Her wedding vendors surprised her with the photo shoot of a lifetime.
Dede Daniel has a lot on her plate — not only is the mother of two planning a wedding to her fiancé Stephen Long, she’s battling stage 2 breast cancer. Thanks to the kindness of strangers, she recently did an engagement photo shoot fit for royalty.

Just hours after she completed her first treatment, Long proposed.
In search of a beautiful, affordable venue in the Atlanta area, Daniel wrote a letter to a host of The Bert Show, her favorite radio show, to explain her situation and ask for a venue recommendation.
The host read her letter on air, and before Daniel knew it, a planner, a photographer, a florist, and more all donated their services to help her dream wedding become a reality.
As part of the package photographer Loyall Hart donated, he surprised Daniel and Long with an unforgettable photo shoot at The Swan House at Atlanta History Center on March 6.
« I knew they were going to do some pictures, but not a lot of other detail, » Daniel told BuzzFeed. « I thought they were just pictures for our save-the-dates. When we got there, they had a videographer, a camera crew, a makeup lady. It was awesome. »

A bridal boutique donated Daniel’s stunning black beaded gown, which she wore during the 8-hour shoot.
