Many couples hire a wedding photographer to capture everything from the bride's dress to the first kiss as a married couple and eventually put these photos into an album. So you can imagine the newlyweds' surprise as they flip through the pictures and realize not everything was as it seemed on their special day. But if they have any sense of humor, they'll get some good laughs at the ridiculous photobombs their photographers captured - just like you're about to.
His First (and Last) Time Officiating a Wedding
The man standing behind the couple recently got ordained, and this was his first wedding. Unfortunately, he chose to fix his glasses at the wrong time. Maybe he chose the wrong finger as well. He’s definitely going to regret it for the rest of his life. We're pretty sure it's common courtesy not to use your middle finger to fix your glasses in any public place - especially when there are cameras around.
And while our instinct is to think this was an accident, if you look closely, he has a bit of an evil smile behind that naughty finger.
Just When They Thought It Was the Picture Perfect Spot
Just imagine choosing the ideal location for your wedding photographs: a beach filled with rocks, a cloudy yet romantic sky behind the couple, and just when you think you have a perfect shot - an undressed man starts climbing out of the water. Not so picture-perfect anymore! But if you ask us, things couldn't have gone any better (or funnier). The photographer deserves a round of applause for capturing this masterpiece.
Here is naked proof for all those who don't believe that mermaids and merman exist. He obviously turned his fins into human legs when he got out of the water.
A Sign From the Universe
They say love is blind, and it’s definitely true in this case: this couple doesn't seem to notice the glaring "Stop" sign right in front of them. If there ever was a sign from the universe, this is it. But they weren't the only ones to ignore it: everyone in attendance, including the photographer, seemed to ignore this sign. At the very least, the bride and groom should have interpreted this as a warning.
Maybe they are not meant to be together, and they should have listened to the signs the universe was trying to give them. Or perhaps one of their friends did this to tease the bride and groom on their big day.
When You See It... Run!
Originally, this was this couple's favorite wedding photo. But then, one day, they noticed something strange lurking behind them. Don't see it? How about you take a look at that tiny space between their heads. Can't figure out what that creepy person is doing there? Neither can the couple, who has no idea who that was! Perhaps it's a ghost haunting their marriage? Whatever it is, this is certainly no longer their favorite shot.
It would be horrifying for the Newlyweds to start their married life with fright after spotting a ghost in their wedding snaps. The couple was left stunned after spotting this unusual photobomber.
That's When You Know They're Your Best Friends
Everyone knows the best bridesmaids are the ones who dance like no one is looking or, in this case, photobomb like no one is looking. It's pretty clear why the bride has chosen them. These ladies aren’t scared to steal the spotlight. They made sure to bring positivity and colors to the wedding. There’s always someone in every group of friends who can change the whole mood of the event and turn everything into a hilarious memory.
In this case, the lovely couple can use this picture for reference on their wedding night, if you know what we mean.
A Good Omen
This is one spectacular wedding photo that will most likely not be included in the album since the groom's face is completely blocked. An owl swooped down above the crowd during the wedding and photobombed the ceremony. Lucky for us, the photographer caught the exact moment when the bird flew at the same height as the groom's head, giving him the appearance of having an owl for a face. Who knows, maybe the groom is a wizard.
We know two things for sure: this is one fearless owl and one very talented photographer if we do say so ourselves.
Royally Annoyed
Photobombs can happen to anyone, even if that someone is royalty. Just ask Prince William and Kate Middleton - even they got photobombed on their special day! And by another member of the royal family, no less. Their cute little bridesmaid Grace Van Cutsem looked less than pleased to be there for the newlyweds' special balcony kiss. She doesn't care if it's a royal wedding; she just wants some peace and quiet!
We have to appreciate the innocence in some kids; even a royal child doesn't care what the adults around her think.
The Risks That Come With Water-Front Weddings
Some believe that committing to one person for the rest of your life is the greatest leap of faith; one worth taking if someone is willing to put love, patience, and time into their relationship. And maybe whoever officiated this gorgeous water-front wedding included something of the sort in their speech, which then inspired this wedding guest to take a leap of faith straight into the ocean.
Another (more relatable) explanation for this photobomb is that he tripped and fell and, unluckily for him, happened to be at the wrong place for that sort of stumble.
