, and fixed while you wait, and the finished piece is something you can hold. You can read more about how we work in the studio, or follow the thinking behind it in the journal.
