You’ve booked the wedding photographer, hired an amazing baker for your wedding cake, and chosen a stunning venue for your ceremony. Everything is going fantastic! But then you ask yourself, “Should hire a gay wedding videographer to document our wedding day?” The answer is simple: HECK YEAH!
Honestly, the best way to relive the magic of your wedding day is through cinematic, artistic filmmaking. Don’t get us wrong, we absolutely love wedding photography and think that photo coverage is a must. However, there are simply moments on your wedding day that photography will not accurately record. Heartfelt speeches by friends & family, kick-ass dance moves, and deeply romantic wedding vows are better on video vs photo. Unfortunately, there are many assholes in the wedding industry who won’t video same-sex couples for “religious reasons”. But you know what? That just leaves more awesome couples for our filmmakers to document! So check out some of our gay wedding videography for the madly in love by viewing some of our same-sex wedding films. Our goal is to document the most romantic gay weddings in the world, so if that sounds like you then we would love to hear from you!
Still, have questions about hiring a gay wedding videographer for your upcoming elopement or wedding? Send us a message because we would love to discuss wedding videography packages, and how our filmmakers can document your same-sex wedding in a way that is both truly romantic and authentic!
Quickest way to reach me? Text your wedding date to 951-704-9503.
Hiring a gay wedding videographer for your destination wedding comes with a bonus most couples don’t think about. Once your film is done, you can post it on YouTube. Grandma couldn’t make the flight to Palm Springs? Your best friend got stuck at work? Send them the link. They’ll see the vows, the toasts and the dance floor like they were right there with you.
Then share it on social. Fair warning, your friends are going to get a little jealous. Whether you married in San Francisco, Palm Springs or somewhere overseas, a great wedding film beats a photo dump every time. And after all that planning, you’ve earned the right to show off.

Ryan Ryan Ryan, I think the easiest way to put this, if you want the most artistic, badass, creative, bitchin’, all your friends will be jealous wedding photos, freakin hire Ryan! He is so so rad, down to earth, and beyond awesome! Whatever he says, do it, he will make you look and feel like […]
If I had to sum up Ryan in a sentence, it would read as follows: He is an excellent, super funny dude and an absolutely brilliant photographer. Ryan and I actually go back a lot further than just him documenting my wife and I’s wedding on Halloween of 2015. We have been friends for over […]
Ryan is absolutely gifted at Photography- a visual story teller if you will! He has a keen eye for detail and is exceptional at capturing the best lighting! Someone once said, “we take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone,” and though my Temecula engagement session was short and sweet, my husband […]
Ryan is an incredible photographer. I am extremely pleased with the quality of his work, his timeliness, his attentiveness, and his amazing talent. Throughout the time that we booked him and our actual Temecula wedding, he checked in on us several times. I must say he was much more than just our wedding photographer. During […]
Ryan was amazing! Given that we are from Texas and Temecula was our destination wedding, each time we came into town we not only got to touch base with Ryan and discuss wedding details but he even offered his help when finding accommodations, food venues and anything else of the like. It’s hard to even […]
What can I say….Phenomenal!!!! When looking for a photographer for our Temecula wedding we went through many, many websites and researched each one thoroughly. The first thing that caught our eye was the fact that he appeared to be fun, which is what we were looking for as well as the stunning photos on his […]

Before you book a gay wedding videographer, let’s slow down for a sec – you’ve got to decide where you’re getting married. I know, it sounds obvious, but trust me, this can be one of the trickiest parts.
Not sure if you’re leaning toward eloping on a beach, toes in the sand, salty breeze in your hair, or a fancy hotel wedding where you can dance all night with your friends and Whitney Houston blasting in the background? Totally valid either way.
The good news? There are so many LGBTQ-friendly destination wedding packages across the U.S. that make planning fun instead of stressful. So here’s the part you’ll love: I’ve rounded up the top 5 LGBTQ-friendly destinations where your wedding day can be exactly how you want it – no compromises, just pure celebration.
Seriously, Palm Springs has it all. Desert elopements? Check. Posh, artsy hotels for big or small weddings? Double check. Amazing food, world-class art, and sunshine almost every day? You’re living the dream.
