At a rustic wedding, the couple had arranged for a horse - drawn carriage. When it was time for the photo with the carriage, the horse decided to relieve itself right there. The expressions on the couple's faces were priceless. The photographer managed to capture that moment of shock and amusement, and those pictures are now a unique part of their wedding album.
A very common one is bad editing. For example, the photographer over - softened the skin to the point where the couple looked like plastic dolls. Another is the wrong settings used, like a very low shutter speed which made all the action shots blurry. And sometimes, the photographer just has a really bad sense of composition and the pictures end up looking really unappealing.
Sure. There was this one wedding where the groom's little nephew decided to photobomb every single shot. He would run into the frame making silly faces right when the photographer was about to click. It made for some really hilarious pictures in the end.
There's a story of a street photographer. He was taking pictures in a busy city street when a mime artist decided to interact with him. The mime started imitating the photographer's every move as he took pictures of different people. The resulting series of photos were really funny, with the mime in the background doing the exact same actions as the photographer.
There was a case where the photographer seemed professional at first. But when the couple got the photos back, half of them were out of focus. Turns out the photographer's equipment was faulty, but he didn't check properly before the shoot. It was a disaster as those pictures were supposed to be cherished memories for a lifetime.
There are several horror stories. For example, an amateur photographer didn't have enough memory cards. Mid - way through the wedding, the card got full and they had to start deleting old pictures to make room for new ones. This led to some precious moments being lost. Also, some amateurs don't communicate well with the couple. They might miss out on specific shots the couple really wanted, like a photo with a particular family member. And then there are those who don't understand the flow of a wedding. They end up in the wrong place at the wrong time and miss key events.
There was this wedding where the DJ accidentally played a really inappropriate song during the first dance. Instead of getting angry, the couple just started doing a really goofy dance to it. They made it into a funny moment and everyone joined in. The song was like a hard rock anthem instead of a romantic ballad. But it turned out to be a great memory for all. There was so much laughter and joy in the air that it didn't matter that it was the wrong song.
There are photography books that tell the story of street photography. For example, Henri Cartier - Bresson's works. His 'decisive moment' concept is a story in itself. His photos in the book captured the essence of a moment, whether it was a person's expression or a fleeting event on the street, giving a unique perspective on urban life.
A memorable one was when the father of the bride started his speech by saying he had been preparing for this day since the bride was born, but he never expected to be so emotional. Then he told a story about how as a little girl, the bride used to put a veil on their dog and pretend it was her groom. It was really cute and funny.
A funny incident occurred when the bride's veil got caught in a fan during the wedding. As the fan was on, it started twirling the veil around and around. The bride was panicking a bit, but her bridesmaids quickly turned off the fan and managed to untangle the veil. This unexpected event provided a lot of laughter during the wedding. The whole thing was like a comical scene from a movie. Everyone still talks about it.
A memorable one was when the ring bearer fell asleep during the ceremony. He was holding the rings on a pillow and just dozed off right there in the front. When it was time for the rings, everyone had to gently wake him up. It was quite a sight and had the whole congregation laughing softly.
