This episode not only marks the end of our Season 2! But also the culmination of Pride month, celebrating love in all its forms.
We wanted to make sure that we represent ALL Grooms are covered off and something that is missed at times are gay men and LGBTQIA+ community.
So in this episode, we delve into the unique and heartfelt journey of LGBTQ+ weddings through the lens of professional photographer Ross Willsher.
As a gay man getting married, Ross shares his personal experiences as an Groom preparing for his wedding and opens up about his professional input into the process.
What areas can gay grooms encounter? Should you embrace the LGBTQ+ community in your theme or just keep it neutral? And have things actually changed in the years since same sex weddings could occur?
Through Ross's story, we gain insights into the importance of inclusivity and representation, ensuring that every groom's experience is honoured and celebrated!