Elopements or intimate weddings feel unforgettable here, with stunning desert landscapes and iconic mid-century modern architecture as your backdrop. Local vendors will help make your vision come alive. Need a show-stopping dress or a suit that turns heads? LGBTQ-owned boutiques have you covered.
Planning your wedding? Forget stress. This desert oasis makes the whole thing a fun, personal adventure. Love, laughter, and acceptance are built right into the scenery.
Go ahead – get naked in the pool after your ceremony, grab cocktails at TacQuila, dance under the stars, or take a spontaneous hike in the San Jacinto Mountains.
Other must-dos:
Palm Springs doesn’t just host your wedding – it turns it up. Sun, style, adventure, and a little chaos make every moment unforgettable. Also, check out some of my Palm Springs elopement packages here.
Hiking trails, cocktails by the pool, or swaying in a hammock on the beach. Sound like your kind of wedding weekend? Then put O’ahu at the top of your list for a gay destination wedding.
Here’s a fun bit of history. Hawaii is where the fight for same-sex marriage in America really started, back in the early ’90s. Marriage equality became law here in 2013, and the island has been rolling out the aloha ever since.
The paperwork is easy too. Apply for your marriage license online, get it approved by a license agent, and you can say “I do” that same day. No waiting period.
Sunset beach ceremony, a big party, or just the two of you? O’ahu handles all three. Bring a gay wedding videographer who knows the island, and every laugh, kiss and happy tear ends up on film. Still need an outfit? Local boutiques have you covered, from fabulous dresses to sharp suits.
Why couples fall for O’ahu:
Imagine standing in the heart of San Francisco, California, the bedrock of LGBTQ rights, to say “I Do!”. This vibrant city is a treasure trove for LGBTQ couples yearning for a unique place to exchange vows. You’re surrounded by the iconic Castro district, brimming with LGBTQ-friendly venues. Not to mention, one of the best places for gay couples to elope is the iconic San Francisco City Hall!
Envision professional gay wedding photographers, encapsulating your joy in every frame. San Francisco’s abundance of LGBT-owned businesses is ready to fulfill your every wedding wish. From a delectable wedding cake to the perfect wedding dress, they’ve got you covered. Consider an intimate elopement, a heartfelt experience that San Francisco can beautifully host.
Key Benefits of Visiting and Getting Married in San Francisco:
New York City might be the best place in America for an LGBTQ wedding. Honestly, it’s not even close. The modern gay rights movement started here, at the Stonewall Inn in 1969, and same-sex marriage has been legal in New York since 2011.
Flying in? Get your marriage license at least a day early. New York makes you wait 24 hours before the ceremony, and nobody wants to find that out at the clerk’s window.
Want small? Grab a hidden corner of Central Park. Want big? Rent a historic building and go full Gatsby. Somewhere in between, a rooftop with the skyline behind you does the trick. The city is full of LGBTQ-owned planners, photographers and gay wedding videographers too, so your whole team can be people who get it.
Key Benefits of Visiting and Getting Married in New York City:
Planning an LGBTQ wedding in Vancouver? Good choice. British Columbia legalized same-sex marriage back in 2003, two years before the rest of Canada caught up. And you don’t need to live here to get married here. Fly in, grab your license, say your vows. Then pick your backdrop. Ocean on one side, mountains on the other, and the city right in the middle.
The LGBTQ community here is big and proud, and plenty of local wedding pros are LGBTQ-owned. Want a tiny elopement? A huge party? Vancouver has venues for both. Book a photographer and a gay wedding videographer who get it, and your film will look like a love letter to the whole city. Best part, nobody’s going to make you feel like a “special case.” Here, you’re just another couple getting married.
Key Benefits of Visiting and Getting Married in Vancouver, BC, Canada:
The above top 5 LGBT-friendly destination wedding locations all offer a truly unique experience for couples, but regardless of where a bride/bride or groom/groom chooses to get married, it is important that those moments and gorgeous backdrops are documented. This is why finding a gay wedding videographer who can capture the day in an artistic, cinematic fashion, regardless of where a couple gets married is important!
