Clayton and Brittany Cook got married this Friday and like any other couple were having their wedding shoot going on the park bridge in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

When Brittany saw her husband in the lake she thought that he was playing a prank on her and her initial thought was, “I look over and I see Clay in the water and I think, what is he doing?"

The couple's photographer, Darren Hatt who until a few minutes ago was snapping wedding photographs didn't lose any time in capturing this moment. He said, “It was a commendable thing that he did and he sprung into action incredibly quick. Almost as soon as I realized what was going on, he had already saved the day.”

Clayton while talking about this incident told BBC, “I was sort of keeping a close eye on them, just because they were close to the water. I kind of just said to myself, well I’m pretty sure that just drops off, and I’m going to go check just to make sure the kids are okay. When I got there, they were kind of looking down in the water and pointing. That’s when I saw the boy — he was in the water, struggling, trying to keep his head up above the water and just flailing his arms quite a bit and just trying to keep air in himself. That’s when I was able to kind of jump down the rock ledge.”

He further said, "I kind of plucked him out and put him on top of the ledge there.” Cook told the BBC that although the boy was okay, “he was in a lot of shock and he was probably pretty tired. I think he was fighting for longer than I even thought."

The whole incident became viral on social media when Darren posted the captured pictures on his Facebook page along with the caption saying “A special shout out to last night’s groom Clayton! While I was taking solo pictures of the bride this little guy was pushed into the river behind me by another child. By the time the bride noticed and shouted out, Clayton had already jumped down and brought him to safety. His quick action saved the little guy who was struggling to swim. Well done sir!”

The Internet was quick to notice the story and the post became viral overnight with people praising Clayton for his heroic and selfless act and congratulated the couple on their wedding while Brittany was especially congratulated by people for getting such a great man as her life partner.
