he kissed his bride. as they walked hand in hand down the aisle, their smiles were so wide, their hearts ready to burst. their only thought: we are married!
and then something unexpected.
from behind, the first few notes rang out. and voices of friends and family members began.
and they sang from the front of the church as justin and tria turned to see.
“…all you need is love, love. love is all you need.”
and in that moment their faces scrunched up and tears streamed down their faces, and behind my lens i fought them back as well.
a huge chorus had gathered at the front of the church to sing to their bride and groom. it reminded me of my favorite movie, but it was more than copying a movie. it was real. and it was beautiful.
justin and tria, to have friends that love you that way, and to be a part of your day, to see you guys smile and cry and laugh together, was a blessing.

here are the other moments of your day that i loved. starting back at the beginning.
tria and her sisters wore bracelets with their mother’s scarf woven into the links in memory.
