Daniela Hunt Cortes | Draper’s Hall | www.thedrapers.co.uk LOVE YOURSELF Q I’m feeling overwhelmed at the thought of having all eyes on me on my wedding day. What can I do to boost my confidence and get excited about the prospect? Your wedding is likely to be one of the best days of your life, and with that comes a lot of pressure for everything to be just right. This can include your self image. When it comes to having your photo taken on the day, the aim is to remove the need for perfection and instead see your photographer as someone who is taking a record of what happened on this once-in-a-lifetime day. There’s no expectancy to look like anything other than your beautiful self. You’ll thank yourself for being in the moment when you look back on your photos for years to come. The second step to greater body confidence is to practice a confident mindset. If you feel confident, you’ll look it. Dip into the confidence pools that exist in your everyday life – that amazing presentation you did at work, that time when you perfected your manicure – these are all little wins. Thinking about the things that make you feel a certain way will help you depict that emotion in your photos. Our body confidence shoots provide you with an experience that help you celebrate the true beauty and strength that you carry. Seeing your body as a piece of art is the perfect first step to learning to love yourself.
