How I cater to offbeat weddings
David Haguewood Photography
For the Misfits, Magic-Makers, and Myth-Loving Queerdos
You: planning a wedding that doesn’t fit in a box.
Me: a wedding photographer who sets fire to the box and turns the ashes into a zine.
I’m David (he/him), a California-based wedding and elopement photographer who specializes in candid, documentary-style photography for folks who live outside the norm—and damn proud of it. Whether you’re having a pagan handfasting in the redwoods, a poly vow ceremony in a goth club, or a D&D-themed elopement complete with cloaks and character sheets—I’m in.
I shoot for the queers, the nerds, the punks, the witches, the disabled babes, the neurospicy sweethearts, the fantasy fans, the kink-friendly cuddle puddles, and anyone who’s ever been told they’re “too much” for a wedding photographer.
Guess what? You’re not too much. You’re perfect.
And your love story deserves to be captured honestly, emotionally, and without a single ounce of judgment.
What Makes Me Different?
-
I’m not just “okay with” non-traditional weddings—I live them. I’m a demi, goth, geek-loving weirdo who built this business for people like me.
-
I create a safe, inclusive, emotionally intelligent space for you to just be. No fake smiles. No gender-role nonsense. No weird energy.
-
My style is raw, real, and beautifully unposed. I capture the moments between the moments—the look, the breath, the hand squeeze.
-
Rituals, costumes, altars, accessibility needs, neurodivergent-friendly plans? YES. Tell me everything.
Who I Work With
-
LGBTQIA+ couples
-
Polyamorous and non-monogamous families

Disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill folks
-

Where I Work
I’m based in California’s Inland Empire, and travel for love stories worth telling. Whether your wedding’s in the forest, at the ren faire, deep in the desert, or on a mountaintop at sunset—I’ll meet you there.
