A stunning video recorded Tuesday captures a Lebanese bride in Beirut moments before the massive explosion that killed 135 people and injured thousands of others.

In the video, the bride, Israa Seblani, can be seen posing for a video shoot in the center of a city plaza wearing a long white gown.

But just seconds into the shoot, a loud explosion is heard, knocking out windows and rattling buildings.
