Wedding photos going viral are routine – thousands appear in an online search. But a viral prayer image? Not so much.
But that’s exactly what is happening with the image of U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Caleb Earwood, 21, holding the hand of Maggie, 22, then his fiancée but now his wife.
Photographer Dwayne Schmidt captured the moment when the two wanted to pray together before their ceremony, but didn’t want to be seeing each other before their vows.
It reveals her standing next to the corner of a building, her left hand reaching out to hold his hand. He is standing at the same corner, but facing away from her, and his right hand reaches behind him to touch hers.
He is praying. She holds her right hand to her face, touched by emotion.
Schmidt posted it on Facebook, where he said it was a unique moment.
“I have photographed a lot of weddings. This has to be one of the best things I have ever got to see, much less photograph.”
