Marriage Equality comes to Pennsylvania!

Personal

This isn’t politics; this is love.

Anyone who knows me or my business knows that LGBT rights has been a top issue for me for years. I am a proud supporter of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and simply believe that two consenting adults should be given the equal protections and rights under the law whether they’re gay, lesbian, straight, transgender, black, white, or purple. Love is love.

I was living and mourning in San Francisco in 2008 when Prop 8 was passed and cheered its rightful unconstitutionality in 2010.  I celebrated the end of DOMA last year.

Today I cheer again. This time for my home state of Pennsylvania that ruled in favor of marriage equality and has struck down the same-sex ban! I will refrain from commenting that this should have happened a long time ago and just say:

You are on the right side of history and you have made me one very, very proud Pennsylvanian today!

Same sex couples who book with me for their 2014 or 2015 weddings within the next month (or already have booked for this year and next), will be showered with much love and an extra little gift from me to you. Give me a call at 215-703-7717 or email me at Lindsay@lindsaydocherty.com to go over your wedding plans!

Much love,
Lindsay

In Texas Getting Schooled
I'm going to be M.I.A. for the next few days. I'll be in San Antonio, Texas for a photography convention. I'll be spending my days steeped in educational workshops, industry discussions, kick ass shoot-outs, an overwhelming expo, and generally getting my photo on!I thrive on learning and get so psyched for the yearly convention. Remember that nerdy kid who loved taking notes and using her highlighters? Yeah, that was me. I'm thrilled for the hands-on fun and classroom lessons.If you're another photographer attending either the DWF Convention or Imaging USA and want to meet up for coffee of drinks, just let me know!Because of this, I can' ...

RARE Behind the Scenes Pictures of Clinton and Trump
Considering the Republican Party candidate is a reality TV star and the Democratic candidate has been in the public eye for decades, it’s remarkable how little we know about who they really are.  That’s why it was so gratifying that Lindsay Docherty Photography was granted special access to the candidates while they did something unusual – spent the morning together.  Scroll down to see how well red and blue played with one another. The action between the camera takes is where the punches are thrown.  Trump berated Clinton for being a “Liar, liar, pants on fire!!” and insisted that he would put her in time out if elected.  Clinton held her ...
