69: Creating Safe Spaces: The Real Talk on Queer Weddings
In this episode of The Accidental CEO, Nata Salvatori sits down with Celeste Burns, a queer wedding photographer committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces for all couples. They unpack what most wedding vendors get wrong about working with LGBTQ+ clients—and how to fix it. From the language we use on our forms to the assumptions we carry into photoshoots, this conversation is a must-listen for any vendor who wants to do better.
Celeste shares her journey from photography student in New York to running a thriving business rooted in inclusivity and authenticity. You’ll hear real stories, client experiences, and practical tips to make your business truly welcoming. And spoiler alert: it's not about slapping a rainbow on your logo during Pride Month. It's about doing the real work, year-round.
Takeaways:
- Don’t assume gender roles—ask about pronouns and dynamics.
- Show diverse, real couples in your marketing.
- Understand that "coming out" isn't a one-time thing—vendors can make it easier.
- Educate yourself and others; build community, not just client lists.
Listen in and find out how you can be the kind of vendor that LGBTQ+ couples don’t just tolerate—but trust.
