Now, let's talk specifically about LGBTQ+ wedding photography. You might be wondering if there's anything different about photographing a same-sex wedding versus a traditional wedding. Well, the answer is yes and no.

Yes, some things are unique when photographing an LGBTQ+ wedding. For example, you might have a mixed gender wedding party or the traditional gender roles might not apply to the couple. But we are well-versed in capturing all types of love stories, so we'll adapt to whatever comes our way.

And no, there's really nothing different about photographing a same-sex wedding versus a traditional wedding. Love is love, and that's what we are all about. We’re not going to treat your wedding any differently just because you're two brides, two grooms, or you or your partner want to use different pronouns. We got you! We’re just going to capture your love story in all its beautiful glory and have fun at the same time.

What People Are Saying

“From beginning to end they were AMAZING. They were very professional and made the picture process very smooth. The pictures turned out amazing and we received our digital copies in a very timely manner. I hear so many horror stories about brides not getting their photos for months, even years! Aside from their always PROFESSIONAL demeanor and their ability to take beautiful pictures, their value is amazing. I searched a very long time for a photographer because I was on a strict budget. Kellie and Lindsay definitely give you the most for your dollar.”

-Sarah & Sam

“Kellie and Lindsay (as well as the videographers) were absolutely AMAZING! There are not enough words to express just how happy and in love my partner and I are with our wedding photos and video. Kellie answered every worried text I had and Lindsay was absolutely amazing at making two very awkward people feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. They were professional and SO nice! At one point it almost rained and every table had to be cleared; Kellie put down her camera and ran outside and helped my bridesmaids even though I told her not to worry about it! She went out of her way to help bring down stress and made sure we were all having a good time. Thank you Kellie and Lindsay, I can’t recommend you guys enough!”

-Emily & Forrest

I want to start by saying what an absolute pleasure it was working with Kellie and Lindsay. They work so well together as a team and had such wonderful energy throughout our entire wedding.

They were patient, friendly, professional , kind and overall great photographers. They made me feel beautiful. My pictures we sent to me in record time . I would highly recommend Kellie and Lindsay for any special event

- Mari & Anthony

What should I ask my LGBTQ+ wedding photographer?

  • Absolutely! Not only is it a community we are happy to be a part of, we also became LGBTQ+ wedding Certified by the Equality institute. We go out of our way to make sure you feel comfortable on your big day!

  • We have plenty of suggestions and fun things for you to do! We love natural photography, so we try to suggest things that will make you feel comfortable, instead of telling you to point your toe this way, your arm that way, then spin your head around backwards. We want you to be comfortable and its part of our job to make that happen and this shows in your wedding images, no stiff poses, just happy faces. The key to this is to not overthink it, just enjoy the day!

  • We certainly do! We have shot all kinds of LGBTQ+ weddings.

  • A wedding is a unique and special event that happens once in your lifetime, so we always suggest getting a package with two photographers. Your moments are priceless; having two wedding photographers gives you a better chance at capturing them at different angles! It's also very useful during getting ready so each photographer can be with one person getting ready.

  • We shoot around 30-60 weddings every year, we just cant get enough of it.

  • We go through all of your wedding images and remove any where your eyes are closed, people are looking the wrong direction or granny has her hat on backwards. Then everything is organized for you into sections of your day to make it easier to find any images you are looking for. Finally cropping, exposure and color is corrected if needed, and we duplicate some of the ones we love to B&W.
