There is a lot of overt beauty on a Wedding Day. You can see it in the dress, the flowers, the portraits, and everyone who worked so hard to make the day possible. There is also a lot of quiet, powerful beauty on a Wedding Day. You can see it in two people committing to spend their lives being deserving of each other. You can see it in their promises to carry life’s load together, forever. This North Star Gatherings Wedding held so much beauty (the dress, the flowers, the portraits) but our favorite part was the unspoken beauty: the moment where two individuals went from being who they were just seconds ago to being a family, forever. It’s easy to miss the gravity of those moments, but they are absolutely some of the most important moments that we get on this Earth, and they are more than worth celebrating.