Those Cows Need to Get a Room
Getting married on a farm has many apparent risks, including dirt, country odors, and the occasional cowpat. But there are other risks that we never considered until now, such as having two animals mating in the background of your photos. And for this Ontario couple, their photoshoot will be remembered for a long time, thanks to what happened behind them. Those two cows clearly had some fun in the background.
The bride and groom posed lovingly in front of the barn and field as the photographer clicked away. And then those mischievous cows appeared to become a little restless in the background.
That's What We Call Horrible Timing
At first, it seems like Grandpa is a big fan of you know who! But when we look closer, we see that everyone is raising their arms the way he is. Except that everyone else is also holding an instrument, which fortunately turns this gesture into something else entirely. We're guessing grandpa just wanted to be a part of the fun, but the photo turned out far from how he expected.
We just hope this didn't cause any misunderstandings or drama among the wedding guests. This is one photobomb that could take a tragic turn.
We'll Pretend Those Look Like Tears of Happiness
Okay, let's all give our best explanations for what's going on in this photo. We've got a few options: the man in the back knows something about the bride or groom that no one else does (perhaps someone wasn't faithful at their bachelor party); the man in the background absolutely despises his loved one's choice in a partner and can't help but bawl during their special day; or, that face that looks like it's in deep pain is actually just crying tears of happiness.
It's probably (hopefully, for the couple) the last option. However, someone should've warned the photographer that this guy doesn't have a nice crying face.
Throwback to the "Planking Challenge" Trend
Remember when that planking challenge was trending on social media? If you don't, we'll give you a refresher: people all over the internet were posting photos of themselves planking anywhere and everywhere. And it looks like this couple chose quite the trendy priest to officiate their wedding since he ended up doing the planking challenge in the background of their photoshoot. The two newlyweds were so overwhelmed by their special moment that they didn't even notice.
We understand everyone has a right to have a good time, but our priest is the last person we want to photobomb at our wedding!
Special Guest Appearance By A Beluga Whale
Apparently, wedding couples frequently visit the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut to take photos in front of these massive sea creatures, and sometimes, they have their actual wedding ceremony there, too! However, this particular photo drew the attention of the internet since the whale appears to be quite involved in the ceremony. Maybe the beluga is the groom's best man or the bride's maid of honor. We're not eliminating any options.
Or maybe the beluga whale just loves to attend weddings. Always the bridesmaid/best man, never the bride/groom.
There's Always That One Wedding Guest Riding the Struggle Bus
“Dear couple, this is what you have to look forward to in your future.” Just kidding - having kids is obviously a magnificent experience, even if it comes with (many) stressful moments. But we can't help but chuckle at this hilarious photobomb. There's always that one parent at a wedding who's struggling at some point or another to keep their kids in control. This time, one of the children made it all the way to the altar for this hilarious shot.
The hero in this picture is obviously the dad who has bravely captured one child and is quickly grabbing the other.
The Trouble With Destination Weddings
Destination weddings: gorgeous beaches, beautiful views, bright sunshine, and nearly-naked strangers walking around. Yeah, that's the reality of it if you didn't already know. Just take the photo below as proof. This couple was happily posing with their family on their special day when a shirtless, speedo-wearing passerby casually (and slowly) strolled right into the frame. The bride's facial expression says it all; this is one moment none of them will forget.
We are glad the bride and groom and people around them laughed it out instead of getting frustrated about it.
We Guess They're a Throuple Now
Have you ever heard the story about the enraged llama who crashed a wedding and photobombed the bride and groom as they kissed? No? Don't worry, we'd never heard about it until today, either. Apparently, this lama was the groom's former pet, and the bride forced him to it give away. When the creature learned they were getting married, it couldn't hold back its anger any longer and showed up unannounced at the venue.
How do we know all of that? It's obvious - just look at the lama's face. It's staring angrily directly at the bride. Body language is everything, folks.
How Her Bridesmaid Actually Feels About Her Hubby
Anyone can accidentally become the star photobomber of a photo: a stranger, an enemy, even a best friend, especially if that best friend is the maid of honor at the wedding. It's practically impossible for the bridesmaid not to photobomb because she will be so close to the bride and groom on their special day. So that special loved one better make sure to put on a good face for the whole thing.
