Inclusive Wedding Photography: Farmers Image Of The Week

It’s funny how we get in our own heads as photographers. We see so much work from our peers that it becomes hard not to compare, especially in the pressurised environment of a group shoot. If you’ve ever felt the sting of imposter syndrome after scrolling your feed, you’re not alone.

That’s exactly why this image from Ruby Walker stopped me this week. She posted it a few years after taking it, admitting that at the time, she didn’t feel confident enough to share it. She’d seen what others had captured at the same workshop and convinced herself her own work didn’t measure up. But coming back to it with fresh eyes gave her the clarity to see what she had created – and to be proud of it.

And honestly? I’m glad she did. Because this image is stunning.

It’s from a workshop hosted alogside Stephanie Dreams Photography called Love For All – a queer-owned, inclusive workshop designed to centre LGBTQ+ love in all its beauty. The styling is joyful and expressive, with both grooms stepping confidently into fashion-forward, non-traditional looks. Ruby frames them in that soft evening light, side by side, bouquets in hand, holding a confident gaze to camera.

There’s something in the pose that’s both deliberate and playful. And while the styling is bold, Ruby’s composition keeps things simple. I love this fine art and soft approach in the portrait that makes it timeless in its own way.

This is what Farmers Image Of The Week is for. Not just to highlight brilliant photography, but to celebrate growth. To remind ourselves that sometimes we’re too close to our own work to see its impact. Thank you to Ruby for revisiting this and for sharing it with us. And a huge shoutout to Stephanie for creating spaces where photographers – and love stories – can truly thrive.
