Shotgun Weddings

Alternative wedding photographer in Brighton, with photo booths, slow-mo booths and video.

Shotgun Weddings is a Brighton wedding photography business led by Emma Joanne, known as EJ. The style is alternative and playful, with strong colour, humour and bold composition. It is not aimed at everyone, and the studio says so openly.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends Shotgun Weddings for couples who want something a little different from a traditional album. The studio markets itself as a gay wedding photographer in Brighton, and it carries a recommendation badge from The Gay Wedding Guide. Its discreet but fun approach suits couples who would rather laugh than pose.
