LGBTQ+ Wedding Shoots Manchester
Manchester has such an amazing, vibrant LGBTQ+ community and for
me it is so very important to be able to represent gay, lesbian,
trans and non-binary couples with my wedding photography.
With Manchester Pride a yearly occurrence and the Gay Village
being one of the most thriving spots in Manchester you would
assume that Manchester is forward thinking when it comes to
representing the LGBTQ+ community.
I think in many areas Manchester is forward thinking but some
parts of the wedding industry may be a bit farther behind. I have
come across venues that may only refer to bridal prep room or only
have literature that refers to the bride and groom.
I always want to show and represent love between everyone… Love is
love and I celebrate love in all its forms. When I hear that
couples come across prejudice within the wedding industry it
upsets me so much.
Why should certain couples feel segregated or unable to express
their love towards one another because they don’t fall into a
traditional bride and groom package. I have photographed the
weddings of trans, gay and lesbian couples and each one is so
important to me as it makes me realise how far we have come since
gay weddings were finally legalised.
I feel really passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community
with my wedding photography and am here for your wedding or
celebration of love, however you choose to express it. From
intimate elopement weddings to big elaborate weddings I have
experienced photographing them all and I am confident I can
creatively tell your love story with compassion, honesty and
