Wedding Suprise Photo...

Just wanted to share something I did for a friend at her wedding that is fairly easy to pull off, and worked out great.

I`m a photographer by profession, but was not photographing her wedding, so I just sort of did this one for the heck of it.

I got a great candid photo of the bride and groom slow dancing at a gathering the night before the wedding. One of those "looking in his eyes" moments. Then, during the wedding, I got a very cool photo of them lighting the unity candle.

On the way back to the reception, I stopped by an Office Max and had the two printed as 8 x 10`s and bought a couple of inexpensive frames. Most of these quick print places can actually do one or two photos while you wait, and some, including WalMart, have machines where you can get it immediately. I was in there less than 10 minutes, so it didn`t take long.

They were staying at the same hotel as the reception, and we`d already planned on sneaking in to the room to bring in champagne, etc, so I just went ahead and put the two photos on the night stand.

They said later they really didn`t notice the rest of the stuff in the room, they just saw the pictures and that was it.....

As I say, this one isn`t hard to pull off.. If they aren`t staying where the reception is, just sneak the photos in the car they`ll be leaving in....
