SURPRISE WEDDING! Laura + Brian: The Edison Downtown, Schenectady NY
It's not everyday that a wedding takes place on a Monday, but even more rare than that is a wedding where almost no one but the bride and groom are aware that the event everyone is attending is an actual wedding! In all of our 17+ years of photographing weddings, we certainly have never seen it before. It was for sure an incredibly unique and cool experience and we are so happy to have been a part of it. In fact, I (Jen) have never been so nervous before a ceremony in my life besides at our own wedding!
All of the guests were mingling and having some drinks, waiting for the couple, who own a local restaurant, to arrive- anticipating a little celebratory event to commemorate the restaurant's anniversary. When the scheduled ceremony time arrives, the couple stands behind a curtain and then the venue's staff pulls back the curtain and then we see nothing but a sea of shocked faces. Priceless!!
