Unlike many other gay wedding photographers in London, I only photograph 20 weddings a year. This is to ensure you receive an absolutely incredible wedding photography experience. Contact me today and let’s begin your once-in-a-lifetime queer wedding planning journey.
A QUEER wedding photographer who helps you ditch the stereotypes
With me, it doesn’t matter where you sit within the LGBTQ+ rainbow – you are valued and celebrated.
You can be unapologetically loud and proud, a little more reserved and introverted or a fabulous combination of ying and yang personalities. As a gay and same sex wedding photographer I’ll work with you to make you feel special, uplifted, and fabulous in your own skin.
Just like straight weddings, every queer wedding is unique and every wedding I’ve captured holds a special place in my heart because I’ve played a part in helping to celebrate what makes each couple so fabulous.
I shoot gay weddings in London, Essex, West Sussex and all over the UK. Therefore, wherever you are based, I’m here to be an integral member of your gay wedding team and champion individuality and freedom to express yourself authentically.
Let’s make those gay wedding plans and queer wedding dreams a beautiful reality.
Emotive captures of your LGBTQ+ wedding or civil partnership
Being a gay photographer myself, I understand that your identity and sexuality doesn’t dictate and limit the type of wedding celebration you are curating. Whether you are planning a gay wedding or a civil partnership – in London or further afield – I take the time to get to know you as individuals and capture the moments that really matter to you.
I know how to gently pose two brides or two grooms in a way which feels comfortable and natural to you both.
Gay wedding photos that capture you at your very best
I know from years of experience in being a gay wedding photographer, London is a fantastic city in which to hold your LGBTQ++ wedding. There are so many inclusive venues and suppliers to help you feel your best and look awesome on your special day. So, whether you are getting wed in the heart of the city or – like these two gorgeous brides – in a beautiful garden on the outskirts of the captial, rest assured you’ll look absolutely gorgeous.
LGBTQ+ Wedding photography that keeps you in your comfort zone
When you look back at your wedding photos, you’ll see yourselves looking and feeling your absolute best, and be so delighted that you did not feel pressure to perform or act for the camera, which can often be the case with other wedding photographers.
If something doesn’t feel comfortable or natural to you, or doesn’t reflect your true personalities, then you will never be asked to do it on camera. These are your wedding photos and the images will be your treasured possessions throughout your married life. I’m never going to ask you to do something you don’t want to simply because of current trends, or because I think it will look good in my portfolio.

If you think gay wedding photography is all about stylish poses and formality, I hope these images help you see that your wedding shoot is so much more than that!

GAY wedding photographY reviews
I’m always blown away by the wonderful LGBTQ+ wedding photography reviews I receive. Here are some glowing reviews from gay weddings and civil partnerships that I have been fortunate enough to capture. These kind words are proof that my approach to gay wedding photography is all about capturing queer joy.
YOUR Proud Gay wedding photographer
It took me many years to come to terms with my sexuality. It has been a journey that began with shame but is now shrouded in pride and freedom. I love being a gay photographer and helping couples like you to celebrate your wedding day with the same feelings of pride and freedom that all queer people deserve to experience.
I understand that your LGBTQ wedding is not just a celebration of your personal love story; it is also acknowledgement of greater equality and acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. Whilst we have work still to do, your wedding day will inspire young queer people to embrace their sexuality and know that they too can find love and acceptance.
LONDON Wedding photos you’ll treasure forever
Gay weddings – like all wedding days – can go by in the blink of an eye. Through authentic wedding photography (i.e. no faddy filters or forced smiles) you’ll have keepsakes of moments so fleeting you may have missed them the first time around. As you look back through your wedding album, many memories, so much laughter and endless stories will leap off the page and you will experience all those wonderful emotions like they were happening for the first time.

LGBTQ+ wedding photography: FAQs
In terms of the validity and beauty of your wedding day and your love, there is no difference between straight and same sex weddings. However, many wedding traditions are based on gender-based roles and stereotypes and these often do not resonate with two brides or two grooms.Be assured that you can make your wedding day anything you want to be. You can ditch or update traditions to make them more meaningful to you. There really are no rules.
Of course! Hopefully, in time, there will be no distinction needed between a gay wedding and a straight wedding. However, wedding suppliers like myself create pages like this one that refer specifically to LGBTQ+ weddings, gay weddings, or same sex weddings, so that queer couples can find suppliers who are inclusive and celebratory about LGBTQ+ love.
Gay wedding ceremonies are the same as any other wedding ceremony. Vows are exchanged, as are rings and a reading or two are shared. When it comes to walking down the aisles, two brides or two grooms may choose to come accompanied by loved ones or friends, walk alone or walk together.
Fear not! The best thing about being one of several talented gay wedding photographers in London is that I know some hugely talented professional photographers who can stand in for me at the drop of a hat. It will be my responsibility to source an alternative London same sex wedding photographer of similar ability and style.
Wedding photos with a timeless quality aren’t always created under perfect weather conditions. If your wedding takes places in wet and windy conditions, we have several choices; wait for breaks in the weather, get creative indoors or embrace it and get a little wet. I bring clear umbrellas to my shoots so poor weather never limits the amount or quality of the wedding photos you receive.
