We had the honor of working with Elite Secrets Bridal and the Elite Design House team
on this amazing Curves Done Right campaign. You may have seen the photos in Iconic Bride Magazine but we would love to share more in depth about this shoot and it’s impact on the wedding industry.
This project was particularly special to us as it aligns with our mission to promote diversity and inclusivity in the wedding industry.
If you’ve followed us for some time, you would know that we love pushing diversity and inclusivity into the mainstream wedding industry spotlight. When we were engaged and looking for wedding inspiration 10 years ago, it was really hard for us to find imagery that we could identify with and relate to. So when we became wedding photographers it was always a goal for us to show and celebrate real couples, not just the ones that you typically see in the magazines.
As wedding photographers, we believe that every couple deserves to see themselves represented in the images they see.
We were thrilled to collaborate with Elite Secrets Bridal and the Elite Design House team on this campaign. Together, we showcased a diverse range of curvy brides, and our images were featured in Iconic Bride Magazine. However, our mission goes beyond the pages of a magazine. We want to inspire real couples to celebrate their unique love stories and to feel confident in their own skin. We also want brides to know that no matter what they can have a custom dress that accurately reflects their own personal style.
Tonya says “It’s our goal and mission to bring curvy designers to our brides and not just offer gowns in her size! THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!!!”
We appreciate all of the vendors who helped bring this dream to life. We loved the supportive sense of community that we had all through this project. We thoroughly enjoyed creating with all of you and cant wait to work with you all again!
Thank you for joining us on this journey towards inclusivity and diversity in the wedding industry. We hope that our work inspires and uplifts you, and we look forward to capturing more beautiful moments in the future.
Stay Tuned to see the final photos!
