Jan. 27 (UPI) -- A bride dressed as a T-rex to surprise the groom at their North Carolina wedding photo shoot and the moment was captured on video by their photographer.

Photographer Jon Murray posted a video to Facebook showing the moment groom Tom Gardner was supposed to have his "first look" at his soon-to-be-wife, Beth, in her wedding gown.


Beth had other plans, however, and Tom instead turned around to find his betrothed dressed as a Tyrannosaurus.

"I was totally floored when I turned around and saw her in this," Tom wrote in a Facebook comment.

"It just warms my heart to see that so many people got a giggle out of this too," Beth wrote.
