Moments of weddings that were never photographed before, by Tatsu Hanai, who works in bridal photography: while he shoots the bride and groom as protagonists, he also turns his attention to what happens around and before and after the ceremony, catching the moments the couple will never see. Selected from twelve years of wedding days of many families, the pictures show a groom pressed against a wall from nerves, a grandfather meeting his granddaughter in her wedding dress, a father volunteering to hold the reflector, children behaving in outlandish ways, and even a deceased relative who could not attend, each alive with earnest feelings of celebration. Being a family and becoming a family, a relationship at once inevitable and accidental, precious and humorous, is condensed into a single picture, lighting up human life through the wedding.
