If you're planning your own gay or same-sex wedding and you're looking for a blueprint on how to make it awesome, congratulations, you've found it! Christopher & Russell's gay wedding at Pierremont Hall in Broadstairs was an incredible celebration from start to finish, and epitomised what any wedding day should be about. They were surrounded by their favourite people, they prioritised fun over everything else and they made sure their schedule wasn't jam-packed with 'stuff'. They just wanted time in the glorious Kent sunshine to celebrate with their nearest and dearest. And that's exactly what they did!


As someone who's been a wedding photographer for just over 14yrs and photographed dozens of gay, same-sex and LGBTQ weddings, this one really was special. Christopher is my barber, so I see him every 3-4 weeks for a good old natter, but it was a real honour to be asked to shoot his wedding to Russell and share this day with them.
