Photographing commitment ceremonies or same sex weddings requires that the photographer is present at one of the most intimate times in a couple’s life together. Sharing the joy, and illuminating the love, it is integral that your photographer holds your vows as sacred. I have been honored to have photographed over 100 same sex weddings over the past 25 years.
I am slightly uncomfortable categorizing a wedding as a “gay wedding” because honestly, it is a wedding between two people that love each other and want to share their sacred vows with one another. But.. for the sake of people being able to decipher a wedding vendor that supports equal rights, I wanted to make sure you knew some facts. I am an equal rights photographer. I am LGBT friendly. I love weddings. I don’t care what your sexual preference is. I love people. Photographing weddings requires that the photographer is present at one of the most intimate times in a couple’s life together. Being able to support that and document those moments is of the utmost importance to me. I am proud to be an active member of The Atlanta Gay and Lesbian Chamber or Commerce, longtime former member of The Greater Seattle Business Association, and the proprietor of a Gay-friendly business.
