Vegan Wedding Photography

If you are going to have a vegan wedding the main thing you want (besides me as your photographer) is really great food. Almost all vegan weddings will have omnivorous wedding guests, many of whom might be skeptical about vegan food. This is a great chance to show them that vegan meals can be every bit as delicious as ones with animal products in them. I think this is some of the best type of activism you can do for the animals. People are very emotionally connected to food, and weddings are very emotional times. What you serve will be remembered more than most wedding meals, because it is different. You want those memories to be good ones.

While we are on the subject of food, don't forget the wedding cake. There is so much great vegan baking going on all over the place these days, thanks to great cookbook authors like Sarah Kramer, Isa Moskowitz and Hannah Kaminski.

You can also think outside the box. Many couples are choosing to have alternate desserts at their weddings. Chocolate fountains, tables full of cupcakes, pies, cheesecakes, tarts, cookies and other delicacies. There are lots of great raw food desserts too, as uncookbooks by Ani Phyo and multiple vegan blogs will attest.

Veganism is about more than food, of course. It is good to think about ways to reduce the waste that is typically involved in weddings. The wedding ceremony is at its heart a spiritual ritual and honoring the earth by being conscious of your consumption will enhance the good feelings had by all.
