Champions Retreat Surprise Wedding

All of their friends and family thought this was going to be a simple engagement party. What they got, however, was a surprise wedding that no one saw coming.

Country artist, Daniel E Johnson and Tennessee Titans cheerleader, Jamie Lynn LeBrun invited their closest friends and family to join them at Champions Retreat in Evans, Georgia for an engagement party. The couple had old pictures from their childhood projecting onto the wall, drinks were flowing and music was playing throughout, but then something happened. Halfway through the night, Daniel handed his father a very small box and whispered something in his ear. The reaction from his father was priceless, and thankfully I caught it on camera because I didn't get a warning, ha.

Next thing you know, the DJ announces that everyone should make a lane outside by the golf course at Champions Retreat, and we have a wedding on our hands. Jamie and her father appear arm-in-arm at the back of the impromptu wedding aisle. Jamie now draped in a wedding gown. Tears are shed, hugs are shared, and the father and daughter slowly make their way to Daniel and the officiant. The looks on the faces of the party goers, now turned wedding guests, are priceless. It is definitely must-see video footage and I'm thankful I was the one hired to capture it.

As the night rolled on at this Champions Retreat surprise wedding, I got to see first hand how happy everyone was for this great couple. It was truly a celebration that all of their guests felt part of. I am inspired by the work ethic and inner drive that these two possess to follow their dreams. I know that they will pour that same passion for life into their marriage and each other. Thanks Jamie Lynn and Daniel!
