Take a Break for Wedding Photo Humor at its Best

July 2, 2020

By Jacqueline Tobin

Blair deLaubenfels, owner and publisher of World’s Best Wedding Photos, curates photographs from, as the name says, the world’s best wedding photographers. “We have constantly growing galleries with hilarious, sweet, compelling and mind-blowing work that I am always excited to share,” she says. Fun and silly wedding photo humor picks selected by deLaubenfels doesn’t get any better than the one below (and featured in the gallery above.)

With 22 years of experience in the photo industry, first as a wedding photographer in 1999 and then as the founder of Junebug Weddings in 2006 (she sold the popular wedding photography blog to investors in 2014), deLaubenfels knows the genre inside out and has a way of making anyone and everyone fall in love with wedding photography.

Recently, she shared a post of 20 hilarious and silly wedding images on Bored Panda—from crazy party shots to hilarious antics, both spontaneous and planned, from some of the world’s best wedding photographers. “Some of the funniest things in the world happen at weddings,” she explains. “And now, while we all wait for large gatherings and celebrations to return, everyone can use a good laugh.”

This image shown here, by The Brenizers—Tatiana and Ryan—is not only funny, but also a perfect example of how the photo duo always try to match the feeling of a photo shoot to the situation and personality of the couple.

“This couple always has an incredible amount of fun together and a strong sense of play, so we knew we could do more than just traditional beauty shots,” Tatiana explains. Which is why on a stroll in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, Tatiana saw this perfect and quirky red door in a building on Henry Street and after a bit of imploring and explanation, got a resident to let her in. She then set up remote strobe lighting inside and out to bring out the clean, vibrant color of the door and the tiles.

“Photos like these are 1/10th technical and 9/10ths people skills,” adds Tatiana, “both in creating an environment comfortable enough for your clients’ inner sense of fun to come out on camera, and in letting people in not-always-easygoing New York City accommodate the things needed to take the shot.”
