Hi! I’m Michelle Gunn.
I went from being engayged to being a Fresno wedding photographer.
I WAS NEVER OBSESSED WITH WEDDINGS — UNTIL I GOT ENGAYGED.
My wife & I were ecstatic to start planning our wedding. A week into it, I attended my first bridal show, and after walking through every vendor’s booth, I noticed a consistent theme: the wedding industry is very heteronormative. This wasn’t true just for the vendors at that particular wedding show, but across the board outside of that bridal show, too.
it felt as though we had to ‘come out’ to every vendor we came into contact with. It was exhausting.
So instead, we began looking for a photographer that was an open ally for the LGBTQIA+ community, someone who specialized in non-traditional families. Through this process, it dawned on me that other couples might be experiencing the same stressors, and it inspired me to shift my photography skills to focus on capturing and cherishing love of all kinds, creating an especially safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community.
It was a natural next step to be honest. My wife comes from a very blended family ( 1 of 7 with half + step siblings), and I also come from blended + chosen families.
What I know is this:
Love is love is love.
️ ✊
i believe:
That every couple, love story, & wedding are unique,
That your portraits should reflect who you are, and
That a great wedding photographer will serve you & ensure you are taken care of.
