What do you offer?

I provide calm, compassion wedding photography for fabulous couples like you. With me you are captured beautifully, sensitively and safely within your comfort zone.

Why do you want to work with the LGBTQ+ community?

I'm a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community but that wasn't always so. Self-acceptance took a long time for me and now it's so important that I pay that back. Even couples who are getting married still face barriers to the quality and comfort of their experience. I'm here to break down stereotypes, stigmas and anything that prevents people from being 100% themselves.

Allyship

I am always learning! Even as a proud gay man, I never rest on my laurels or believe I know all there is to know about gender, sexuality and identity. I post regular content for both couples and suppliers about topics relating to equality and inclusion and I'm about to publish a book called "Celebrated' which aims to uplift, empower and inspire couples of all identities to embrace their truest selves as they pan their wedding.

I use inclusive language - which is the bare minimum anyone should be doing - and of course my images showcase couples of all body types, genders and relationships. The images on my website showcase the diversity of love and relationships and I love that when people view my work the first they see is connection and joy not gender and sexuality. I am open about my own journey towards self-acceptance and I recommend other LGBTQ+-inclusive suppliers to my couples so they can surround themselves with the most supportive wedding team possible.
