Special occasions call for a special kind of photographer, and few occasions are more special than your wedding day. You do, after all, only get one of them (well, that's the idea anyway) and so the photographer needs to capture anything and everything as perfectly as possible in order to preserve your perfect day. It's a big responsibility, and as you can see, some people take that responsibility very seriously indeed! Compiled by Bored Panda, this behind-the-scenes look at the world of wedding photography reveals the hard work and dedication that goes into taking the perfect wedding picture.

All I can think is, "How the F*** did they get up there and more importatnly, WHY?!?"
the couple are probably rock climbers themselves.

Amazing shot, but I wouldn't want to be the bride, the groom, the photographer, or the photographer photographing the photographer!!!
Yes, but how did they get up there? And without ruining those clothes? Does the North Face make wedding gear?
In that shot...that's the point. In others they look romantic and still others smiling for the camera.

Bad symbolism - the wedding looks like there will be no room to move. Its a dangerous symbol.
MANY new Hampshire couples do this shot with Jay & Victoria Philbrick. It is one of the most coveted shots of all....if you dare. And many couples DO dare to do it. They look fabulous, these finished photos. Jay Philbrick will go to any length to make a wedding photo you will never see anywhere else. He's a super pro that I have had the privilege of working with as a florist many times.

Breaking...couple plummet to their deaths attempting the Perfect wedding portrait.
What do you mean you want more than $200 for shooting my wedding? All you're doing is pressing a button!
What do you mean the photographer is crazy?? I think the couple take the first ticket!
Its not even the photographer I'm worried about in this one, how the f*ck did the bride and groom get up there dressed like that? Also no safety gear while up in a freaking cliff ledge in a big poufy wedding dress? Really?
The bride and groom are rock climbers and there was a huge group of people helping make this a reality. I remember this coming up a few times in some photography groups.
Actually, they are not rock climbers. We lure them down from the top took the photos and then haul them back up when we are done.

If the photographer had to rappel down...how in the world did the bride & groom get to that ledge?
Do you know the vary-i viewfinder, this may help making these magnificent pictures. See www.vary-i.com
Did you already discover the vary-i viewfinder, can help making these beautiful pictures a little bit easier. See www.vary-i.com
That photographer did not take that final photo from the vantage point shown in the first photo.
The photo could have been done from the ground with a long lens. This is making a show for the show.
Being a photographer's assistant isn't all its CRACKED up to be hehehe
Nope. Not taking my gajillion dollar camera into the surf. Unless the couple is paying for its replacement!
Some of these people must have serious money to go getting their wedding dress all wet in ponds, lakes and ocean surf.
Well am guessing the bride removed her mask briefly for the final shot once set up.
You can tell this shot was an awesome one. But I sure do wish we could see the final one.
Chairs, ledges, very little escapes the "I need height for the shot" list that we photographer will climb up.
This bouquet has its own photographers, and I can't even get a text back
This is probably a pretty shot. Notice how at least one of the bridesmaids is holding her dress tight....no peeking....lol. ; )
Bet this one turned out great too. Apparently to see any finished wedding photos I'll have to google "Wedding photos".
Never considered using incense for smoke before.... Bet it's cheaper than smoke bombs too!
Considering the other photographers' extreme poses, I would never choose to wear white as a photographer :D
I love this. I was never filthier than when I was doing photography. I love that this series shows what lengths a good photographer will go to in order to get that one sweet shot that just would not happen otherwise.
I'm a wedding photographer in Western Australia. I've smashed my shin on a barely visible bench at dawn once (and jumped over it somehow so save myself), stood on bins, fences and wobbly tables, climbed trees, walked barefoot on sharp rocks and many more... Lying on the ground is softcore ;) I'll do whatever it takes to get a great shot :)
God, I hope none of these couples get divorced, their photographers will kill them!
Or the phototographer gets two new clients when they re-marry.

These photos just go to show that good wedding photographers will go to great lengths to make sure their clients get the shots they deserve! There are some great photos above. For more great wedding photos check out www.GrandLensPhotography.com
I love how staged and fake these are not to be a pessimist but looks like all you need is a puddle somewhere and you can take wedding photos lol
a puddle, a couple of grand's worth of gear a little training and a buttload of experience

I've had to double check - but my sisters wedding is #1. I've just showed her this post and she can't believe it. They are still just as happy as they appear in the picture.
Stunning wedding images and thanks to the photographers for their efforts.

Hard Work? Really!? Photography is not hard work. Framing a house, digging for coal , running a marathon is hard work. Cliche photography anyway. Corn ball stuff. Nice but corn ball.
with the possible exeption of the cliff the rest are rather standard through out the photography spectrum
how to be a crackerjack wedding photographer: 1. get low down on the ground, preferably in mud or something unpleasant. 2. Climb up something tall. Bonus points for hanging precariously over a precipice.
I can't believe how many brides are willing to get their dresses soaked 😱
Love the pictures they turned out mad.. How much for one of these guys for a he and do they only do wedding photos
This is how we photographers work. We're lying in the mud, climbing the trees, standing on the edge of a cliff, just to get the perfect picture :)
It could have been captured using a low tripod tethered to a computer screen. Just notice the actual scene, he has shot himself !
Some of the pictures looked awesome. I admire the length that photographers are willing to go to get that perfect shot. That being said, I wish we saw more of the "after" photos. Having started this list with seeing the "results" photos then not showing any more was disappointing. They shouldn't have even been here.
Totally agree with you there. I was hoping to see the shot that was created by the odd looking positioning of the couples or the photographer themselves

How come most of these look like asian photographers and bride and groom? Is it just asians that are that "crazy" to do that type of photography? lol
Hmmm just wandering about how come so many of them are Asian ????????????
Some actions show good work of photographers. The rest dont make them look crazy at all.
