Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?

Beyond friendly — I am proudly queer-owned and have photographed 40+ same-sex weddings across Minnesota since 2018. Inclusive language is built into every contract, questionnaire, and family photo list.

Do you have experience with two-bride / two-groom getting-ready timelines?

Yes — I build dual getting-ready timelines as a default, not an upgrade. Whether you want first-look together, separate prep + reveal, or one-suite hangouts, I plan the lighting and logistics for both partners.

Will you respect chosen names and pronouns?

Always. The booking form asks for chosen names and pronouns up front, and I confirm with every family member and wedding party member on-site. Your dead-name will never appear in galleries, albums, or vendor communications.

Where in Minnesota do you shoot LGBTQ+ weddings?

Statewide — Minneapolis (Hewing Hotel, Machine Shop, Mill City), St. Paul (Landmark Center, A'BULAE), North Shore elopements, Duluth, and Boundary Waters adventure ceremonies.

Same transparent pricing as every couple — $1,800 elopement, $3,500 essentials, $5,500 signature. No premiums, no surprises. Travel within Minnesota is included.

Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?

Yes — 40+ LGBTQ+ weddings shot since 2018. Intake asks pronouns first, contracts use gender-neutral language, and I share a vetted vendor list of LGBTQ+ affirming Twin Cities pros.

Do you photograph two-bride, two-groom, and non-binary weddings?

Yes — every couple configuration. My portfolio and posing library is built for any partnership. Posing is tailored to your bodies, outfits, and comfort — never defaulted to hetero-normative frames.

Do you have LGBTQ+ affirming vendor recommendations?

Yes — battle-tested list of officiants, planners, florists, DJs, and venues in the Twin Cities that I've personally vetted with LGBTQ+ couples. Shared during consultation.

Can you help us plan a queer wedding timeline?

Yes — no assumed "bride prep first / groom prep second" order. We build a timeline around your specific day, your family dynamics, and any traditions (or non-traditions) you want to include.

Do you use gender-neutral contracts?

Yes — my standard contract uses "partner" / "couple" throughout. No fields ask for "bride/groom" — just names, pronouns, and preferred wedding-party terms.

Have you shot LGBTQ+ elopements in MN?

Yes — including Hennepin County courthouse ceremonies, private forest elopements, and destination LGBTQ+ weddings in Palm Springs and Provincetown. Elopement collections start at $1,800.