We have to give this bridesmaid props for trying. After all, she moved a few seats down to get out of this intimate shot's frame. But the photographer just couldn't help but capture her less-than-happy face.
Run Before It’s Too Late
Anyone who has witnessed the bouquet tossing at a wedding understands its significance. To put it simply, whoever catches it could be the next person to marry. At the very least, their odds are expected to improve significantly. So this makes the fact that the older lady photobombing this photo appears to be running away from that bouquet even funnier. Perhaps she’s already married and is not up for the second roller coaster ride.
Or maybe she already caught the bouquet when she was younger and knew what would unfold next.
The Ultimate Third Wheel
We love how this man knows he messed up big time. When someone tags along with a romantic couple, it is called being a third wheel. One man, however, took the concept to a whole new level when he literally rode his bicycle through a wedding shoot. He was simply driving to work and didn't notice the nicely dressed wedding guests on one side and the photographer on the other until it was too late. All that was left was a hilarious moment and a viral photo for life.
In his defense, he has the grace to have that facial expression that says, "Woops, sorry!" And he’s almost color-coordinated with the wedding party. He just needs a tie and pants, and he’s good to go for a group picture.
We'd Frame This One if It Was Ours
This is one photobomb that's not exactly safe for work if you know what we mean. We're not sure if this is a total stranger, a party guest, or the groom himself, but it certainly made us laugh. Perhaps it's the new husband, and he wanted to show his swimming skills to his wife. If so, he’s diving into unknown territory in water just like he’s diving into his married life.
We wish them good luck for their upcoming life that will be full of adventures, as we can see from this masterpiece.
The Odd One Out
It's no secret that children don't usually have the best time at weddings. The whole thing is a long affair, and at some point, they're bound to get hungry and tired. We're guessing that's exactly what happened to this little flower girl when the photo op with the bridesmaids got way too long. Her expressions say it all! The photo was intended to go in a different direction, and she probably should’ve been lovingly looking at the bridesmaids.
However, her look says something else along the lines of, “Why am I even here?" or "What am I supposed to do?”
Things Got off to a Stinky Start
Ever imagined getting photobombed by a cute little doggy? Ever imagined getting photobombed by a dog making a number two at your wedding? He is in the back, and it seems he photobombed the picture intentionally; just look at the way he looks at the camera! It looks like doggo doesn’t care about the wedding that’s happening right there. It's evident that the photographer chose to include the dog, or maybe that's just our evil minds at play.
The doggo’s eyes clearly say, “Hey, don’t look at me like that. When you got to go, you gotta go.”
Oh, the Magic of the City
What would anyone do if they come across a married couple having a romantic picture shoot on the street? That's right; they will take a break from whatever they were doing and photobomb the shoot. Whatever it is, we should quickly think of doing something out of the box! Like this guy, one can flex their muscles by doing a cartwheel or showing their flexibility. "Walk like an Egyptian," do a backflip, a moonwalk, pirouette, beat chest, or perform a star jump like this guy.
This looks like an impressively flexible man photobomb who got captured at the right time. Well, we are glad that someone is happy for the couple. He might be jumping out of joy after spotting someone deeply and madly in love. It looks like he even has a peace sign as well. Or perhaps he’s just posing for the camera.
There's Always That One Friend
It seems like photobombing, or this guy already planned to see their special moment like Peter Griffin from The Family Guy looks at his beer. Who knows, he could be related to Peter Griffin. Maybe he is the bride’s brother because that is such a little brother's move. Someone's not sleeping on the couch tonight. (Hint, the guy in the background was definitely sleeping on the couch after his girlfriend saw this).
We also love that the bride is not wearing a white gown. Maybe it is time we move past white and look at other colors.
Mark His Words: This Is a Mistake
We have seen countless videos of boys crying after finding out they'll have a new baby sister. They don't shed tears of joy; they just don't want a baby sister. But here, the boy is crying because he is clearly not happy with his mother getting married. He must be thinking, “First, I didn’t want sisters, and now I am getting a fully grown man. Why God, why?”
The adorable little girls are clearly quite happy about it. Then again, maybe this is just another case of a hungry and tired child.
