LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Vendor Guide for Engaged Couples

I don’t see many wedding vendor guides that exist for New Jersey or New York that are LGBTQIA+ or inclusive. (Most of these businesses are local to Asbury Park, NJ). I struggle with finding them even as a queer photographer in this industry so I wanted to put this together to hopefully help make your planning process a bit easier. We’re out here, you have more support than you know! All businesses listed are also woman owned as I feel that women are also still highly under represented in every industry.

I’ve worked with most of these vendors and I highly recommend any of them for your wedding or elopement, they are all incredibly talented. I’ll also be adding onto this list as time goes on- and though there are far more, each one listed was intentionally chosen. And if you know any vendors who would like to be added to it please reach out!

This is something that should exist across the board and I wish I didn’t even have to make this guide. Here’s to working towards a future where that exists. And in the mean time, in my corner of the world, you are always safe and celebrated as you are. I want everyone to have easy access to safe vendors who share the same values. I only work with those who celebrate all love. I hope this guide is helpful.
