Baton Rouge Wedding Photographer and Videographer
Weddings are emotion-filled experiences. First comes the excitement of getting engaged, then the rush of wedding planning, and then love and tenderness fill the air when the day arrives. Couples experience romance, elation, and laughter on their wedding day. Whether you need some giggles to release nerves or you’re so happy you can’t help but get a little goofy, there are plenty of opportunities to let funny moments unfold. And why not? Let silliness reign during this joyous occasion!
Our roundup of good-humored photos from talented photographers will encourage you to let the good times roll as your Marc Shaw Photography documents it all. Some may even inspire you to pre-plan with props, motivating guests—from your wedding party to family, and you and your partner—to err on the side of lightheartedness.
Ahead, 20 funny wedding pictures that are sure to make you smile.
A Pre-Ceremony Dance Party
Sometimes a groom needs to work a humorous angle before he can see his fiancée. Such was the case for this groom during his Chinese tea ceremony, who had to complete certain challenges (also referred to as “door games”) before he was allowed to see his bride.
We bet when his groomsmen signed on for the job they weren’t aware they’d need two outfits for the day: suits and grass skirts, complete with coconut bikini tops. The photographer captured this silly moment as they participated in a choreographed dance number.

Funny Faces
Everyone wants to look and feel their best on their wedding day; a huge part of that is being you. Dressing up in traditional Indian wedding attire for this couple’s equally traditional Indian wedding ceremony was all the more reason for them to let their playful selves show. Making silly faces at one another was a way they inserted their personalities into a day filled with rituals.

An Unexpected Wedding Guest
You never know when an unexpected wedding guest might show up. While the photographer was outside capturing this bride before her first look with her groom, the craziest character arrived: Batman. Rather than ask him to step out of the picture, they all recognized a golden photo opportunity and asked him to join in on the fun. Who else can say they had Batman randomly show up on their wedding day? While some surprise guests are unwelcome, others should be greeted with open arms, if only for a moment.

Parade in the Streets
This couple was walking down a cobblestone street in lower Manhattan when the groom decided to jump into his husband’s arms. Sometimes the joy literally moves you! As something they do all the time, they couldn’t resist having their photographer spontaneously capture it during their wedding day.

Part of the Band
A bride and groom can’t help but radiate joy to others as they walk through the streets of a city to take photos for their day. This couple was walking through the streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown when they were spotted by a Chinese band playing string instruments. Lo and behold, they had room for two impromptu bandmates. When they asked the couple to come play, they gleefully obliged!

Poolside Poses
When you realize how precious each moment is, you don’t want to waste a minute. In a photo that truly represents the couple, the photographer captured the groom snacking on a burger while his bride waited for him to finish so they could take additional wedding day photos. The groom shared he’s always eating and his bride is commonly dancing (and waiting) by his side.

The Cutest Photo Crasher
This couple proves that the only thing you can control is yourself. They flew from Australia to New York City for their elopement and were taking photos on Pebble Beach in Brooklyn. Imagine their surprise when a torrential downpour arrived, unexpectedly soaking them and a child running by. They were having so much fun, however, they just kept laughing.

Cat Cuddles
It’s common to see dogs at weddings, especially if the bride or groom’s beloved pooch is a part of the ceremony or portraits. But what about the felines? One of the perks of having a small wedding at home was that this couple’s cat, Kitty Purry, could attend.

Mid-Ceremony Giggles
Encouragement from their photographer to be playful, even during a formal ceremony, is the only permission this couple needed to show their amusement. They may have been in the midst of their Korean Paebaek ceremony but when the mood struck, they couldn’t contain their affection. This groom loved on his bride so much with his hug, he squeezed the laughter out of her.

The Leg Pop
Not only is this wedding party cheering on their best friends, but the best man deserves a prize for his extra support. Kudos to a groom who will do the “foot pop” when his bride’s dress doesn’t allow it. And to friends who will help hold your foot high as you kiss your spouse!

Balloon Toss
Just because wedding photos are considered “stills,” doesn’t mean you have to stand still. The emoji inflatable balls that were scattered on the dance floor were gathered up by the wedding party, who playfully hurled them at the photographer when he asked how hard they could throw them.