"This Will Do," Thought the Dog
Some photobombs, like this one, aren't as classic as others. When this young girl decided to walk down the aisle on her wedding day, her pet dog Larry couldn't bear the thought of sharing her with someone else. He clung to her bridal dress train as tightly as he could, unable to let go of his owner. It looks like her dress is now his bed. Despite her admiration for the adorable dog, the bride-to-be was sure that she wanted to marry this man. Larry is unable to communicate, yet he gradually grasped the situation and diverted the attention quite successfully.
One person's wedding gown is another's blanket. Undoubtedly, dogs are loyal to humans way more than anyone else.
They Stole the Show
Weddings are meant to be the bride and groom's big day, but evidently, no one told it to the adorable Flower girl – she photobombed a newlywed photo shoot by forcefully trying to smooch the ring bearer. The photographer captured the moment perfectly on time. Well, the surprise kiss stole the limelight from parents, but we know that the kids learn by watching their parents, so maybe they would have expected that.
However, the little boy doesn't appreciate whatever is happening to him. It seems like the boy is going to cry anytime soon. The way she’s holding his head looks quite uncomfortable, so kiddo, we understand this feeling!
It’s A Photo Bum
This image is living proof that cats will be cats no matter what. The cat clearly thought, “Take aim & Fire!” Or the kitty just wanted some appreciation for the human for cleaning its butt so nicely. We love when animals photobomb; they cannot act it out like it is all-natural and worth watching. Perhaps the kitty is furious about something. Maybe it didn’t get the delicious wedding food. However, the picture was going to suck without the cat in it as the real prize is just right there with the kitty.
Cats do have a never-ending quest to show everyone their butts. Well, poor kitty, sorry that the couple spoiled your fantastic picture!
Stuck In The Middle
Here's what stuck in the middle looks like. This is one of those occasions when someone feels completely helpless, can't do anything, and just bides their time. His expressions say it all. He looks terrified by the thought of getting squeezed between his wife and mother-in-law. He would be looking for an escape, but maybe he must be liking it deep down! It’s just that the moment got captured at the right time, which clearly explains how he feels to be this badly stuck.
However, it looks like the picture before the crash. He must have wanted to tell his mother-in-law to maintain a little distance as it’s obvious it’s way too close.
Everyone Here's Just Too Cool for School
This is actually looking like a perfect photobomb. All the adults are in black and white, super serious, then the kid comes in, spreading happiness, all colorful and cheerful! We can say with no doubt that the kid's colorful entrance had made this photo an artistic piece and not just an accidental random photobomb. Well, a little touch of color never hurts. This little girl didn’t realize that she had scooted right into a very serious black-and-white wedding photoshoot. Now that picture can be used for a scooter advertisement.
However, most people don’t want anyone to photobomb their wedding and get all the limelight. But it won’t hurt if that photobomb spreads positivity and adds colors to their big day, which they can cherish for the rest of their lives.
The Ultimate Wedding Crasher
Photobombers can appear from the most unexpected places. Is it saying, “Hakuna Matata, no worries for the rest of your marriage? Maybe the meerkat is telling them to go on with their kissing as it will be the lookout. We think it is there to make sure no one takes the photos of the couple and is telling everyone, “No cameras, please, this is a private affair.” We love how the photographer focused on the little one instead of the couple.
Maybe the photographer should have focused on the bride and groom instead of the meerkat as they were enjoying their special moment.
Flower Girl Dresses are Pretty Overrated
Honestly, this is so cute. If we had Minnie Mouse undies, we would do the same thing. Kids always seek attention no matter what is happening around them. This flower girl doesn’t care about the wedding vows and the ceremony. All she wants is the world to see her funky undies. She looks so proud of her undies. We doubt the bride and groom knew Minnie Mouse would show up at their wedding! Maybe the little girl was feeling hot and couldn’t control her need to cool off.
However, she's trying to give the well-endowed bride a little competition. Frankly speaking, she got successful because people will definitely be focusing on her rather than the bride.
He Actually Looks Like He's Officiating the Wedding
It's all a matter of perception when it comes to photobombs. While we may believe that one party is being photobombed, the other "person" may be the one who is being targeted. This newlywed couple seems like taking the attention away from the beautiful chipmunk. He only wanted to sing his version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," but he couldn't. Or maybe just looking up in the sky, asking Lord for the food! Or most probably asking God about his partner! Well, who wants to see the couple when they can watch a cute squirrel posing so perfectly?
