Gay & LGBTQ wedding photography by documentary wedding photographer Surrey

If you are looking for lgbtq wedding photography by a documentary wedding photographer that will capture the moments that matter – and the moments in between the moments – have a look at this gay wedding I recently captured (with my second shooter) in the Netherlands. It was an amazing day, filled with love, laughter, happy tears, rainbows and unicorns – Yes, they do exist and this one was called Dirk ;-).

There are many same-sex and gay-friendly wedding venues out there that are unique, quirky, elegant, stylish but mostly do not discriminate against LGBT weddings. If you are looking for a lovely venue in the Surrey & surrounding area (although there’s a few a bit further afield that are awesome!), here’s a few websites to get you started on your research, with Pink Wedding Venues and The Gay Wedding Guide holding quite a few options to look at.

Same-sex and gay-friendly wedding venues

The ones that are particularly lovely and caught my eye and where I would love to capture same-sex wedding photography, are:
Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey where I am also listed as a recommended wedding supplier :-)
Millbridge Court in Farnham, Surrey
Hartsfield Manor in Betchworth, Surrey
The Hilton Cobham in Cobham, Surrey
Crown Plaza Felbridge in Gatwick, Surrey
Gatton Manor Hotel in Ockley, Surrey
Gorse Hill in Woking, Surrey
Stawberry Hill House in Twickenham, Middlesex
Farnham Castle in Farnham, Surrey
Yew Lodge Country House in East Grinstead, West Sussex
Leeds Castle in Maidstone, Kent
Riverdale Barn in Yateley, Hampshire
