Mission Back Yard Wedding| Tyler and Alyssa

Alyssa and Tyler’s wedding day was the perfect reflection of who they are—laid-back, meaningful, and full of joy—set against the backdrop of their own stunning private property in Mission, BC. Hosting their wedding at home made the day feel deeply personal, and with clear blue skies and warm sunshine, everything came together beautifully.

The morning began with Alyssa getting ready inside her home, surrounded by familiar comforts and loved ones, while Tyler and the guys got ready just down the street at a friend’s house. The calm, unrushed start set the tone for the day ahead. Their ceremony took place outdoors on the property and was nothing short of perfect. Alyssa and Tyler shared vows that were heartfelt, romantic, and genuinely funny—completely true to who they are as a couple. One especially meaningful moment was when both Alyssa’s mom and Tyler’s mom came forward to give a special blessing over the rings, a beautiful symbol of family and unity. As if on cue, midway through the ceremony, the couple’s pet pigeons were spotted flying overhead, creating a magical and unforgettable moment that felt almost meant to be.

After the ceremony, the wedding party hopped into vehicles and headed up a quiet back road to a scenic clearing overlooking the valley. The views were absolutely breathtaking and made for stunning portraits filled with laughter and celebration. When everyone returned to the property, the wedding party made their entrance and dinner was served by Cookie Grill—always a crowd favorite. Their broccoli salad was a standout (and a personal favorite), and guests enjoyed every bite.

The speeches that followed were full of laughter, stories, and heartfelt moments. Alyssa and Tyler then shared their first dance, followed by a sweet father-daughter dance between Alyssa and her dad, and a special dance between Tyler and his mom. Once the dance floor officially opened, the energy skyrocketed when Tyler’s brother’s band took the stage, performing an incredible set that kept everyone dancing.

Just before the night wrapped up, there was an impromptu sparkler exit right on the dance floor—a spontaneous, joy-filled moment that perfectly captured the spirit of the day. And while it may have looked like an ending, it was really just the beginning of a long night of celebration. Alyssa and Tyler’s country backyard wedding was full of heart, personality, and unforgettable moments—proof that the most meaningful weddings often happen right at home.
