How to Plan the Perfect LGBTQ+ Wedding Photography Experience

There are no rules when it comes to planning an LGBTQ+ wedding—so do what feels right for you! Want to walk down the aisle together? Go for it. Want to ditch traditional wedding attire and rock bold, expressive outfits? Absolutely. Your wedding should be a reflection of your love, your identity, and your journey.

3. Plan for Candid, Joyful, & Intimate Moments
Some of the most beautiful wedding images come from unplanned, candid moments—the laughter, the teary-eyed vows, the spontaneous dances. We focus on documenting the real, raw emotions that make your day unforgettable.
4. Schedule Golden Hour Photos
The soft, golden light before sunset creates magical and romantic wedding portraits. We always encourage scheduling 15-20 minutes during golden hour to capture those dreamy, glowing images.
