humanity: hu·​man·​i·​ty | \ hyü-ˈma-nə-tē  , yü-\ The definition of humanity are the characteristics that belong uniquely to human beings, such as kindness, mercy and sympathy.

I believe that this world needs more humanity. I believe in an inclusive world where we all help each other to lead a happier life and where we strive to show our children that happiness is not a luxury but a goal that we can achieve every day of our lives by living intentionally. As such, I believe in having an inclusive business where all cultures and forms of relationships are celebrated. I am here to tell your story.

I am an inclusive photographer in love with wild stories. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community then I would love to tell your story. I believe in happiness and that we all have the right to be happy no matter where we come from or what we believe in.

Things to consider when you are styling your same-sex wedding day

While marriage and unions between different families have existed for centuries, same sex unions have only recently been recognised and made legal in Australia. Same sex unions are a great opportunity to break traditions and adapt your wedding day to your vision. Here are some things you could consider while styling and planning your day.

• Odd numbers or even numbers? Choose one and stick through it on your decorations, and through any item that are in groups on your day. Odd numbers can be used to create tension and will create something interesting to look at from a design point of view.

• Colours: they are such an important part of the styling of a wedding day. Consider complimentary colours or go for one colour and different hues. Consistency is everything, if you want your wedding day to look cohesive and harmonic, then take a decision and stick to the colours you have chosen without adding another one down the track.

• Something unexpected: add an unexpected item through your decoration or at the altar.

Things you should keep in mind if you are planning your same-sex wedding

• If you are planning a ceremony overseas make sure that you double check the legalities behind it. Same-sex unions are legal in Australia, but sadly it’s not in many other countries. Consider having a commitment ceremony overseas or at a wild location, and then sign the legal documents once you are back.

• Break with traditions! Consider keeping only those traditions that are meaningful for both of you, and make sure that you change or adapt anything that doesn’t reflect you.

• Reflect on your time together and the important moments and make sure that you add little hints of those moments throughout your day.

• Leave the bridal party at home! Break with the tradition and ditch the bridal party or swap it for a wedding team with those peeps that have been always there for you and you would like them even closer on your wedding day.
