We have so much to celebrate!
First and foremost, we take pride in Rivets and Roses providing a safe place for the LGBTQIA+ community over the last 15 years. Our mission has always been rooted in equality and love for all couples - we were even the first studio to openly have an LGBTQIA+ wedding published in the Midwest pre-legalization!
It’s been inspiring to see love being celebrated year in and year out - and the impact that our photographer’s work has made along the way. Our wedding photography studio has truly retained remarkable talent among our photographers, allowing them to grow and flourish as artists while supporting all of our couples. It’s truly gratifying to witness the success of former interns, assistants, and team photographers who have embarked on successful careers in the photography industry.
By selecting an LGBTQIA+ wedding photography studio, couples help increase the visibility and representation of LGBTQIA+ relationships within the wedding industry. Over the years, our supporters have embraced diversity, inspiring others to choose inclusive wedding options like Rivets and Roses. This collective effort not only celebrates love in all its forms but also fosters a more inclusive and accepting environment for future generations.
We will continue to work to make the wedding industry a more inclusive place for all couples!
It has been - and continues to be - our pleasure to document the biggest day of your lives!
- Owner, Eliesa Johnson
