Vendors: How can you speak authentically both to couples and the general wedding space in a way that genuinely showcases your desire to work with lgbtq+ couples and aren't just...

It's 2025 my dudes, and one thing we are not going to do, is start our year off by continuing to drag our feet on making important changes in our businesses. Being a more inclusive vendor is important and should be treated with urgency as a means of respect. We need to chat about it's important to do better once you know better in a TIMELY manner.

Accesory posing is something we've all likely done because it's everywhere. But what is it exactly and how can we adjust how we see and practice this?

Everything from getting ready to the last minute of the dance floor (or no dance floor, because hey, that's not required ya know!), we will chat about opt...

This election season has weighed heavy on the lgbtq+ community and of course so many others. This episode delves into what that has looked like for us over the past few months and the importance of all of us voting. Thank you to Kayla and Taylor for sharing how they decided to get legally married a little earlier than planned.

Today I speak with Queer Couple Experts, Ash and Dawn Noble who have helped many queer couples with their relationships. We don't often have models of how to navigate things as queer couples- and that's where these two come in! Because weddings are such a unique and often stressful time, I wanted to hear their expert advice on how to navigate the stresses of wedding planning and also how to en...

PLANNING

  1. Just because I don’t always see my kind of love or gender expression represented, does not mean I am any less worthy of being in this space and having happiness.
  2. Our love has just as much of a place in the world as anyone else’s
  3. Our love deserves space in the world.
  4. We don’t need others to understand or validate our process or love.
  5. My love and how we love each other is worthy and valid.
  6. Hate has...

Think creating a guest list is hard!? Well it IS but then you sprinle some gayness in and it can be an even bigger jumbled mess. This episode is all about the realities of that but also all about giving practical tips that you as a queer couple can use in your planning, or that for those outside of the community, you can take some notes to share with future couples :)

Not only do the words we have on our website and in our social media bios matter, but also how we are showing up and chatting with our queer couples for their photos and on their wedding day.
In this episode, I give some practical tips for things that I actually say to my couples to keep things feeling gender-netural and a safe environment, please steal them if you find it helpful!
