A rescue team is looking for the woman at Dorwin Falls in Rawdon, Que. ALAMY
A recently married bride wanted to be photographed one more time in her wedding dress.
The photo shoot on Friday wound up killing her.
A Montreal-area woman, married just under three months ago, dipped her toes into a river northeast of the city near the town of Rawdon.
The water wasn't particularly deep or turbulent. But it began to seep into the dress, making it heavy.
Eventually, the 30-year-old woman slipped from the rocks and was carried away by the Ouareau River.
"The photographer put down his equipment and tried to save her. He grabbed her with his hands," said provincial police spokesman, Sgt. Ronald McInnis. "(One witness) tried to help, but they couldn't save her.
"The dress was too heavy."
