(I’m still drooling over these bridal photos of A + L. The romance, the vintage wedding vibes, I love everything about these two!)
The Changing Landscape of Wedding Photography
The wedding photography industry in Utah, like in many other places, has undergone significant changes over the years. With the growing acceptance and recognition of LGBTQ+ rights, photographers have stepped up to embrace diversity and inclusivity. LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographers in Utah understand the significance of love and union, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. When I first started photographing weddings, I specialized in same sex weddings as Utah was not as accepting as it is now. That was only 11 years ago. Utah has undergone significant changes, although it still has so much work to do, and even though I don’t specialize just in LGBTQ+ couples anymore, I absolutely love working with all couples of all types and believe each human being is individual- I will never categorize anyone. Every human is deserving of an amazing life, beautiful love, and a great experience with their wedding and wedding photography.
Did I properly introduce myself? HI! I’m Jules. I’m an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographer and videographer in Utah and the PNW. There is nothing I love more than showing your love in an artistic style. Your love itself is the work of art. I’m here to facilitate that love and translate it into photographs, creating moments that show the way your love FEELS. The way your love speaks to the universe. And representing same sex and LGBTQ+ relationships is so important. Society hasn’t always accepted LGBTQ+ relationships, and I believe with my whole heart that love is love, no matter who or how you love.
Representation Matters!
Having a wedding photographer who is genuinely LGBTQ+ friendly means they are attuned to the subtle nuances that make each love story unique. I believe in creating a safe space where couples can express themselves fully, leading to authentic and emotionally charged photographs that capture the essence of their relationship.
It’s important to work with an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographer who possesses the essential traits of sensitivity and understanding. You want your photographer to be well-versed in the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ couples and someone who can anticipate potential issues that may arise during the wedding planning process. I want you to know I empathize with you and will do all I can to foster a trusting relationship, allowing for candid and intimate moments to be captured in the most beautiful way. It would be my honor to celebrate your love and document it via photographs.
When couples feel comfortable and supported, the magic of candid photography unfolds. LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographers in Utah, including us Datura Photo, use inclusive posing techniques that showcase the love and chemistry between partners, regardless of gender identities. Additionally, they approach storytelling with an open mind, ensuring that every aspect of your relationship is beautifully depicted in their wedding album.
Supportive Vendor Networks
Collaboration is key in the wedding industry, and LGBTQ+ friendly photographers are often well-connected with other vendors who share their values of inclusivity and acceptance. This support network ensures a seamless and stress-free wedding experience, where every professional involved works together to make the couple's dream wedding a reality.
I have several colleagues in the wedding industry that are LGBTQ+ friendly that I would love sharing with you.
Love is a universal language,
and capturing its beauty through wedding photography is a privilege that LGBTQ+ friendly photographers in Utah fully understand. With sensitivity, understanding, and commitment to inclusivity, you will have a safe and supportive environment to express your love freely. Choosing an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographer in Utah ensures that every cherished moment of love and celebration will be captured in stunning detail, forming lasting memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.
