FAQ

First things first:

How do I know if my photographer is truly LGBTQIA+/Queer friendly?

website:
- Are LGBTQIA+ couples featured on their website?
- Do they use LGBTQIA+ keywords? (lgbtqia+ friendly, safe place, partners, spouses, etc.)
- Do they use heavily gendered words? (Hey brides!” his & her’s, only his name - her name on forms)
- Do they have reviews from LGBTQIA+ couples?

business social media:
- Do they post LGBTQIA+ couples frequently?
- Do they talk about LGBTQIA+ couples outside of Pride Month?
- Do they share the same values as you?
- Do they share posts standing up for LGBTQIA+ folks?
- Are they using inclusive language in their captions?

questions to ask vendors:
- “Are you an ally or part of the LGBTQIA+ community?”
- “Have you worked with LGBTQIA+ couples before?”
- “Are you comfortable with LGBTQIA+ couples physically touching each other?”

check their personal social media accounts: this one is SO important. Vendor’s personal social media accounts will always show their political belief.

GREEN FLAGS:
- Pronouns on social media & website
- “All are safe here!”
- Posting LGBTQIA+ couples frequently
- Attending protests. donating to LGBTQIA+ charities, sharing equal rights posts

RED FLAGS:
- No pronouns
- Only showcase heterosexual couples
- Only heteronormative language

Being LGBTQIA+ friendly is not just, “love is love” -
It’s fighting for what is right.
It’s being queer and trans competent.
It’s being inclusive to all.
