Welcome to Art G Photography — Your Trusted LGBTQIA+ Photographer in Akron & Northeast Ohio


Because Your Love Deserves to Be Celebrated Authentically — By Someone Who Truly Gets It



Planning a wedding or portrait session should be an exciting, joyful experience — especially when it’s about celebrating who you are and the love you share. As a gay photographer based in Akron, Ohio, I understand the power of authentic storytelling and the importance of working with someone who truly honors your identity, your journey, and your vision.

Why Choose an LGBTQIA+ Friendly Photographer Who’s Part of the Community?




Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I bring empathy, understanding, and an insider perspective to every session. Your love story is unique, and I’m here to capture it without clichés, awkward poses, or forced smiles.


Safe & Welcoming Space: From the first inquiry to the final gallery delivery, I ensure every couple and client feels seen, respected, and celebrated.


Authentic Moments Over Posed Shots: I focus on capturing candid emotions — laughter, tears, stolen glances — the stuff that tells your real story.


Inclusive Experience: Whether your wedding is a large celebration, an intimate elopement, or something in-between, I customize the experience around your needs and personality.

What Couples Say About Art GPhotography

"Art made our entire experience—from the engagement shoot to the big day—feel easy and stress-free. He’s quick with a joke, makes you feel relaxed, and never once did we feel posed or awkward. We got married in downtown Pittsburgh and he found the most magical corners of the city to shoot in. The photos are moody, rich, and honestly better than we ever imagined."

Riley + Sam, Akron, OH

Clients Say

“We ugly-cried and ugly-laughed and Art caught every moment like a magician. Couldn’t recommend him more.”

Jaime + Drew, Cleveland, OH

Clients Say

"We cannot say enough amazing things about Art. From the moment we reached out, he made us feel completely comfortable and excited for our wedding day. As a gay couple, it was so important to find someone who genuinely celebrated our love story. Art captured the laughter, the quiet moments, and every glance in between. Our photos are not just beautiful—they feel like us. If you’re in Ohio (or beyond!) and want someone who gets it, book him."

Elijah + Marcus Cbus,OH

What Couples Say About Art GPhotography

"Finding a queer-friendly photographer was a top priority for us. When we found out Art was also part of the LGBTQ+ community, we knew he would understand us in a way others wouldn’t. From the first phone call, he made us feel like old friends. On the wedding day, he blended in like a guest—capturing real moments, not just posed portraits. Every photo radiates joy and authenticity."

Julian + Alex, Akron, OH

What Couples Say About Art GPhotography

"Art planned with us like a pro—timeline help, backup locations, and even weather plans. We had a destination-style elopement in Ann Arbor, and he drove out with zero hesitation. He scouted hidden photo spots ahead of time and made us feel like we were in a movie. He kept us laughing the entire time and somehow never missed a single moment."
