A newlywed couple and a wedding photographer are hoping Bay Area residents can reunite them with their wedding pictures.

According to NBC Bay Area, Alexandria Headley and Tyler Hamel of Texas were married on September 4 in Alabama. After the wedding, they were looking forward to getting their photos of the special day from Ashtynn Bree Photography.

“I thought they were stunning. I'd never felt so beautiful than on that day, I was super excited,” said the bride. 

The couple is now worried they'll never get to see the special photos after the photographer's car was broken into last week during a shoot in San Francisco at the Painted Ladies.

“We had hidden stuff under blankets because we couldn't fit it in the trunk because of our luggage,” photographer Ashtynn White told NBC.

During the shoot, thieves managed to break into her car and get away with camera gear, laptops, and hard drives.

The couple's wedding photos and all the backups on hard drivers were gone.

“There are memories on hard drives like first dances, her grandma giving her a penny for her shoe, so many special moments,” said White. 

The newlyweds are back in Texas and are offering a $1,000 reward for the return of the hard drive and SD cards.

“It would mean the world to her, hopefully someone out there has the heart to return it,” Hamel told NBC. “It would also mean the world to our photographer.”
