The post ceremony minutes might be some of my favorite minutes of a wedding day
The holy sh*t, we just got married.
The “wow, your vows were something else.”
The laughing about something that was said during the ceremony. In this case, by Madi’s mom.
The drying of tears.
The absentminded twisting of a brand new ring around a finger.
The looks at each other that feel a little different now.
The hugs from the people who just watched it all happen.
I photograph some version of these minutes at every wedding, and somehow they never feel the same.
There’s always that exhale. The disbelief. The joy.
That shift from we’re about to get married to we’re married.
But the people are different, the words are different, what makes someone cry or everyone burst out in laughter is different. The hands reaching for in celebration are different.
The way you look at each other is your own.
After months, sometimes years of planning, anticipating and making a thousand little decisions. Suddenly the thing you came her to do is done.
You’re married 💕
