How the night ran
How did Maddie and Andrew’s wedding night run?
A Luxe Mirror, with their names on the print. Both of them wore Ian’s headphones. A slow dance among empty tables.

What they wanted
Maddie and Andrew booked in November 2024: the Elite tier, a ceremony sound system and a Luxe Mirror photo booth. A print from the booth carried their first names in script and the date.

How the night ran
Between the dinner tables, Ian spoke into a microphone while guests turned in their seats to listen. Later the bride wore his headphones and laughed with him, and minutes after that they hung round the groom’s neck.

How it turned out
In two of the photographer’s late frames, Maddie and Andrew hold each other close in the emptied room as the iron chandeliers glow.
