Where every picture comes from
Every photograph and video on this site, what it shows, who made it and the terms it is published under.
Best Ceremonies publishes every picture on this site with its source recorded here: who made it, the terms it is published under, and whether it is a photograph at all. Of them, thirteen are published with permission from the photographer or the couple they licensed, three under a Creative Commons licence, and twelve were generated by AI and will be replaced by photographs in time.
Published with permission
