Henry (Hank) Paul, Tears (Wedding: Single Shot 2022)

In my job as a wedding photographer, I always tell my clients that I don't document what they see, but rather, how they feel. To me, this image is the epitome of that statement. Visually, this image shows the groom, the bride's mother and the bride's grandmother all tearing up at the precise moment that the bride enters the church. But what it conveys is the profound sense of love, affection and pride that they all feel for the bride as she's about to walk down the aisle.
