It’s been one year since the SCOTUS decision that legalized same-sex marriage…
As the first anniversary of the SCOTUS decision that legalized same-sex marriage rolls around, we remember that the continued perseverance of these communities are making a difference. Is it still mind-blowingly slow and frustrating and hard? Hell yes. But as Lin Manuel Miranda so heart-wrenchingly uttered at The Tonys, “love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside.” This anniversary, marked with the pain of the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history (which targeted the LGBT and people of color communities), has to remind us to keep fighting. Let’s take a look back at some of our coverage of the various legal decisions and a few of our own favorite LGBT weddings we’ve featured.
Behold the vintage-chic decor at this industrial garden party wedding
Vanessa and Octavia had their industrial garden party wedding at the super industrial-chic venue, Tap Architecture in Oklahoma City. Vanessa wore a stunning Mexican-inspired wedding gown (a nod to her heritage) complete with flowers in her hair and a wildflower bouquet put together by friends. Octavia wore a short contemporart dress and a giant flower fascinator that we LOVED. Don’t miss the crafty vintage decor!
Stop posing and start cuddling with an intimate photo session
When it comes to non-wedding couples’ photo sessions, we’ve already seen rad engagement sessions, trash-the-dress shoots, and amazing, body=posi boudoir shoots. But we are loving the concept of an intimate photo session with the two of you and your chosen photographer. There’s just something so sweet and vulnerable in these shots. If you have the option of getting a separate session with your wedding photographer, an intimate photo session like this just might be a great choice.
A Tropical meets Bollywood gay wedding on a yacht that will make your day

Don’t miss the custom cake topper that had Swarovski crystals and their two cute pooches.
