FLO + JADE’S GORGEOUS OUTDOOR SPRING WEDDING
When you are looking for a photographer, whether that be an ally who specialises in being an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographer or a local wedding photographer – what you have to know is that professional is hoping that you find them too. An ideal client who is searching for their particular photographic style and specifically wants natural LGBTQ+ wedding photography. This is exactly what happened when Flo and Jade’s enquiry landed in my inbox. They were both so lovely in our initial meeting and described how they wanted a relaxed wedding day with the focus on their love, their family, friends and the overall vibe of the day. Perfection.
Relaxed and Natural LGBTQ+ Wedding Photography
I was really excited when they booked me for their wedding as they were planning (with the right weather) to have an outdoor wedding ceremony. For couples seeking natural LGBTQ+ wedding photography, outdoor ceremonies provide authentic moments and relaxed settings. It is no secret but as a wedding photographer I adore outdoor wedding ceremonies. As luck would have it, their day was graced with sunshine and the rest was history. Arriving in two different classic cars, the ladies arrived with their wedding parties and walked down the aisle with their fathers. The ceremony was emotional and wonderful with really thoughtful speeches and readings. Now you would not tell, but the wedding reception was quite tight and did not leave any wiggle room for portraits. However, this is why relaxed couples are my target audience – we made up our portrait time after some lovely speeches and dinner. Ultimately, these spontaneous moments are the aim of natural LGBTQ+ wedding photography and help tell a genuine story of the day. This not only meant that the vibe was relaxed, but also that the couple got a chunk of time to catch up with each other and be alone (with me capturing from a distance obviously!) After this there was cake and dancing and I am thankful that Flo and Jade trusted in me and that I was able to be part of their day.
Thank you to Flo anD Jade for sharing this gorgeous wedding and for their wonderful suppliers for making their day all they could have wished for
