    Hi there, I’m Que! I’m a nonbinary photographer based out of AR. My journey into this world starts with a younger version of myself whose imagination was too big to contain. I wrote stories and drew pictures about dragons, friendships, exploring. As I aged, my writing shifted from an innocent imagination to figuring out how to cope with lessons on “growing up.” A gracious space to let my thoughts and feelings roam free, without judgement.

Getting married in Kentucky

Same-sex couples have married in Kentucky since 2015. In November 2025, the Supreme Court declined to hear former Rowan County clerk Kim Davis’s attempt to revisit marriage equality, so your right to marry here is secure.

The legal bit

Apply at a county clerk. There’s no waiting period, and your license is valid for 30 days, counting the day it’s issued, anywhere in Kentucky. At least two witnesses must be present at your ceremony.
