If you are Queer, LGBTQAI+, or Trans looking for a wedding team or a photographer can feel intimidating. Having to reach out to venues and vendors to ask if they will work with you shouldn’t be how you have to start planning your wedding.
By hiring a Queer photographer and other LGBTQ celebratory vendors, you’ll never have to worry about that.
I have been working with Queer couples in Durham, Raleigh and around North Carolina for 5 years now. As a Queer photographer, it is important for me to be able to work with vendors who I also feel comfortable with and can suggest to my clients.
I will share some of my favorite LGBTQ Celebratory vendors in Durham, and some of the venues I have worked with in the triangle.
Your Queer wedding should feel gay! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
