Inclusive Wedding Photography in Devon: Why Your Love Story Deserves to Be Seen
Why Inclusivity Isn’t Optional at Blotted Ink Photography — It’s Essential
When I launched Blotted Ink Photography, I knew exactly what kind of wedding photographer I wanted to be: the kind who shows up with colour, joy, energy, and zero assumptions about who you love, how you identify, or how your wedding “should” look.
As a bisexual woman with a beautifully queer circle of friends, I’ve seen the full spectrum of wedding experiences—from the euphoric “we felt completely seen” to the heartbreaking “they kept asking which one of us was the groom.”
And honestly? That gap is shrinking, but it still exists. And it’s one I refuse to widen.
Inclusivity isn’t a marketing angle. It’s a lived value.
I’m not interested in sticking a token queer couple on my website once a year so I can pat myself on the back. Diversity isn’t a checkbox. It’s a commitment to a wedding industry where every couple feels celebrated—not tolerated, not tip-toed around, not squeezed into traditions that don’t fit.
That’s why my approach is intentional from the ground up:
✨ 1. Non-gendered forms, contracts, and language
There’s no “bride and groom” section. No “Mr & Mrs.” No assumptions.
Instead, you’ll find:
“Partner 1” and “Partner 2”
Pronoun options
And space for you to tell me how you want to be referred to
It seems simple, but this tiny shift can make someone feel instantly safer, instantly welcome.
✨ 2. Celebrating love without stereotypes
Your dynamic is yours. If your relationship doesn’t look like the Pinterest-perfect hetero mould, good. Mine doesn’t either.
I photograph:
Couples who choose not to gender their roles
Couples who embrace tradition
Couples who create their own
Couples who say “we don’t know what we’re doing but we’re in love so let’s wing it”
Your love story leads. Not society’s script.
✨ 3. Showcasing diversity with intention—not to showboat
My portfolio reflects the real couples who trust me. My goal isn’t to parade diversity—it’s to normalise it. That means photographing LGBTQIA+ couples, interracial couples, disabled couples, neurodivergent couples, couples of all body types, tattooed couples—everyone—in the same vibrant, joyful, colourful style that defines Blotted Ink.
No special treatment. No “diversity” folder.
Just authentic stories told with the same enthusiasm, artistry, and energy I bring to every wedding.
✨ 4. Creating a safe, relaxed, joy-filled space
Your wedding day is not the time to worry about judgment.
With me, you can:
hold your partner however feels natural
be affectionate without self-consciousness
show up fully as yourselves
trust that I’m here to celebrate you, not to police your love
I’m here to advocate for you—to quietly, confidently ensure your day feels as safe as it is magical.
Because inclusivity isn’t just the right thing. It’s personal.
I’m part of this community. My friends are part of this community. My family. My clients. My world is shaped and coloured by queer joy, queer resilience, queer love.
So when I talk about inclusive wedding photography, it’s not from the outside looking in.
It’s from lived experience.
I want the wedding industry to keep evolving, and I want to be an active part of that shift—one colourful, candid, joy-filled wedding at a time.
A final note: Your love is welcome here. Always.
Whether your wedding is loud or tender, traditional or eccentric, rainbow-filled or monochrome, I’m here to capture it in all its real, vibrant, unapologetic glory.
No assumptions. No judgment.
Just your love—exactly as it is.
