What do you offer?

I offer a fun, genuine and authentic approach to photography - chucking tradition out the window, and photographing all the best moments in a modern yet naturally and unobtrusive way. I want my couples to be able to enjoy every single second of their day, and to be able to relive their wedding through their gallery exactly how they remember it.

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

For someone who is not personally part of the LGBTQ+ community, it is extremely important to me to be able to be as inclusive as possible to those within the community. I have many close friends and family members (many who I have met through my time as a photographer and attending LGBTQ+ workshops) and who are in the LGBTQ+ community so it is very close to my heart. As a wedding photographer, I see the change that needs to happen within the wedding industry. I stand by those within the LGBTQ+ community who are looking to get married in a very cis-heteronormative industry and I want every love story to be celebrated and every soul to be respected and loved.

Allyship

I am always looking to learn and better educate myself in the values and what it means to be an ally for the LGBTQ+ community. Whether this is attending workshops and speaking and working with couples in the LGBTQ+ community, staying up to date on current changes and movements within the community and making sure I am using the correct terminology within my business and social media to be as inclusive as possible and creating a safe space for those in the LGBTQ+ community.
