Your wedding day is the kind of thing you want to remember forever. And the easiest way to relive it is through photos, which is why people care so much about getting good ones.

But to be memorable, photos don’t always have to be good. In fact, they can be pretty much the opposite.

Below, we’ve rounded up a collection of hilariously awkward wedding pictures that are unforgettable for all the wrong reasons—scroll down and see which ones make you laugh out loud.

    Cirque Du Wedding

    Bride and groom posing awkwardly on large balls with two performers in yellow body suits on stage, awkward wedding photos.

    In 1995, my husband and I eloped to Las Vegas to get married. Cirque du Soleil was just starting in Vegas at the time. Since we had a quick wedding and not many photos, we decided to get this epic wedding photo taken at our hotel. I do not regret a thing.

    Reach Out And Touch

    Bride in wedding dress holding bouquet by window while person outside creates an awkward wedding photo moment.

    I photographed my sister-in-law’s wedding. I knew the window overlooked a part of the hotel’s roof, but I didn’t notice the workers until after I snapped a few pictures. When I got home and downloaded all the pictures, I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this.

    This Picture Is Of My Sister-In-Law’s Wedding. Her 4-Year-Old Son, The Ring Bearer Lying On The Floor In The Middle Of The Frame

    Young boy lying on the floor during a formal wedding ceremony, creating an awkward wedding photo moment.

    He was originally sitting by the pastor and the flower girl, but then he stood up and pretended to die (in dramatic fashion with more sound effects). The kid’s foot was banging steadily on the hollow, wooden stairs, and the sound was reverberating throughout the small church. I’m so glad I had my camera ready.
