with no place to stand.

photomelissa:

This past Saturday, I volunteered as a photographer at Pop Up Chapel, which was held at the Merchant’s Gate in Central Park. I am so glad I did, even though I was still hurting a bit from my injured back. 24 couples who, up until a few weeks ago, were not legally allowed to wed in the state of New York, were married in beautiful ceremonies to the cheers of their loved ones & complete strangers who lined the fences to watch.

I’ll be posting more photos later today, but in the meantime here’s a shot I took while standing in one of the two beautiful chapels, called “The Ribbon.”
