A bridal couple had a very unexpected guest at their wedding - and their photographer was there to capture it all!
I have always said that when it's my time to tie the knot, I want a massive wedding. Tons of people, food, drink, and celebrations all around. No expense will be spared and champagne will be flowing, darling!

Apart from the dress, these days the photographer is one of the most important parts of the wedding. I mean, how else will you be able to revel in your big day without having those picture-perfect moments captured on camera?

One particular photographer, named Leah McMahan Edmondson, managed to capture one very unexpected guest at the wedding of Sarina Thompson and Cory Alan Brewer. A massive black bear walked right into Edmondson's shot of the newly-married couple - thankfully the guests were ushered away from the area as it was after the ceremony.
"After the ceremony I did my normal ritual of family group pictures and bridal party pictures and then dismissed everyone to go on up the hill to the reception building to start eating. I had the bride and groom with me starting to shoot when we all noticed this bear. Being scared didn’t cross my mind, I just wanted ‘the shot.’ However, when I stood up, he made a ‘huffing’ sound and started toward me. At this point, I am beyond scared. He jacked my heart rate up to Jesus," Leah said.
All's well that ends well as no one was injured, but at least they have the photos to prove the once-in-a-lifetime moment. See, that's why I said the photographer is essential.
I certainly will not be factoring in unexpected guests for my big day. Shem!
