A Wedding Photographer’s Journey of Celebration and Connection

From Photographing Pride Parade to Pride Stall

 

As the vibrant colours of Pride paint the streets and the air is filled with the sound of laughter and celebration, I find myself reflecting on the journey that has led me here. A journey of love, acceptance, and the transformative power of photography. As a gay wedding photographer, my path has taken me from capturing the spirit of Pride parades and LGBTQIA+ events to setting up a stall at Exeter Pride. Every step of the way has been a testament to the beauty of queer love and community.

Photographing Pride events has always held a special place in my heart. There’s something indescribably powerful about being surrounded by a sea of rainbow flags, smiling faces, and unapologetic self-expression. But having Pride is also important to foster a more inclusive, accepting, and equitable society.

Celebrating uniqueness 

I am passionate about our community, and with my dearest friends, we set up “BeYou nights” – a delicious drag show cabaret fused with chaotic clubbing to further enrich Exeter’s culture landscape. Since 2017, we have been promoting and celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community, self-expression, and individuality. 

But this year, I’m taking my involvement in Pride to a whole new level by setting up a stall at Exeter Pride—a decision that feels like a natural progression of my journey as a wedding photographer and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s an opportunity for me to connect with couples who are planning their own weddings, to share my passion for visual storytelling through photography, and to celebrate love in all its beautiful, diverse forms.

An extra special treat for all bookings

So if you find yourself at Exeter Pride this year, I invite you to stop by my stall. Whether you’re a newly engaged couple searching for the perfect wedding photographer or simply someone who believes in the transformative power of love. I’d love to connect with you and offer you an extra special treat on all your bookings. Together, let’s celebrate love in all its forms and create memories that will last a lifetime.
