Earlier this week, San Rafael, California, photography team urloved made headlines after declining to photograph a same-sex couple's wedding. The would-be clients posted their experience on the company's Facebook page, massive backlash from the community followed, and urloved decided to go out of business altogether.

In a statement on its website, the husband-and-wife team wrote, in part: "It is not photographing a couple who have different personal beliefs that we have difficulty with. We genuinely felt referring this couple to a photographer who does share their personal beliefs would provide them with the best service for their special day. We wanted to connect them with someone who did share their personal beliefs so that they could give them the service quality they deserve."

The couple did not return requests for comment from The Huffington Post.

Sounds to us like they're missing out. So many same-sex couples, after all, have relationships that have weathered the roughest of storms, and their weddings often follow years-long fights for the government to recognize their relationships.

We asked other wedding photographers to share their favorite memories of shooting same-sex marriages. Check out the happy couples and stories, below.

Jack and Ryan



"[They were] are so supportive of each other's dreams and passions and just super fun and awesome to be around," photographer Dana Hargitay said of grooms Jack and Ryan.

Eva and Lara



"I had been wanting to photograph same-sex weddings for years and was so thrilled when Prop 8 was struck down," photographer Mary McHenry said of her experience before shooting brides Eva and Lara. "Two people who love each other and want to make a life together should only be celebrated and supported. It's as simple as that. One moment from the wedding that stood out was when one Lara's father raised his glass and said how happy he is that we live in a time when his daughter can marry the person who she loves."
