A wedding is an exciting, life-changing event, so it’s no wonder that so much work goes into planning one. Brides carefully pick out everything from the venue to the dress.

With all the excitement, a wedding can seem like a whirlwind event that goes by almost too quickly. This is why many brides and grooms choose to have professional wedding photos taken. They’ll look back on these pictures fondly for the rest of their lives.

Every couple wants to express their personality in their wedding pictures, be it with silly poses, wearing sunglasses, or in the case of Alli and Kevin, with some surprise guests.

You see, Alli and Kevin love animals, and Alli thought it would be extra special if she could have some puppies pose with her and her bridesmaids in her wedding photos. She expressed this wish to her sister, but she honestly didn’t think it was going to happen.

Her sister and her bridesmaids were all in on the secret plan to get puppies in the pictures, but they didn’t even tell the groom. Thankfully, they knew to record the happy couple while they were having their wedding pictures taken.

In the video, Alli and Kevin look happy and in love like any soon-to-be married couple. They are posing for their pictures, completely blissful and unaware.

Then, Alli sees her bridesmaids start to walk towards them from a distance. She can’t see them clearly enough at first to notice that something extraordinary is about to happen. She just sees her friends in their beautiful dresses. She says, “You guys look so pretty.”

Her expression changes immediately when she notices that her bridesmaids are not alone. Each one is carrying a tiny, adorable puppy. Her jaw literally drops. She turns to her groom and asks, “Did you know this?!” He shakes his head no.

Alli seems almost overwhelmed with joy. We’re so glad that her reaction was captured on camera. After she chooses a puppy to hold, the photographer continues taking pictures. These puppy filled wedding pictures are sure to bring smiles to the happy couple’s faces every time they look at them for years to come.

It’s one thing to hear a description of this happy moment, but it’s even better to see it for yourself. Watch the video below to see the moment Alli notices the puppies and to see the beautiful wedding pictures.
