MacroSnaps in Portage

Same-Sex Weddings in Portage: 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.

Portage is a community in Indiana, home to roughly 37,000 people. We cover same-sex wedding events in banquet halls, hotels, places of worship, restaurants and private homes throughout Portage and nearby Hobart and Gary.

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 Portage 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 Portage costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips

Planning your coverage in Portage

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.
