Fat bride engagement photos

Im sorry you feel that way. Im also not happy with how i look and i keep wanted to loose weight but its not working. Im sad to think ill me huge on my wedding but losing weight is hard.

I started crying when I saw mine. I looked twice and then never again. Those photos will never see the light of day again. We are redoing the shoot on Thursday but it's not like I have miraculously lost 30lbs or whatever so...

It sucks! My sneak peak got posted on FB. If I was thin- they would be great photos. My fat ass and belly ruins them :/ so I am currently drinking a bottle of wine...

We've all been there...HOWEVER, do you not have a man that loves you for YOU? Obviously yes, so ya....we may have a lil extra junk in the trunk..or dread looking at our pics...but obviously we are beautiful to who matters at the end of the day. Ps for what it's worth, I think that is a beautiful picture of the two of you

I think you look beautiful in that picture!

If you really want to lose some weight then do your best but don't be too hard on yourself. Planning a wedding is stressful enough!

I think you look awesome in that picture! I want to loose weight too, a bunch of bride's on here actually told me weight watchers worked and its not that expensive, so I will be giving that a try. However don't beat yourself up about how you look, you look great!

I dealt with this with our shoot. Some of the photos looked like a pregnancy shoot to me, since my stomach sticks out so far. :/ but I was able to see past my stomach,and my double chin, when I saw how happy we looked in the photos. She captured what was most important. Not how we look, but how we feel about each other.

I felt the same way about some of my photos, but honestly, doesn't everyone? If you are thinking about doing a re-shoot, maybe, get your hair/makeup professionaly done, and wear something glamorous! I always feel better about myself when I get super dolled up! Also, I'm sure there is better photos to choose from your engagement session. If you don't like these photos, also look into a new photographer for the wedding. I gurantee if this photo was taken from above, you would love it so much more!

Loosing weight might not be your issue. I've seen a hundred pictures of "fat" girls and they look really good in the picture. Making sure your back is straight, shoulders squared and pulling your chin out can make a world of difference.

Do you have other photos?

I love that photo! It's so sweet!

You need to get rid of that mentality and everything will be so much better! Who cares if you're not a size 2 model, we all can't be that size. You're beautiful for who you are and you have a man that loves you for you.

Yes losing weight is hard, but it can be done. However you must love yourself and how you look first or you will always have negative feelings on your looks.

Embrace your looks, you're beautiful!

I have often found that when I look at pictures I don't look the same way that I view myself in my head. It can be hard to accept my current weight and my sluggish metabolism. No spectacular advise but that is honestly a cute photo, and I am sure you will get a lot more great photos from the shoot.

Trust me, if you don't love yourself now, you won't magically love yourself if you become 20 or 50 or 100 pounds lighter. Be kind to yourself, and believe you deserve that kindness. It's not as easy to do as it is to say, but I encourage you work on your mentality as you try to be a healthier you.

I agree with Hannah if you arent happy with your figure, when you do a re-shoot try other things to show of your beauty--- make up, hair, a flattering dress--and you may see a difference good luck!

Woah! woah woah!

Those first post and the couple comments that followed broke my heart. That engagement photos is so sweet. I saw two people in love! I saw a couple in nature, connected to each other. I saw a HELLA comfy looking sweater in a great color. I saw a couple happy to take the next step and open a new chapter in their life.

Just like @Angie said, be kind to yourself. You wouldn't let anyone else talk to you like that, why is it okay for you to talk to YOU like that?

We have all been there, but instead of being so mean and harsh to yourself, I would suggest, and this is only from experience, you stop. think about what you are saying. and then say two positive things about that same feature instead. If you say "oh i have the biggest thighs they are gross" you now have to say to yourself, "these thighs are strong, they carry me where i need to go. These thighs root me to the earth and make me feel secure."

remember, this is your time. You will never be a "fiancé" or "future bride" again (fingers crossed). Relish that.

I also suggest yoga! The message about being in tuned with your body through yoga (no MATTER WHAT SIZE OR SIZE LIMITATIONS YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO SET) will reconnect you to the beauty of your body, the beauty of your center, and help you stand tall against that negative self talk.

I love your photo

I think you look awesome. I didn't lose a pound throughout my engagement and I felt stunning on my wedding day. It's really hard to look bad if you're happy and in love.

As a woman who would like to lose weight, I'm not going to say I don't understand your insecurity. You are absolutely beautiful, but there are always little tricks to make pictures turn out better (this applies to even size 2 and size 0 women). Like Barklarich said, in your wedding pictures have good posture, tilt your head down and forward slightly and wear a smile (nothing beats that!). Shapewear and makeup contouring also works WONDERS. You are gorgeous just as you are, but if you feel like you need a little something extra to feel comfortable, try those tips. I'll be using them all on my wedding day. <3

As someone who lost 100 pounds a few years back, I promise you that loosing weight may temporarily make you feel good but it will not make you feel not-fat for long. There's many insecurities that will never shed even if the weight is gone. I call these former fat girl problems (I try to be candid about my struggle).

My advice: love yourself at any weight because the man on your life does. If you want to loose weight, set goals, be determined and do it for the right reasons.

Totally agree with @MrsMoralesToBe. I totally understand the weight struggle, and my goal is to lose 30 by the wedding. But if I don't it's ok. Don't beat yourself up. Life is too short to let weight ruin this great time in your life. You have a man who loves you, you're getting married- it's an awesome time! Enjoy it! I understand wanting to lose weight, but you'll also regret feeling bad about yourself right now and missing the joy of getting married. Just do something everyday to make you feel better. It can be small, like exercising or adding another healthy food, but don't focus on losing a large amount of weight, you're gorgeous, and will make a beautiful bride!
