LGBTQ+ couples

Nicole Lagoe Photography is LGBTQ+-owned. For you, that means a chance to work with a photographer from your own community, and to speak plainly about how you want to be photographed.

What to ask in a first meeting

• Ask to see complete galleries from recent weddings, not only a highlight set.
• Ask whether the photograph package includes a second photographer.
• Find out how many hours are covered, and what overtime costs.
• Confirm the delivery date, the format and how long the online gallery stays active.

Bring this to the meeting

Bring the date, the venue name and a rough timeline, along with a short list of the family groups you want. Share photographs you like and tell the photographer what you dislike. If you want portraits that show affection, a quiet candid style or a more posed approach, say so. If you are nervous in front of a camera, mention it, because a good photographer will adapt.

Weather and light in Central New York

Syracuse has cold winters and bright summers, and light changes fast across the seasons. Ask how the photographer plans for snow, rain or an early sunset. For an autumn wedding, agree on portrait time before dusk, and for a winter wedding, plan indoor locations with good window light.

Wedding dates in summer and early autumn fill up well ahead, so reach out as soon as your date is fixed. Read the contract for payment dates, the cancellation policy and how your images may be used.
