At a wedding venue in Boca Raton, Florida, Vanessa and her bridesmaids were thinking about taking a group photo together that would show their intimate relationships.

Wedding photographer Hernan Sanchez, brainstorming along with them, asked if they ever prayed at home. They did, they replied, “so why not give a prayer of blessing onto Vanessa on her big day?” Sanchez asked.

“It was such a powerful moment,” he recalls. “The energy was insane! I organized them into a circle around her and started snapping away.”
