LGBTQ+ Wedding Photography That Feels Authentic, Joyful, and True to You
Your wedding day deserves photography rooted in respect, understanding, and genuine care. Instead of focusing on poses, our LGBTQ+ wedding photography centers on real connection, shared joy, and honest storytelling. For that reason, every couple we photograph feels seen, comfortable, and celebrated throughout the experience.
As an experienced wedding photography studio, Patken Photographer proudly photographs LGBTQ+ weddings across Long Island, New York City, and beyond. From the very beginning, our approach remains inclusive, calm, and grounded in trust. Ultimately, we focus on creating timeless images that reflect who you are, without relying on outdated expectations or assumptions.
An Inclusive and Respectful Photography Experience
Weddings move quickly and carry deep emotional meaning. Because of this, feeling safe and understood truly matters. With that in mind, we approach every LGBTQ+ wedding with awareness, sensitivity, and professionalism. At every stage, our team respects language, family dynamics, and individual traditions.
During the ceremony, we photograph unobtrusively while staying attentive to meaningful moments. Meanwhile, we guide portraits in a way that feels natural and affirming. As a result, couples can relax and fully experience their celebration without feeling staged or uncomfortable.
Photography Designed Around Your Relationship
Every couple brings a different dynamic, energy, and vision to their wedding day. For that reason, our photography adapts to you. Whether your celebration feels elegant, modern, intimate, or high-energy, our focus remains on authenticity.
Before the wedding day, we take time to understand your priorities and comfort level. On the day itself, we balance candid storytelling with refined portraiture. Together, these elements create a complete gallery that reflects emotion, personality, and style.
Experience You Can Trust
With decades of experience photographing weddings of all kinds, Patken Photographer understands the importance of consistency and care. Because we have photographed couples from diverse backgrounds and identities, we recognize how meaningful genuine support feels throughout the process.
Over time, many LGBTQ+ couples who trust us with their wedding photography return for engagement sessions, anniversaries, and future milestones. In fact, these relationships often grow into something far more meaningful than a single event.
A Calm and Supportive Process From Start to Finish
From planning through delivery, our team keeps the process clear, organized, and stress-free. Along the way, we communicate openly, guide when needed, and remain flexible throughout the celebration. Not surprisingly, couples often share how reassured they felt knowing their photography was handled by a team that truly understood them.
Ultimately, the final images feel joyful, honest, and timeless.
