    Hi, I’m Vivian! I am a nature lover and visual storyteller who focuses on organic moments while highlighting a sense of space and showcasing your beloved communities authentically. I began my photography journey two decades ago, assisting high-end wedding photographers before branching out on my own. What started as a job became my purpose as I fell in love with storytelling through my art. I am incredibly lucky to spend my weekends surrounded by joy, having now captured over 500 weddings from lavish celebrations at luxury hotels to quiet, intimate elopements by the sea. Photography has been my passport to travel the world, connect with so many remarkable people, and play a part in sharing their stories.

Planning a destination wedding

Same-sex couples can now legally marry in 38 countries, from Mexico (nationwide since 2022) and Taiwan to Thailand, which became the first in Southeast Asia in January 2025. That list keeps growing, but legal marriage abroad usually means foreign paperwork, translations and waiting periods.

The easiest route

Plenty of couples sign the legal papers at home, then have the ceremony that matters to them somewhere else. A symbolic wedding can happen anywhere, with no residency rules, no translations and no stress about recognition.

Choosing a safe destination

Laws and attitudes change from country to country, and sometimes within them. Check current resources like ILGA World and Equaldex and your government’s travel advice before you book, and talk to your vendors. Everyone here has been vetted to be affirming, so ask them about the local scene.

Where couples are saying yes

Our couples have married in Thailand, partied in the Tulum jungle and celebrated in Bali. Honeymoon dreaming? Start with our guide to LGBTQ+ honeymoons in Tulum.

Questions couples ask

How many countries allow same-sex marriage?

As of 2026, 38 countries have marriage equality, including Thailand, which became the first in Southeast Asia in January 2025.

Will a marriage abroad be recognized at home?

Usually, if it’s legal where it took place and your home country has marriage equality. Rules vary, so check with your home country first.

Do we need to legally marry in our destination country?

No. Many couples marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony abroad, which avoids foreign paperwork.

How do we check if a destination is safe for us?

Look at current resources like ILGA World and Equaldex, read your government’s travel advice, and ask local, affirming vendors about the reality on the ground.

Do worldwide vendors charge travel fees?

Most do. Ask each vendor what their travel fees cover, like flights, accommodation and days on location.

Details last checked October 2026. Laws change, so always check current local laws and travel advice before you book.
