When Brooke Hassett Rohmann said “I do” at her Rhode Island wedding, she probably didn’t expect the most viral part of her big day to come from three mischievous flower girls armed with disposable cameras. But sometimes the best wedding memories aren’t the ones planned they’re the ones snapped by kids in tulle dresses staging a full-blown photo shoot.
The 28-year-old bride told TODAY.com that she ordered the cameras at the last minute, scattering them around the venue just for fun. With a professional photographer, second shooter, and even a content creator already booked, the disposables were more about nostalgia than necessity. But when the film came back, the surprise stars weren’t the bride, the groom, or the happy Rhode Island guests; it was her nieces, Calla, Sloane, and Kinsley.
“Whenever I would get texts with the link, there they were, the little girls,” Hassett Rohmann said with a laugh. The cousins managed to snag nearly all the cameras and filled them with dramatic poses, goofy selfies, and candid action shots. She shared the results on TikTok in a now-viral slideshow, writing: ‘POV you put disposable cameras all over your wedding but your flower girls get a hold of basically ALL OF THEM.’
Rhode Island Bride Gets Huge Surprise After Developing Disposable Wedding Cameras
Set to ABBA’s “Slipping Through My Fingers,” the video struck a chord. Viewers swooned over the chaos and charm, calling the photos the epitome of girlhood. With more than 100,000 likes and half a million views, it turns out the flower girls were running their own mini content empire, and they didn’t even know it.
Family members admit they didn’t see the takeover happen in real time. “They look like these little angels in their white dresses… like not a speck of dirt on them, napkins on their laps,” said Whitney Norton, mom to two of the girls. “At no point did I see them even doing this, which I think makes it even funnier. They like snuck off and had themselves a full-blown photoshoot.”
Turns out, the great disposable camera heist started with curiosity. The girls had never used a film camera before, and once Matthew Hassett’s wife Diane showed them how to click and wind, “it was game over.” Soon, they were raiding every table in sight, snatching up cameras and documenting their night like mini paparazzi.
“Straight out of a movie so adorable,” one person wrote on the TikTok video. “I’m actually obsessed,” another stated. “Oh but look how they captured girlhood!! There’s nothing quite like being at a wedding, in a pretty dress, at this age,” a third person declared.
The Internet Loves It
Calla, 8, apparently acted as the “executive director” of the entire operation, often behind the lens, orchestrating shots. At one point, the cousins even pretended one of them was a goat (yes, really), spinning an entire storyline for their pictures. By the end of the night, they had turned Brooke’s fun wedding detail into their own viral scrapbook.
And while some brides might have freaked at losing their disposable cameras to little hands, Brooke was completely in on the joke. “Brooke was just, she was such a good sport about it,” Norton said. “Her wedding I think was exactly what she wanted. And so this was almost like the curveball that made us all laugh so hard.”
Now, the Rhode Island bride is plotting her playful revenge. “I will definitely be making them order disposables, and me and my children will be taking selfies throughout their wedding,” she joked.
