Your wedding day is a celebration of love, joy, and the unique bond you share with your partner. As you prepare to walk down the aisle and say “I do,” it’s essential to feel confident, empowered, and beautiful in your own skin. Unfortunately, traditional beauty standards in the wedding industry often fail to reflect the diversity of body types, leaving many plus-size brides and grooms feeling overlooked or misrepresented.

As a passionate advocate for body positivity and inclusivity, I specialize in plus-size posing and plus-size wedding photography. In this blog post, I’ll explore the importance of celebrating every body, share my approach to plus-size posing, and highlight the beauty and diversity of plus-size weddings, as well as convincing you of why I’m the perfect choice for your wedding.

1. My passion for wedding photography

At the heart of my photography journey lies a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. From the tender exchange of vows to the exuberant celebrations on the dance floor, I approach every wedding with genuine enthusiasm and dedication. I do all sorts of specialities and niches within the photography world but Weddings truly hold a special place in my heart. With weddingsd I get time to pay special attention to your photos and make sure I can capture the essence of your special day in a way that you would love all while adding my own creative flair. To this day I still get excited when I have a wedding coming up. I think about all the spots at the venue that’ll be best for photos, what the theme and colors are gonna look like, how beautiful the bride is gonna be, and so much more. I get to pour my heart and soul into each wedding and maybe even have some time to dance with the bride and groom while getting their photos at the reception. If someone doesn’t love this profession, I truly believe they shouldn’t be here and I can assure you that I think getting to follow my passion as a life-long fulfilling career is one of the most special opportunities that I couldn’t be more grateful for. My love for photography ensures that every shot is infused with emotion and authenticity, creating a timeless record of your special day.

2.I have over 30 years of experience and am an award-winning extensively published photographeR

With years of experience in wedding photography, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every event. I’ve had the privilege of documenting weddings of all sizes and styles, from intimate elopements to grand celebrations. This breadth of experience has honed my skills in navigating diverse settings, lighting conditions, and cultural traditions, ensuring that I can adapt seamlessly to any situation. I have had a camera in my hands my whole life but have been working as a professional photographer for over 30 years. I’ve always had a passion for photography and want to share that passion with all of you. Experience and expertise are important factors to keep in mind when considering who to trust with your wedding memories and I can guarantee they’ll be safe with me. 

3.I’m a Curvy girl Advocate!

Being overweight for the majority of your life gives you a unique perspective on a world so hyper-focused on beauty standards. Trust me, I’ve seen and gone through it all. After endless dieting and exercise yo-yoing (which I have a blog on that you should visit) https://squareeyephoto.com/my-weightloss-journey-through-yo-yo-dieting-and-finally-bariatric-surgery/ I can truly say I know what it’s like to be a bigger girl in this society. I recently got gastric bypass surgery and even now I’m considering Ozempic. It is an endless struggle and one I’ve had to endure my entire life in a profession known for unhealthy relationships with food and where women crash diet to “look skinnier” for their weddings. I, on the other hand, understand the desire to look your best but the reality is we don’t all look like stick-thin models. I’m here to advocate for my fellow plus-sized brides, curvy brides, and full-figured brides. Confidence is the most beautiful accessory anyone can wear, and I believe in empowering my clients to embrace their authenticity and shine from within. Through positive reinforcement, gentle guidance, and genuine encouragement, I create a supportive environment where my clients feel free to express themselves authentically and confidently. Diversity is what makes our world vibrant and beautiful, and I’m passionate about celebrating the rich tapestry of human experience in all its forms. Whether my clients are petite, plus-size, or anywhere in between, I strive to capture the essence of who they are and the love they share with their partner, celebrating their unique beauty and individuality every step of the way. In a world that often prioritizes perfection over authenticity, it’s essential to challenge conventional beauty standards and celebrate the beauty of every body. As a photographer specializing in plus-size posing and plus-size wedding photography, I’m committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where clients of all sizes can feel seen, valued, and celebrated.

4.I’m a Photoshop Magician

If you want little to no retouching or if you want an entire transformation I can do it all so you can trust that however you want the world to see you for your special day is safe in my hands. I have dedicated years of my craft to plus-size posing and what poses look most flattering on plus sized-brides. YEARS! People commend me for my “magical photoshop skills” and I specialize in making my curvy girls feel proud, confident, and happy with their photos. If you want a more in-depth look at what I offer in terms of photoshopping and retouching check out my blog : https://squareeyephoto.com/what-your-wedding-photographer-should-be-doing-for-you-photoshopping-retouching/

5. My Unique style and vision

I believe that great photography goes beyond simply capturing images—it’s about creating art that evokes emotion and captivates the viewer. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of love and human connection, I strive to infuse creativity and innovation into every photo I take. Whether it’s experimenting with unique angles, incorporating dramatic lighting, or embracing unconventional perspectives, I’m constantly pushing the boundaries to deliver breathtaking results. My niche is posing full-figured and plus sized brides and not a lot of people can say this is their main goal in wedding photography. A lot of women struggle with feeling comfortable in front of the camera and it is my main goal to make them feel their best on such a special day. 

