Evann Clingan was in Dumbo Sunday when she found a DSLR camera with thousands of wedding photos on its memory card.
Clingan is now hoping people who read this article might be able to help her get it back to its owner.
The camera's memory card is full of wedding and engagement photos taken around New York City.
Clingan has filed a police report and also posted a listing on Craigslist.
If anyone recognizes themselves in the images or believes they may know who the camera belongs to, please email limnewyork@nbcuni.com.
Clingan said she felt particularly bad for the couples involved because she herself is getting married soon, and believes the photos are one of the most important parts of the day.
"My fiancee and I were just saying we can't imagine it if it were our pictures, it's a mistake that could happen to anyone," she said.
Clingan could not find any images on the memory card that might identify the photographer by name.
