MATT AND HEATHER got married on September 12th this year in Michigan in the US – but the photographer didn’t actually bother to show up on the day.
Disaster.
But a heartwarming story has emerged since when a local photographer Dana Gruszynski heard about their plight, and recreated their special day for free – just to be sound.
Dana told the story of how it happened on her blog – and included some photos of the couple who were overwhelmed by the soundness of the gesture.
It was the day after Matt & Heathers wedding when I received a phone call from my cousin, Stacy. She had explained to me that she was at a wedding the night before, and their photographer did not show. My heart just sunk.
She immediately thought she could help them out:
It wasn’t even a minute after I got of the phone that I contacted the Bride, Heather. I introduced myself and asked her if she could meet me for coffee so we could chat. I got to know her a bit more, and though I had all these ideas in my head, I kept it simple and told her I wanted her to slip back into her dress and I would, free of charge, do a intimate bridal session.
So she recreated the big day, and got the couple’s friends and family together
“The moment they hit the corner and saw their family and friends, she lost it” Dana says
Turning a disaster into a triumph
Well played, everyone.
