If you’re worried about the stress and pressure of planning a big, traditional wedding and want your special day to be more intimate and meaningful, elopement might be the perfect choice for you. Contrary to popular belief, this doesn’t mean sacrificing the day's romance, magic, and beauty. As a queer wedding and elopement photographer with over ten years in this industry, I’ve compiled a growing list of benefits of eloping, which may be particularly helpful for LGBTQ+ folks — romance, magic, and beauty included. Let’s explore these points in more detail, with an emphasis on nature elopements:

One of the most important things about being an LGBTQ+ wedding and elopement photographer who wants to be part of radical change in the wedding industry is connecting with other like-minded photographers to exchange stories and knowledge. The community and standards we build together will pave the way for the future!

This week in my podcast, I spoke with D (they/them) and Meg (she/her/they/them) from River and Root photography to talk about their experiences in this industry and how they intentionally run their business to change the wedding industry for the better.

If you’re feeling a little anxious about finding a wedding officiant who truly supports you, you’re not alone.

This week I interview Elizabeth who is an amazing ally to the lgbtq+ community and we go over questions that she has and also that you all have regarding working with the lgbtq+ community. Things like:
- is it ok to ask for pronouns more than once?

- ways to pose queer couples a
and more! 
I hope you'll share this with someone who could learn a little more this week.

This week I interviewed an absolute gem of a couple, Maple and Sloane.
These two have been through SO much together and you can tell that their love is SO real. Here, they discuss not only their relationship story, but dive deep into what their elopement experience was like and discuss why it could be a really great option for other queer couples.
