Woman Was Nervous About Her Photoshoot With Fiancé, But The Result Won The Internet

[gaymer77]

Pictures of the couple found on The Source

So often today on social media we are bombarded by images of plastic people, airbrushed and filtered to such an extent that all genuine emotion and feeling, the human connections that shine through the picture and into our hearts, is lost.

Step forward Stephanie and Arryn, a young couple from Texas. They are not models, but friends with photographer Bria Terry, of Wolf & Rose Photography. Stephanie decided to respond to an everyday call for models to take part in a boudoir photoshoot, and as you can see, the results are stunning.

The photoshoot was uploaded onto Wolf & Rose Photography’s Facebook page, which is pretty much normal protocol, but this time the photos went hugely viral. What is it about these particular photos that have caused such a stir? We will leave it for you to decide. But the obvious love, chemistry, confidence and beauty of the images are there for all to see, generating an unexpectedly wonderful response from an infamously mean internet comments section. “This makes my heart so happy and gives me hope as a plus size woman that not all men care about what size you are” is just one example of the body positive message that this photoshoot, breaking the mold of societal expectations, has inspired.

Stephanie has embraced the opportunity to give her message of body positivity to the millions who struggle with unrealistic expectations pushed by both social and mainstream media, leading to self-esteem issues. “I remember being in junior high and looking at myself in the mirror, wondering why my stomach wasn’t the way it was ‘supposed’ to be,” she told HuffPost. “Over the years, I’ve come to accept that I am always going to be considered plus-size. I push myself out of my comfort zone by wearing clothes that I love but aren’t in society’s mold of what is acceptable for bigger women, like crop tops, tight shirts, shorter dresses and shorts. I walk around with my head high, smiling, and show no shame in myself.” The photoshoot gave her a great opportunity to really express herself, and she loves the result. “I honestly have never felt more attractive,” was her reaction to first seeing the album. “I was shocked. I look so in love and confident. Every person should be able to see themselves in that light. It is really eye-opening.”

We at Bored Panda say cheers to Stephanie and Arryn, who plan to wed in early 2019, and to Bria for capturing the connection, emotion and chemistry between them. Bria told Healthline that the couple had made her job seem easy. “The connection they share is truly inspiring, even to me. It has always been my hope as a photographer to show people the beauty that they hold, and I feel like I’ve done this here. I am a firm believer in love. Size, race, religion, and sexuality are all things that are at times used to divide us, but at the end of the day, we all just want to be loved. I think that’s why these photos have become so popular. Above all else, you can see the love that these two share.”

The photoshoot resonated with people across the internet

Ok its nice and all that she found love in this world. There are a lot of souls out there searching for their partner. Great for her. As far as how she looks, yeah she's fat and plain looking. Her fiance is pretty hot though.

I guess I will be the first to point out that she is fat and not attractive.

Cause you ate too much, period.

I have nothing against fat people, anyone can do what they want. But this is geting ridiculous.

“Over the years, I’ve come to accept that I am always going to be considered plus-size” .. or you could.. i don't know.. lose the weight and not be plus-size? Clearly she would prefer to be in better shape, but she just decided "eh whatever.. too fucking lazy. Now I can just call people fat-shamers for not finding me attractive"

[Rennadrel]

This just in: Fattie doesn't want to admit to having a weight problem and won't seek help or do anything about it. Blames society for being a fatass even as a teenager.

Pro tip, 'before you accuse me, take a look at yourself', as Eric Clapton once wrote.

And yes, I am calling out all fat people, myself included.

she looks happy in the photos, good for her. That's the most important thing in life

We already have one Tennisace doing the random copy pasta. Find a different shtick.

It's caused such a stir because it's a fat woman with a fit man. Therefor she is somehow empowering feminism ladida bla bla and all that bullshit. Reverse the roles and it's just a rich dude taking advantage of a young girl for sex, and a young girl taking advantage of a rich dude for money.

She is fat and if her husband really loves her need to tell her so, so she can lose weight for the sake of her health.

I don't understand the subject... Nice pictures of the two but... This feels more like someone pressing 'Share' on facebook without more topic.

They did manage to find a fitting setting, gotta give props for that!

[Cyberowl]

She should lose some weight for her health's sake. That's too big.

[Louisa Bannon]

The wife has what is sometimes called pear shaped weight. From the waist up she's still thick but not over the top necessarily. I thought she had a nice face in the one pic that shows that. As a couple they look good.

I honestly have no idea why anyone else wants to dump on the happiness of others. I say more power to them.

[AeneasBK]

At 6 foot and 55kg, I judge that you're all fat fuckers who could afford to lose a few pounds :P

That's way too skinny.

[derpkitteh]

her face is ok. i think anyway, can't see it straight on.

nobody should be bullied, but nobody should think it's ok to be that big. it's not ok, don't lie about it.

[stgeorge78]

As a fat dude who bangs a skinny chick - I say more power to her!

[TheFirstOnes]

Okay, cool album? Why does this win the internet? Is it because of "Body acceptance"?

Just keep that private, man.

[Perkunas]

Some cultures are prone to whaling. I'm personally not one to shove my harpoon in that gal's blowhole.

[WskyDK]

That has to be a marine she’s dating.
They love the fatties


OT: I don’t find her attractive, but clearly someone enjoys the extra effort.
