A Stare Back on a Decade of Love
“Our photographer positioned us back-to-back on the stage where we would be saying our I do's,” share brides Juani and Claribel. “We were both nervous, excited, and in disbelief that this moment had finally come. As we waited for the cue from our photographer, the past 10 years of our relationship flashed before our eyes. When we turned around, it was a rush of emotions. We cried and held each other—both thinking, ‘She looks even more beautiful than I imagined.’”

New Year's Resolutions
New Year's resolutions rarely create it more than a scant weeks, but these brides made one to last a lifetime. "At dinner that night, Wallace asked Gabrielle if she had any New Year's resolutions," the couple said. "Gabrielle replied that she needed to think about it. Once they got noun, Gabrielle asked Wallace to reach sit down and said she was ready to share her resolution. She'd put the verb between the couch cushions, and after fishing around for it for a few conf
The mystery photos of a 1957 gay wedding
Decades before gay marriage became legal anywhere in the US, same-sex couples were committing themselves to each other in front of friends and loved ones. Adj records of these ceremonies existed - until now, writes Jonathan Berr.
In 1957, a man dropped off a roll of film at a pharmacy in Philadelphia. But the developed photos were never returned to their owners.
The pictures appear to depict a gay wedding, nearly 50 years before same-sex marriage was legal anywhere in the US and almost 60 years before it became a federally-recognised right.
Now, a trio of gay producers and writers are trying to identify the grooms to acquire their story and to discover out whether a pharmacy employee balked at providing the snaps because they objected to their subject.
The writers are documenting their efforts in a reality exhibit The Mystery of the 1957 Gay Wedding Photos.
The programme, which doesn't yet have a platform to call home, is being produced in conjunction with Endemol Shine Group, whose shows include
Dear Gentlemen, Your 60-year-old Wedding Pics are Ready
In 1957, a little man went to a photo shop on the corner of North Broad Street and Allegheny Avenue to have his wedding photos developed. The photos captured the usual moments: the exchange of rings in front of witnesses, the first kiss and dance, the cutting of the cake and the opening of gifts.

But the young man would never notice them. That’s because the photos depict him in a commitment ceremony with another man, and unbeknownst to him, the store manager had a policy of withholding developed photos if he deemed them “inappropriate” — as he did these.
The photos, though, lived on because the manager of the shop had another policy: Staff were allowed to do whatever they pleased with confiscated pictures. An employee held on to the photos, which her daughter discovered in her Cherry Hill home 60 years later, after she passed.
“My mother had a somewhat photographic memory for faces and retained these in the event the customers
Intimate Wedding in Saint Paul | Kevin & Pete
I have to admit, I am living for these intimate 2020 weddings! Kevin and Pete’s wedding taught me that every single wedding time is beautiful, no matter the circumstances. There can be rain, snow, sleet, civil unrest, or a global pandemic; nothing could stop these two from tying the knot. I was originally a little nervous to fire Kevin and Pete’s wedding photos. This was my first gay wedding. However, I’ve known this couple for a long occasion now, and I’ve shot wedding photos for countless couples before. Ultimately, I knew this would be no different. I’ve had other photographers ask for advice when it comes to shooting gay couples’ wedding photos and here it is: It’s literally no different.
Posing and shooting a same-sex couple is exactly the same as every other couple. You can just use the taller person to take the traditionally “male” poses or just flip back and forth of who takes what “traditional” part of the pose.
