Andrea Mitchell, a trailblazer in her own right, invited co-author Kathryn Hamm to appear on her show, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, to speak about The New Art of Capturing Love and how the wedding industry is changing with the recent breakthroughs in marriage equality.

The inspiring images in the book struck her as they have so many — from photographers to wedding professionals to engaged couples and others. She opens the segment congratulating Kathryn (and Thea, who was unable to join them in the studio) on the book. “A beautiful book indeed!”

Andrea also asks Kathryn where, with favorability polls climbing higher than ever, she thinks this is headed. Watch below to see how Kathryn answers.