However, the couple can't have privacy even in the mountains, far from everyone. Or maybe the couple is photobombing him. There's no better way to get the most out of wedding photographs than by having a stunning view as the background. Still, it’s best to have such cute guests who would entertain everyone during the photo shoot.
Kids Will Be Kids
It looks like someone is bored of this wedding ceremony. But we are curious to know who he was making a face at? Or maybe he’s just flaunting his clean white teeth. Kids are adorable, and they make weddings fun with their mischievous acts, even though they get in trouble most of the time. Since this is such an emotional moment of taking wedding vows, the kid is trying to add some humor to it. Maybe he is not a fan of tears. Curious to know what he will become when he grows up?
This usually happens when an adult tries to stop the kid from doing anything or tries to tease them. So, we are wondering what he was up to!
The Wedding Roast
This wedding photobomb is quite relatable as it looks like the guinea fowl also chose her girl for the wedding just by holding her hand so gracefully. Look at that splendid flight, delightfully beautiful! That’s an amazing shot by the photographer, and we are happy to know that the animals do get enough attention at the wedding nowadays. Everyone should stop right there and admire this bird’s beauty and elegance.
The meaning of a photobomb is to ruin a photograph or get a click by unexpectedly getting into the photo intentionally or unintentionally. Still, sometimes the photobombs are way more hilarious than the original photo shoot, and this one takes the cake.
Bleh, They Are Sucking Each Other’s Faces Again
Take a look at this adorable photobomber who cannot stand the sight of love. While a lot of people think it is an old grumpy otherworldly creature, we're quite sure it's a cat. Maybe the camera reminded her of a milk saucer, and she couldn't resist licking the entire surface. Of course, the little kitty is unaware that her parents are getting married today. Is this not one of the funniest wedding shots ever?
The cat might be saying, “Kissing is nasty. Lickin’ butt is way better.” Maybe the kitty is making fun of the couple so that they can never forget this moment. However, we think this picture is perfect.
They Should Probably Start Running
Ever wondered about getting photobombed by a curious Bull! Some photobombs truly live up to their name, especially when it comes to the word "bomb." These surprise visits by special guests in our wedding photo albums can have explosive consequences. Look at this couple, who had to jump out of the way when an enraged bull charged at them. Even though the bull lacked horns, it must still be a horrible experience. It seems like the bull is going to run right into the butt of the groom. Poor man! We hope and pray that he went back home okay.
We are interested in looking at the rest of the photo series. However, it seems like 3 seconds before the disaster, or should we say the calm before the storm.
When He Said No Wedding Photos Without Him, He Meant It
The little puppy also wanted to be in the shot as well. No doubt it made the picture look the best. The puppy has a better sense of photography than the photographer. Without the puppy there, half of the picture would be on the floor. It looks like a typical Cavalier; they think they're more important than anyone else. Or maybe the little one is also a part of the bride-maids tribe, so he is rightly in the frame. Well, now the bride can admire this cutest photobomb ever.
We feel the sadness in the doggo’s eyes. After all, dogs are pretty much attached to their owners and are never ready to share them with anyone else.
Meet Our Special Wedding Guest
“I now pronounce you Man and Wife. You may kiss the bride and give me some fish to eat.” Is there a more romantic place for a Scottish wedding than in front of a sentient creature? On this historic day, Scottish men traditionally wear the famous kilt. When this couple was photobombed by the cutest dolphin (or most probably it’s a beluga whale), their special day got a new dose of happiness. It must be lovely to have such a special guest visit their wedding.
Just look at the bright smile of this big bundle of joy. Well, this couple got married at an aquarium in Edinburgh, and they wouldn’t have expected such a beautiful surprise; their day couldn’t have been better!
Who Can Focus on the Wedding When This Cutie's Around?
Aww, here is a cute kitten photobomber. It seems like the kitten is saying, "This looks like a fancy party; I love fancy parties! Can I sit at the head table?” Cats are way too adorable, and they are just so pure in their actions. Maybe the couple should adopt this cute kitty. Now it’s in the picture and is a part of their family, so perhaps they can take it home.
It looks like a stray kitten. We just hope someone adopted this cutie pie. We always say one thing: Adopt, don’t shop.
