In my work and private life, I actively live Humanist values by:

• Engaging in dialogue and debate rationally, intelligently, and with attention to evidence;
• Recognising the dignity of individuals and treating them with fairness and respect;
• Respecting and promoting freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law;
• Cooperating with others for the common good, including with those of different beliefs;
• Celebrating human achievement, progress, and potential.

I strive to embody the values I share with LGBTQ Weddings, namely:

• To strive not to assume a person’s sex/gender or sexual orientation based on their appearance or otherwise;
• To listen to and respect every person’s instruction as to how they’d like to be addressed/referred.
• To share our insight and knowledge with others, where possible, and where appropriate;

• To endeavour to encourage the representation of all groups when contributing to styled shoots, especially underrepresented groups;
• To strive to continue to educate ourselves on equality generally;
• To be kind and supportive to our colleagues and peers if unintentional mistakes are made in relation to inclusive language;
• To act with honesty and integrity at all times; and
• To help build a community who are united in making the wedding industry, and the world, a more inclusive place.

Inclusive Communication

I am happy to communicate with people in a variety of ways, and explain anything which is confusing or unclear.
