Our Approach: Beyond the Binary
Representation Matters
Safety, Joy, and Affirmation
We don’t follow outdated “bride and groom” templates. Instead, we focus on your unique connection, your chosen family, and your vision for the day. Whether you want playful, candid, or editorial images, your story leads the way
When you see yourself reflected in your photographer’s portfolio, you know your love will be documented with compassion and artistry. We believe every couple, gay, lesbian, non-binary, trans, queer, and allied, deserves to be celebrated authentically.
Your comfort is our top priority. We use gender-neutral language, respect your pronouns, and create a space where you can be fully yourself, no assumptions, no stereotypes, just love.
At Stills by Hernan | Stills the Studio, we offer a full spectrum of inclusive wedding photography services for LGBTQIA+, same-sex, gay, lesbian, and non-binary couples in Tampa, St. Pete, and across Florida. Every service is delivered with compassion, artistry, and a deep respect for your story.
