On September 4, 2016, photographer Paul Woo captured a heartwarming photo of 6-year-old Bryson Suber breaking down in tears after watching his mother walk down the aisle to marry his father. Although taken almost two years ago, the sweet photo of then 5-year-old Bryson is currently melting the internet’s heart.
“I was secretly bawling behind the camera and had to prioritize this moment over the bride coming down the aisle,” Woo (who solo shot the wedding) told People magazine.” Yes, I got both photos, but I knew this moment was THE moment.”
At the wedding, Bryson stood next to his little brother Brayden as the ring bearer and witnessed his parents, Bryant and Tearra Suber (who were high school sweethearts) tie the knot. Recalling the moment she saw tears streaming down her eldest son’s face as she walked down the aisle inside the Pinnacle Golf Course in Grove City, Ohio, Tearra said:
“I didn’t actually notice Bryson’s reaction until I was about halfway down the aisle. He was very emotional, and it was a very emotional moment for me because the value that it meant for us and for our family.”
“I hadn’t yet realized that my sweet, soulful, oldest baby boy was also sharing in on this moment so deeply, with us,” Tearra wrote in an Instagram post. “Taking in every breath, right along with us! To see him share such strong emotions of joy and happiness for the union of his parents was seriously one of the most powerful moments I’ve experienced to date.”
Here are a few more photos from Bryant and Tearra’s big day.
We’re not crying, you’re crying. Cheers to Black love and family!
