MacroSnaps in Los Angeles
Same-Sex Weddings in Los Angeles: photography & video
Your wedding should be photographed the way you want to remember it, without anyone assuming who walks down the aisle, who gets ready where or who wears what. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover same-sex and LGBTQ+ weddings of every size, from courthouse ceremonies and elopements to large receptions, and we start by asking how you see the day rather than handing you a template.
Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 4 million people. Whether your same-sex wedding is at The Getty Center, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules.
Some couples walk in together, some have two processionals, and some skip the aisle entirely. Some want a first look, others want to see each other at the ceremony. We follow your plan, use the names and pronouns you give us, and pose you in ways that feel natural for both of you, whether that means matching heights, different styles of dress or simply giving you space to be yourselves. Chosen family is family, and we will make sure the people who matter to you are in the photos.
For a typical same-sex wedding, clients in Los Angeles book about 6 hours of photography ($750) and 5 hours of videography ($1,100). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Los Angeles costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Los Angeles
Tell us how you see the day
Share names, pronouns and anything you would like us to know about your families, your outfits and your ceremony. We will follow your lead without assuming roles.
Decide how you will arrive
Two processionals, walking in together or a first look each change where the photographer and videographer stand. Let us know in advance so both of you are covered equally.
Book the hours that match your plan
A courthouse ceremony with portraits is often covered in 2 hours, while a ceremony and full reception usually needs 6 to 8. You only pay for the hours you book.
Add a second shooter when you get ready apart
If you prepare in different rooms or locations, a second photographer or videographer makes sure both of you get the same attention.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
