The first guide to posing and photographing same-sex couples on their big day, The New Art of Capturing Love equips semi-pro and professional wedding photographers to enter the LGBT wedding photography market.
Capturing memorable portraits of LGBTQ couples requires a novel approach to posing, which, until recently, has been almost exclusively oriented toward pairing a taller man in black with a smaller woman in white.
What works for Jack and Jill won’t necessarily work for Jack and Michael, let alone Jill and Louise.
The New Art of Capturing Love shatters the “old standards” of wedding and engagement photography by showing how inappropriate they can be for today’s diverse couples. The authors, Thea Dodds of Authentic Eye Photography and Kathryn Hamm of GayWeddings) share easy-to-implement poses and techniques that can be applied to any couple (and wedding party), no matter their orientations, to create lasting memories.
Featuring a collection of more than 180 same-sex portraits of 72 couples from 48 photographers, this guide is proudly the first—and most comprehensive—of its kind. Whether you are a wedding photographer looking to enter this burgeoning market, or a gay or lesbian couple looking for visual inspiration, these gorgeous images will both instruct and inspire.
