If you're planning your wedding and find yourself Googling “Where can I find LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographers in the UK?” - you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we see from queer couples, and for good reason.
Too often, the wedding industry still centres cis-het norms, outdated traditions, and rigid expectations. So when you're trying to find a photographer who gets you, respects your identity, and actually celebrates your love (not just tolerates it), the search can feel overwhelming.
We’re Rebel Love Club - and this is exactly why we exist.
Rebel Love Club: Your Queer-Owned, Inclusive Wedding Photography & Videography Team
We’re Steff (she/they) and Ells (they/them), a real-life couple, photography/videography duo, and proud Queer creatives. We don’t just accept LGBTQ+ couples - we are the community. From same-sex weddings to polyamorous celebrations, gender-diverse unions to beautifully non-traditional days, we capture candid, romantic, unfiltered moments for people who refuse to squeeze their love into a heteronormative box.
We’re based in the UK and travel nationwide (and internationally), shooting everything from intimate elopements to big queer parties. If you want photographers who’ll make you feel like your full authentic self, and who know how to pose you without awkward gender assumptions - we’re your people.
The Best Places to Find LGBTQ+ Friendly Wedding Photographers in the UK
Even if we’re not the right fit for you (no hard feelings!), we still want you to find someone who is. So here are some of the best places to look for LGBTQ+ inclusive wedding photographers in the UK:
Rebel Love Directory
A handpicked, actively vetted wedding directory for LGBTQ+ couples and inclusive allies. Every supplier is asked in-depth questions about their allyship and inclusivity - and we don’t list anyone who doesn’t walk the walk.Browse wedding photographers, venues, celebrants, florists and more.
LGBTQ Equality Weddings
A smaller but helpful directory based in the UK, sharing LGBTQ+ inclusive wedding suppliers, especially those who support equal marriage and queer love openly. Great for checking vendor values before reaching out.
Instagram Hashtags
It may sound obvious, but searching hashtags like #lgbtqweddingphotographer, #queerweddinguk, or #gayweddingphotographeruk can help you discover independent creatives who might not be listed on mainstream directories.
Word of Mouth in Queer Circles
Ask your LGBTQ+ friends, community groups, or even local queer-owned businesses if they have recommendations. Queer people tend to know who’s safe and inclusive - and who’s just slapping a rainbow on their brand for Pride month.
What to Look For When Choosing a Photographer
Lived experience or active allyship Are they LGBTQ+ themselves, or are they doing the real work to show up as an ally?
Inclusive language & representation Check their website and socials, do they feature queer couples? Do they use gender-neutral language?
Vibe check Are they excited about your vision? Do they feel like someone you can trust with your most intimate moments?
