Jodie and I had been ‘mutuals’ on TikTok for a few years.
I don’t follow a lot of ‘normal’ people. I like funny shit, dogs and cave exploring (I actually hate those videos but can’t stop watching them) but Jodie’s videos kept me watching.
I even did my own video on her (I only told her this at her wedding) because she just kept showing up and celebrating herself and I was in awe of that: Her handle is ‘fat to fit mum’ and she’s closing in on nearly 100 pounds lost and just doing it the sensible way. Diet and exercise. A few weeks in a row she was online celebrating her 1lb weight loss or her stay the same weeks but still found the positives in her week (better choices, more movement etc) and that is just not me as a person and I envied her approach towards the whole thing. I found myself wanting to be more like her in that respect.
Like a lot of us I have an unhealthy relationship with dieting and the dieting world but here this woman was showing me what a healthy relationship looked like.
We started showing up on each others videos and then one day a message came through. ‘Would you cover Glasgow for a wedding?’ (The answer is absolutely btw)
I get a lot of messages so didn’t actually expect anything to come of it. Then another message…… we have booked the day, are you free?
The rest is history.
A wedding on Valentines for a couple who have been together for 10 years and who just WANT to get married. Perfect.
Jodie and Joe admit they’re hardly ever in front of the camera, Joe especially but you’d never guess it. Jodie’s infectious personality and smile bring any surroundings to life and that makes my job a fuck tone easier 😂
I’ve selected a good number of images for you to see but they don’t share their son online so I shall respect his privacy and their wishes but just know that he was an angel on the day. A real credit to them. Not a moan came out that boys mouth and he was there ready for pictures at any moment.
A genuine true pleasure to be a part of their day. My cheeks hurt from smiling as I said my goodbyes.
More of Jodie and joes in my world please.
