4 SIGNS YOU NEED A BRIDAL SHOOT WITH ME BEFORE YOUR WEDDING
You’re about to start a whole new chapter.
Marriage. Intimacy. Being loved by someone who gets to see all of you.
What if, instead of entering married life worrying about your stomach, thighs, skin or cellulite…
…you entered it feeling at home in your body?
1. YOU CAN’T LOOK AT YOUR NAKED BODY WITHOUT SHAME OR DISAPPOINTMENT.
THE FIX ➡️ Learn to see yourself differently.
Light, angles and posture can dramatically change what you see.
Harsh light can emphasise shadows and texture. A mirror angle changes your reflection. And standing straight-on gives you just one view of a body that exists in 360°.
Move. Change the light. Change your posture. Make shapes.
Your body isn’t a static image.
2. YOU DON’T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH THE LIGHTS ON.
Because you’re thinking about your cellulite, tummy, skin or the bits that “crinkle”.
THE FIX ➡️ Come back into your body.
Try eye contact. Focus on sensation. Let yourself be present. Let yourself be seen.
If harsh lighting makes you self-conscious, change it. Try softer light or candlelight.
Married life is about experiencing your body, not constantly evaluating it.
3. YOU APOLOGISE FOR YOUR BODY.
“Sorry about my stomach.”
“I wish I’d lost more weight.”
“I hate the way I look in this.”
I hear brides say these things all the time.
THE FIX ➡️ Stop apologising for the body you have today.
I’ve photographed women with every kind of body shape, size, curve and skin texture.
The story you’ve created about your body can be completely different from what someone else actually sees.
“This part of me is awful” is a thought.
And thoughts can change.
4. YOU SAY “I HATE MY…”
“My stomach. My thighs. My arms. My skin.”
THE FIX ➡️ Listen to the way you speak to yourself.
You don’t have to suddenly believe your body is perfect.
Start with kindness:
“This is my body. It carries me through my life. It allows me to love, laugh, dance, experience pleasure and live. I’m grateful for it.”
Don’t change your body. Change the way you see it.
