Poignant Photo of the Day: At Ashley and Beau’s wedding, amid revelers and cake, photographer Andrea Boettcher captured a particularly poignant moment when she snapped this shot of Ashley’s terminally ill mother attending the ceremony from afar.

Boettcher writes:

Ashley’s mom joined the celebration over Skype. She is very sick and had so wanted to make it to their big day. There she is in the background watching her daughter dance her first dance with her new husband. It was beautiful, and made me thankful for modern technology.

According to Boettcher’s husband, Ashley’s mom passed away a short time later.
