— -- Tom Hanks made one couple's wedding day especially memorable after he crashed their photo shoot in Central Park this weekend.

The bride and groom, named Elizabeth and Ryan, were accompanied by New York City-based photographer Meg Miller when Hanks approached them in the park and posed for pictures.

The "Sully" actor even tweeted a photo with the newlyweds on Sept. 24.

"Elizabeth and Ryan! Congrats and blessings! Hanx."

Miller said the run-in with Hanks was a happy accident.

"We were photographing the bride and groom in Central Park and a guy on a jog started to slow down near the couple, he leaned in close as he took off his hat and sunglasses and said, 'Hi, I am Tom Hanks' while reaching out to shake the grooms hand," Miller wrote in an email to ABC News. "He asked their names and wished them congratulations, and before he left he asked to take a selfie with them. He posted it within minutes to his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. He was so polite, friendly and excited for the couple. We were all shocked and excited, what an amazing NYC moment."

ABC News reached out to Elizabeth and Ryan, but the couple is currently on their honeymoon.
