Your language
The enquiry form asks for your names, not a bride and groom. Your photographer asks for your pronouns and the words you use for each other, then uses them in planning and on the day.

01Our approach
Inclusive wedding photography that follows your lead
Your wedding should be planned around you, not around a template written for someone else.
A lot of the wedding industry still runs on assumptions. It expects a bride and a groom, someone walking down the aisle on a parent's arm, and two sets of preparations split neatly by gender. Plenty of couples want some of those things and plenty want none of them. Wedding Photographer Newcastle asks first and plans your coverage around the answers.
On the day, coverage is documentary, just as it is at any other wedding. Your photographer steps in to direct family photographs and portraits, then stays out of the way for the rest of the time.
02What inclusive means here
What working with an inclusive photographer looks like
Inclusion is mostly about small details handled well every time, starting with the very first email.
No assumed roles
Who gets ready where, who walks in first, and if anyone walks you in at all. You decide, and the coverage is planned around it.
Traditions you choose
Keep the traditions you love, adapt others and leave out the rest. A first look, a joint entrance or a different take on the speeches all work well.
03Portraits
Same-sex couple portraits without the formulas
A lot of standard wedding posing is built around one taller partner and one shorter partner in a dress. It rarely suits anyone well, and it suits many couples not at all.
Direction is based on you instead. It starts with your heights and the way you naturally hold each other, and with what makes you laugh. Simple prompts like a walk or a whisper lead to natural portraits on the Quayside, in a walled garden or wherever your day takes you.
- Posing guided by comfort, not by gender
- Suits, dresses and accessories photographed with equal care
- Any angles or details you prefer to avoid, simply left out
04Family and guests
Family photographs that include your people
Family can be complicated for anyone. Group photographs are planned with you before the day, so the list reflects the people who matter, chosen family included. The wedding day timeline guide shows where groups usually sit in the running order. For a smaller gathering, register office and small wedding photography keeps the list short. Either way, your wedding photographer in Newcastle keeps people moving so you can get back to the party.
Your list
A group shot list built together, with no fixed template of who should appear.
A quiet word
Mention any sensitivities in advance and they are handled discreetly on the day.
A helper
A friend who knows everyone rounds people up, so groups move quickly.
Back to the party
Then it is back to documentary coverage while you enjoy your guests.

LGBTQ+ wedding questions
Do you photograph same-sex weddings and civil partnerships?
Yes. Same-sex couples have been able to marry in England since 2014, and civil partnerships are open to all couples. Weddings, civil partnership ceremonies, elopements and celebrations of every size are all covered. If you are planning a religious ceremony, check with your faith group and local register office, as arrangements vary.
How do we check availability and get a quote?
Send your date, venue and a little about your plans through the enquiry form. Wedding Photographer Newcastle will reply by email with availability and a quote that matches the coverage you need.
How do you make sure the language is right?
By asking. Before the day your photographer checks your names, pronouns and how you describe each other, and uses them in emails and in conversation with your guests and suppliers. If anything changes, just say.
We are getting ready in different places. Can you cover both?
Yes. Adding a second photographer means both sets of preparations can be covered at the same time. Getting ready together is just as easy to photograph, and often a lot of fun.
Can we have an engagement shoot before the wedding?
Yes. Engagement shoots take place across Newcastle and Northumberland and are a good way to get to know your photographer before the wedding. For venue ideas, the venue guide is a good place to start.
