Miniature Brides: New Wedding Photo Trend

I recently came across this site where wedding photos are taken and the bride is photoshopped/shrunk down into a miniature person that the groom can literally pick up.
Some of the pictures are of the bride sleeping in a jewelry case, holding her skirt down while the groom lifts it with a pen, sitting on the groom’s shoulder, dancing in the middle of candles while the groom watches her, popping out of a box held in the groom’s hands. If there was ever another set of wedding photos demonstrating inequality between bride and groom, or the bride as an object/toy possessed by the groom, I don’t know where they are.
Here is 8Asians take on it.
