June 18, 202562. Checking In + Being Excited To Shoot Gay Weddings Doesn't Make You An Ally
Send Wildly Connected a Text!
How is everyone holding up? This week we check in about all that's happening, learn about the lesbian flag and have a little bit of an uncomfortable conversation on something I get a little firey about. Specifically: the way some straight vendors get excited about photographing queer weddings not because they care about our community, but because it makes them look cool, inclusive, or “good.”

May 14, 2025 61. Confronting Problematic Vendors – From Both Sides of the Aisle
Send Wildly Connected a Text!
today we’re diving into a topic that’s not always comfortable but so important: confronting problematic vendors.
Whether you're a couple planning your wedding or a vendor working in the industry, you’ve probably witnessed or experienced something that made you think, “Yikes… what do I do here?”
We’re talking everything from microaggressions to “wow… that REALLY like REALLY should have been an inside thought” moments, and how to handle these moments with clarity, care, and courage. We'll look at this from both perspectives: how couples can respond, and how vendors can step up and hold each other accountable.

I learned about this week's "Know Homo" segment from HERE.

HERE is the episode on more red flags.

Couples: What things can you be looking for in how vendors are moving through the world to see if they really are genuinely passionate about working with you and for you and not just doing the bare minimum or rainbow washing?
Vendors: How can you speak authentically both to couples and the general wedding space in a way that genuinely showcases your desire to work with lgbtq+ couples and aren't just checking a box or approaching it in a way that centers you too much?

Send Wildly Connected a Text!
It's 2025 my dudes, and one thing we are not going to do, is start our year off by continuing to drag our feet on making important changes in our businesses. Being a more inclusive vendor is important and should be treated with urgency as a means of respect. We need to chat about it's important to do better once you know better in a TIMELY manner.
