A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

These are photos from PiercedSmurf‘s suspension wedding (more pictures on his IAM page) on April 20, 2007 in New Orleans. I just love how happy everyone looks (including the person officiating the wedding!).
