John Alderson Wedding Photography: Why I Love to Shoot Same-Sex Weddings

30 Sept

At John Alderson Wedding Photography, I take great pride in capturing the beauty and authenticity of every couple’s love story, and same-sex weddings hold a special place in my heart. Here’s why I love shooting them:

Celebrating Equality and Love
Same-sex weddings are a celebration of love, equality, and the power of connection, transcending societal norms. Being part of that moment where two people commit to one another in the face of past challenges or prejudices is incredibly moving. Capturing this milestone is more than just photography—it's about honoring their journey.

Unique Stories and Creativity
Each same-sex wedding brings a unique dynamic and personal story. Whether couples break or follow traditions, they often infuse their day with individuality and creativity. As a photographer, this allows me to capture those personal touches that tell a story, creating images that truly reflect who they are.

Emotional Depth and Connection
The raw emotion and profound sense of connection at these weddings can be extraordinary. The journey many couples go through to get to that day often creates an extra layer of intimacy and meaning, and my goal is to preserve that genuine emotion in every shot.

Diverse Venues and Styles
Same-sex weddings often take place in unconventional or creative venues, from stylish city spots to intimate, personal settings. I love shooting in diverse locations, and these weddings often push me to experiment with different compositions, lighting, and settings, which keeps my work fresh and exciting.
Pushing Boundaries in the Industry
I feel honored to contribute to a more inclusive and diverse wedding industry by showcasing same-sex weddings in my portfolio. I believe in pushing boundaries and celebrating all kinds of love, ensuring that everyone feels represented and appreciated in the wedding space.

Ultimately, capturing the joy, love, and connection at same-sex weddings is an experience I value deeply. My goal is to provide every couple, no matter their gender or background, with timeless images that reflect their authentic love story.
