The story

We started in the dark with head torches and reached the lake as the sun hit the peaks. Nora's dress was hitched in one hand the whole way up.

Their friend read the ceremony from a small notebook. I filmed it from across the water so the mountains stayed in every frame.

“We climbed in the dark and she never once asked us to stop for a shot. It's all just there.”