6. Meticulous Attention To Detail

From the delicate lace on the bride’s gown to the fleeting glances between the newlyweds, I understand the importance of capturing the smallest details that make your wedding day unique. With a keen eye for composition and aesthetics, I meticulously frame each shot to highlight the beauty and significance of these subtle moments. It’s these meticulous details that add depth and richness to your wedding photos, allowing you to relive every nuance of the day. I don’t want to miss a single detail of your wedding. If you want a photo with you and your grandma who’s getting older I make sure we get that photo. If you want your letter to your future-husband photographed I will ensure that you receive those photos. If you have a veil or a headpiece those details will all be included so you won’t look back and think “aww I wish I had a picture of ___”. You will never have to experience that feeling with me. 

7. My Adaptive and go-with-the-flow approach

Almost every single wedding runs behind schedule, and that’s ok! Yes, I love organization but I know huge days like this don’t alway go according to plan. Things go wrong, things come up, situation need to be dealt with, and I’m there in the trenches for all of it. Do you need someone to put on all the guys’ corsages? Do you need help bustling your dress because no one knows how to do it? I’m your girl. Not only am I an amazing photographer but at this point I know all things wedding. I can sew buttons that have flown off and pin in hair that is coming loose. Your wedding planner’s job is to stress about the timeline of the day, mine is to get as many photos as I can and make you and your loved one be as relaxed as possible. If we miss sunset, I have flash and we’ll survive. No two weddings are alike, and I understand the importance of tailoring my approach to suit your unique vision and preferences. Whether you’re planning a traditional church ceremony, a rustic outdoor wedding, or a modern urban affair, I have the flexibility and versatility to adapt to any setting or style. My goal is to capture the essence of your wedding day in a way that feels authentic and true to your personality as a couple.

8. I have a deep understanding of creating balance and proportion

By experimenting with different angles, poses, and perspectives, I aim to create visually pleasing compositions that accentuate my clients’ best features while maintaining balance and proportion. This may involve adjusting body positioning, experimenting with lighting, or incorporating props and scenery to enhance the overall aesthetic. Throughout the numerous years of doing photography as my profession I can say I have achieved mastery at perfecting posing for my plus sized guys and gals. I even have full vlogs and videos on my YouTube channel on just this topic: https://squareeyephoto.com/posing-for-full-figured-and-plus-size-brides/ . I pride myself on being an educator in regards to curvy and plus sized posing and aim to have people feeling thier best when they look back at their beautiful photos.

9. Communication and planning skills

If you ever have any questions or worries I am only a text or phone call away. I have clients call me at 9 pm and I will answer because I think of my job as being on-call for most of the time (Unless I’m at Disneyland and miss your call hahaha). I want my brides to feel reassured that they made the right choice in trusting me with something as special as their wedding photography. Most of the time I will set up a call with you before the wedding so we can solidify the timeline of the day and any last minute changes that may have been made. If you have any questions, worries, or concerns I will be here for you and want YOU to feel comfortable because you are my priority. 

10. My High Standards of excellence

Excellence is not just a goal—it’s a standard that I strive to uphold in every aspect of my work. Whether I’m capturing candid moments, orchestrating formal portraits, or editing your photos to perfection, I approach each task with unwavering dedication and attention to detail. My commitment to excellence is reflected in the quality of my work and the satisfaction of my clients, who trust me to deliver nothing but the best on their wedding day. I pride myself on my work and would never give you half-ass quality I can promise you that. So if you want a bad-ass photographer that specializes in making you feel comfortable in confident in your own body, reach out and we can talk. 

11. Packages to work with your budget and individual needs

I believe that every couple deserves a photography package that is tailored to their unique needs, preferences, and budget. That’s why I offer a range of flexible and customizable packages designed to accommodate a variety of wedding styles and requirements. Whether you’re seeking full-day coverage, intimate elopement photography, or a bespoke package tailored to your specific vision, I’ll work with you to create a photography plan that perfectly aligns with your wishes. If I’m out of your budget but you still want a style similar to mine with people you can trust to provide a quality service for a fraction of my price I also offer second shooters who can fit your needs. I’ve been working with these photographers for years and consider them near and dear friends who I know will handle your wedding with the upmost care and quality. They’re also available if I’m booked on your wedding day they’re another option to consider. You may also see them if you want to add-on a second shooter for your day to get even more photos to choose from!

12. Rave Reviews and testimonials

Don’t just take my word for it—let my satisfied clients speak for themselves. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with countless couples and families who have entrusted me with capturing their most cherished memories. Their glowing reviews and heartfelt testimonials serve as a testament to the quality of my work, my professionalism, and my unwavering commitment to excellence.
