Martina Lanotte
she/her
Wedding photographer based in Copenhagen. Writes on LGBTQ+ weddings for Getting Married in Denmark.
Photographing weddings since 2016 · hundreds of ceremonies, the large majority for queer couples · working in Italian and English, with some Spanish and Japanese
Martina holds a Master's degree in Linguistics. Her work covers both the photographs and the words: how couples are shown, and how they are described and addressed.
What Martina can vouch for
- LGBTQ+ weddings: the large majority of the ceremonies she has photographed since 2016 were for queer couples.
- Wedding photography: documentary wedding photography, in Copenhagen and across Denmark.
- Representation: how queer couples are shown, and not shown, in wedding imagery. The subject of her book and her talks.
- Inclusive language: the words a wedding business uses for the couples it serves, with a Master's degree in Linguistics behind them.
