Photographer Nichole Cline is used to capturing special moments and beautiful weddings, but one thing she doesn't see all the time is a bride's brother squeezing into a wedding dress. But that's exactly what happened when her clients Heidi and Val booked her to photograph their wedding and "first look."

Apparently, Heidi's groom was nervous for the big day. So to lighten the mood, she sent her brother in her place for the dress reveal.-placeholder

Apparently, Heidi's groom was nervous for the big day. So to lighten the mood, she sent her brother in her place for the dress reveal.

In an article for Love What Matters, Nicole shared that the bride and groom eloped five years ago but were renewing their vows. "The stress of venue booking, preparing all the details, making timelines, and taking a vow in front of God and everybody, the groom was a ball of nerves," she said. "The bride conspired a trick to help out with that."

Heidi's brother agreed to put on a friend's old wedding dress and prank Val. He even went the extra mile to "smell like a girl."-placeholder

"Val is from Russia and Heidi is from Norway. They incorporated their heritages into their wedding like no other wedding I have seen before! Their traditions run thick in their families. Not only does that show, but their family is so tight."

And when the time came for the epic first look, Nicole captured every glorious moment of it.-placeholder
