Here at Angie Capri Photography, we have been loud and proud about being inclusive and LGBTQ friendly. We don’t discriminate!! We believe in documenting weddings and other important events without prejudice because we simply believe in love (damn it!!)…
Shockingly AND unfortunately, LGBTQ couples do still run into challenges (yes, even in the San Francisco Bay Area of all places – I know, it’s crazy) while searching for wedding vendors and venues who are LGBTQ friendly, and those who continually offer a warm, welcoming, fun and friendly experience.
This is why we’re compiling a list for our clients to make the wedding planning process as easy and as painless as possible (so they don’t feel like they need to “come out” to every vendor at every inquiry) while also giving these LGBTQ Friendly businesses the opportunity to identify themselves so that we can all support inclusive collaborators and partners!!
How to submit: E-mail us the following information by October 1, 2015 (of course we’ll continue to grow our list, so it’s never too late to submit. Once we have a substantial amount of new additions and as our schedule allows, we will gladly send an updated list to all participants):
- Name of venue/vendor:
- Name of best contact person:
- Best contact information (website, address, phone, e-mail):
(Specifically vendors and venues in San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino County, Palo Alto, Los Gatos and in general across California: Monterey, Lake Tahoe, Los Angeles, San Diego)
