As a gay man who Civil Unioned his partner of 25+ years back in July of 2000
here in Vermont and also an amateur photographer I have done many, many weddings but have never been asked to do a Civil Union or commitment ceremony. My partner and I would have loved to be able to have the shots like those posted on this thread, but alas no one really wanted to do the photography. The dates were all booked, interesting that the fifth of July was a Wednesday, anyway all we got were 8 photos from the JP's daughter who used our SLR and it was the first time she had ever used one. She did well. The JP was fantastic, it took all of 15 minutes.
Just some thoughts, if you're not comfortable with a same sex ceremony don't do it. Questioning who is the pitcher and who is the catcher is none of anyones business. & most of my male friends and all of my women friends that I have spoken to find that an offensive remark even in jest in a public thread. If you have met the couple and talked about the whole thing openly and honestly and you're doing the wedding both parties should be comfortable with each other. If you do the wedding and provide fantastic photos like you have shown in this thread, more than likely you will get referrals. It's simple, the couple believes in your work or what they think of how you present yourself. The money is there if your work proves itself. Don't bring anything but your talent and good nature to the ceremony. This is not being written to start a flame war it's just some thoughts from what I have gleaned from this thread. I you can see, I published some unedits from the Wedding, I have no problem with gay weddings. My questions was about posing. thanks for the advice, you should redo a little ceremony for you 10 year reunion celebration, and if you are in Orlando let me know!
