About Boogie Lights Creative Photography

Years in the industry:

1-3 years

Boogie Lights Creative Photography was founded out of my own frustration while planning my Queer wedding. My wife and I went to a wedding convention upon our engagement. We were asked “Who is the lucky bride?!” about 50 times in two hours. It was exhausting. I started my photography business on our honeymoon, deciding to intentionally serve our community.


I want Queer couples to feel their unique experience valued in the wedding industry. With Boogie Lights, there are no assumptions of gender roles within your relationship. My work is rooted in queerness which contains multitudes. I want to get to know what feels right to you. Not what feels right to the wedding industrial complex. Documenting queer love & joy in its variety and beauty is the entire purpose of Boogie Lights.


I operate more in prompts than poses. Prompts show an authentic, joyful version of you in photos. When you look back on these photos, I want you to feel the love between you and your guests all over again. Most importantly, I want you to see how much fun you had.


In addition to weddings, I shoot events, performances and portraits within the Queer community. I utilize various lenses, filters and camera techniques in digital and film to make your event’s documentation as iconic as you. I also love to get creative in post by offering layered portraits. My editing style leans vintage, creating memories to last. I am also an ordained minister for LGBTQ+ micro-weddings & elopements!

What does queer-affirming mean to my business?

Pricing and packages

Representing Queer Love and Joy in all its beauty and variety is my top priority. It is what Boogie Lights was built on. A queer affirming business not only accepts LGBTQ people, it centers them. Boogie Lights is Queer centered, Queer affirming; not just a Queer friendly business. A Queer affirming business makes no assumptions about gender or sexuality when interacting with clients from start to finish in their process. A Queer affirming business puts the client at ease, knowing that their needs will be taken care of, not cookie cut into the tropes of the wedding industry. From their website, their questionnaire, their language, posing, prompting, interactions with family, friends, chosen family and other vendors, a Queer affirming business is thoughtful and aware of the needs of the client. Not as a rainbow monolith but as people who experience the world in their own uniqueness within the Queer community.
