Lover of love. Hater of glitter.

 Hello!

I'm Loren, pronouns they/them, the creative mind behind Fuck Yeah Weddings. With an unwavering passion for weddings and a commitment to liberating my couples from societal expectations, I am the wedding professional you need in your corner.

My experience stems from over a decade as a wedding photographer. Naturally progressing from those services, Fuck Yeah Weddings was born. After years of assisting clients with day-of schedules, vendor recommendations, managing spirited wedding parties, and soothing anxious parents, I decided to offer these services professionally to couples in need. I founded FYW in 2017 to be a catalyst for change in the wedding industry, prioritizing couples who are often underrepresented. I'm here for the LGBTQ+ community, unconventional relationships (polyamory, triads, etc.), BIPOC individuals and couples, people of all sizes, those with disabilities, and everyone who doesn't see themselves in glossy bridal magazines. It's our time to shine!

Feel free to contact me at hello@fuckyeahweddings.com to arrange an in-person meeting to discuss photography services or explore how I can ensure your wedding day flows seamlessly, from the getting-ready moments to your final steps on the dance floor.

I'M TOTALLY INTO:

  • Coffee

  • Confetti

  • Offbeat/Non-Traditional Weddings

  • Puns

  • Unlearning & working towards being Anti-Racist

  • Fat liberation

  • Queer Liberation

  • Reading

  • Overusing emojis

  • The Pacific Northwest

  • 90's grunge

  • Car karaoke

  • Cats (seriously, I have 5)

  • Profanity (no shit!)

  • Authentic celebrations of love

  • My tiny human (they are my favorite human)

  • Did I mention coffee?

  • My loving, queer, agender, polyamorous SPOUSE, Aeden

I LOVE WEDDINGS, ALL WEDDINGS. BUT I KIND OF HATE THE WEDDING INDUSTRY.

My philosophy on weddings:

If I'm going to be a part of this industry, I'm going to be a part of the change that promotes authenticity and love for everyone celebrating their marriage. I will advocate for inclusion and representation for all couples+. I will encourage language in the industry that is truly inclusive. I will ask for your pronouns and those of your partner.

You will never be just another client, and you will never just be another transaction. I am here for YOU, to ensure you get what you need on this momentous day in your lives. This day should be unlike any other; you should be present and as joyful as you can imagine. It's not about the cake, the photos, or the perfection of decorations.

It's about YOU as a couple, pledging in front of friends and family your intentions for the rest of your lives together.

Fuck Yeah Weddings is a queer non-binary owned, feminist venture. Intersectional feminism is at the core of what I do. What does that mean in the wedding industry? I will help you critically examine your wedding in the best way possible. Feel uneasy about the garter toss? Don't want to be "given" to your future spouse? Leave it out of YOUR day. There's nothing you have to include, nothing you "should" do, except create a day that celebrates the love you share with your partner. We will discuss everything from the accessibility of your venue to the environmental impact of the wedding industry, along with any other personal values you hold as a couple that you want reflected in how you celebrate your union as spouses.

ANY BUSINESS THAT WE RECOMMEND AND PARTNER WITH ALSO HOLDS THESE VALUES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT IT MIGHT BE THEIR THIRD WEDDING THAT WEEKEND AS A VENDOR BUT THIS IS A DAY UNLIKE ANY OTHER IN YOUR LIFE.
