Wedding

Karina & Jorge

The groom reads the card that came with a gift, his jacket waiting on the window frame
A friend straightens the groom's blue tie, both of them laughing, as he gets ready
The groom adjusts his shirt cuff by the window, the Royal Palace of Madrid framed behind him
The groom hugs and kisses a guest in a yellow dress while his friends wait in the hallway
Portrait of the groom and his friends on the terrace, the Royal Palace of Madrid rising behind them
The makeup artist lines the bride's lips, the scene doubled in the dressing-table mirror
The hairstylist sets the bride's updo with hairspray against the window light
The bride carries her dress on its hanger along the hotel terrace, two friends beside her
The bride settles her veil while a guest holds the trailing edge and her friends look on from the terrace
The bride glances back over her shoulder, her lace train spread across the terrace, the Torre de Madrid behind
The bride's friends react as they see her in her dress for the first time outside the hotel
Her friends close in around the bride with hugs and clasped hands, right there on the street
The bride laughs, her white rose bouquet in hand, in the middle of the circle of friends
The bride walks through central Madrid surrounded by her friends, baby's breath bouquets held high
The groom walks up the church aisle arm in arm with a guest in a yellow dress
The bride enters the church on a guest's arm as everyone films her on their phones
The couple smile as they stand at the altar, the veil spilling out across the red carpet
The couple follow the ceremony, framed between two little girls with white bows in their hair
Seated through the ceremony, the couple share a laugh, the veil spread out beside them
The groom reads his vows off his phone into the microphone the priest holds out for him
The couple hold hands in front of the altar while the guests applaud behind them
The couple kiss at the altar and the whole church breaks into applause
The couple step out of the church through bubbles and confetti as the children fire the cannons
From the convertible, the couple throw their arms up to say goodbye to the guests
First dance: the couple touch foreheads under the lights of the dance floor
Drinks in hand, the guests watch the couple's first dance
The groom lifts the bride off her feet in the middle of the first dance
The groom keeps the party going in a crown-topped top hat and heart-shaped sunglasses
The bride dances among the guests in a sequinned jacket and a flower crown
The guests crowd in around the couple on the dance floor, arms in the air
