In a world that is becoming increasingly diverse and inclusive, we believes that businesses should evolve to reflect the beautiful variety of human experiences. And if you know us personally, you know that we truly believe this and show this through our actions every day.
We are proud to not only be a LGBTQ+ operated business but we are also proud to offer a gender-neutral wedding photography experience. We are committed to celebrating love, life, and moments without the constraints of traditional gender roles! You won’t find words like “bride” or “groom” on our site because we recognize and honor the spectrum of identities and relationships that exist in our world today.
Why Gender Neutrality Matters
Language shapes our reality. The terms we use can either include or exclude, affirm or alienate. Traditional wedding and engagement photography often defaults to gendered language, which can inadvertently marginalize non-binary individuals and same-sex couples. By adopting a gender-neutral approach, we aim to create an environment where everyone feels seen, respected, and celebrated.
Gender neutrality is not just about removing certain words from our vocabulary; it's about fostering a mindset of inclusivity and respect. It’s about acknowledging that love and life don’t fit neatly into predefined boxes and that every person’s journey is unique.
Our Gender-Neutral Photography Promise
Inclusive Language: On our website, social media pages, and in our contracts, we use inclusive language, but if you do have preferred pronouns, we will use those in all our communications. Terms like “partner,” “spouse,” “nearlyweds,” and “couple” replace gender-specific terms everyday here! However, if a couple wishes to be referred to as a bride or groom (or any other term!), we will make those adjustments in our communications with that specific couple. This ensures that everyone, regardless of their gender identity or the nature of their relationship, feels included.
Personalized Experience: We take the time to get to know each client individually, understanding their preferences, their story, and what makes their relationship unique. This personalized approach allows us to capture the essence of their connection in a way that is true to them.
Continuous Learning: Inclusivity is a journey, not a destination. We are committed to continuous learning and improvement, staying informed about the best practices in gender-neutral communication and inclusive photography.

Our gender-neutral approach ensures that everyone feels welcome and valued. By moving away from traditional gender roles and expectations, we can focus on what truly matters: the love, joy, and connection that bring people together.
