Chris Parkinson was most definitely crying while he was taking this picture. The wedding photographer, who runs Beneath the Pines out of the UK, assures us that everyone was in tears as the Best Man, completely choked up, found himself unable to finish his reading at his brother’s wedding ceremony.

“Such as special bond between two brothers!” says Parkinson, who explained that the bride’s sister then stepped in to complete the Best Man’s reading.

“I tried to get all four characters in the frame and get the focus on the Best Man. But with people moving, my framing isn’t as perfect as I’d of liked—it hurts my symmetrical loving brain,” admits Parkinson. “But the emotion in the image is just perfect!”
