LGBTQ+ couples and two photographers

Hayden Visuals is LGBTQ+-owned and a married pair run it. They prioritize an atmosphere of inclusivity, tolerance and fun at weddings. For same-sex couples, that means two photographers who know what it is to plan a wedding of this kind.

A candid approach

Hayden and Michael are known for observing without intruding, which captures moments in their natural light. If you dislike stiff poses, this style may suit you. After the wedding, you receive high-resolution digital images, and prints can be ordered.

Getting the most from candid coverage

• Share a list of key people so quieter moments are not missed
• Build short breaks into the timeline for portraits
• Tell the photographers where the light is best at your venue
• Let guests know that a photographer will be moving around the room

A candid photographer needs freedom to move, so check that your ceremony space has room for it, and ask the officiant about any limits.

Local context

Rochester sits on Lake Ontario in western New York, with the Genesee River running through the city. Parks, historic buildings and waterfront settings give plenty of options for portraits. Ask your photographers which locations work best in your season, since fall color and winter light call for different plans.
