We had the absolute honor of teaming up with Elite Secrets Bridal and the Elite Design House team
on the incredible Curvy Done Right campaign. You might’ve already caught a glimpse of the magic in Iconic Bride Magazine, but there’s so much more to this shoot than what you’ve seen so far. In this blog, we’re proud to showcase two stunning, curvy models who represent plus-size brides looking for an authentic, personalized touch on their wedding day.
As wedding photographers, we believe every couple deserves to see themselves celebrated in the images that inspire them—just as they are. Collaborating with Elite Secrets Bridal on this campaign gave us the perfect opportunity to do just that. Together, we created a visual celebration of curvy brides, bringing their unique beauty and love stories to life in ways that go beyond the pages of a magazine.
Our mission is simple: we want real couples to feel confident, empowered, and proud of their love stories. And for brides of all shapes and sizes, we believe a custom wedding dress should be a reflection of who they are, their personal style, and their uniqueness.
This project is particularly meaningful to us because it aligns with our deep commitment to diversity and inclusivity in the wedding industry. If you’ve been following our journey, you already know how much we push for more representation in wedding media. When we were planning our own wedding over a decade ago, it was nearly impossible to find imagery that resonated with who we were as a couple. That experience has shaped everything we do as photographers—making it our goal to showcase real love stories, not just the ones traditionally seen in magazines.
The Curves Done Right campaign is just the beginning of our exciting collaboration with Elite Secrets Bridal and Elite Design House. This first installment celebrates bespoke bridal fashion for plus-size women, giving them the spotlight they deserve. We’re beyond thrilled to help redefine the beauty standards in the wedding world and show that love, style, and confidence have no size limits.
