Are we still talking about gay or straight wedding? In 2026, love is love, and your wedding photography should reflect your unique story as a couple. Here are some tips to help you plan

Look for photographers who regularly photograph LGBTQ+ weddings and show authentic, respectful representations of male couples in their portfolio.
Talk openly about whether you prefer romantic, playful, editorial, or documentary-style images so your connection is captured in a way that feels true to you.
Focus on movement, closeness, and interaction—walking together, laughing, foreheads touching, or hands in pockets—to avoid stiff or overly gendered posing.
Mix strong, confident stances with softer moments like gentle touches, leaning in, or quiet eye contact to create emotional and dynamic images.
Choose suits or outfits that complement each other in tone, texture, or formality while still allowing individual personality to shine.
Spend time rehearsing simple poses or interactions so you feel comfortable with proximity, touch, and expression on camera.
Build space into your timeline for relaxed, private portraits where you can focus on each other without guests watching.
Standing at slight angles, shifting weight, and closing physical space between you creates stronger lines and more flattering compositions.
Don’t hold back on affection—hugs, kisses, and hand-holding photograph beautifully and reflect your relationship honestly.
A good photographer will guide poses, adjust energy levels, and adapt traditional wedding imagery into poses that celebrate two grooms equally.
