One day, two scenes. Quiet at the registry,
loud at the celebration that followed.
Amanda and Gabi got married at the registry. Just the two of them, the way they wanted it — the legal part kept simple.
Later that same day, they gathered everyone who matters. Friends from different chapters of their lives, all in one room. Tables full of food and drinks. Music that meant something to them. Long hugs. Toasts that turned into stories.
They asked me in for the celebration. Photograph what happens, they said. We already have the rings. We need the people.
What I love about photographing a celebration like this — there's no nervousness left. The legal part is done. Amanda and Gabi already know they're married. The room is the rest of the world celebrating with them.
