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.

    That's what happens with a backlit scene and concentrated flash and a good photographer who knows their stuff. Some of us were good BEFORE photoshop was invented.

    This is a hell of a photo. The togger did well to see and plan this in his/her mind and execute the final product. Knowing how to use his/her kit to get the desired shot says a lot also (small aperture to get the shot dark and to get the sun to starburst using the aperture blades. I do this frequently. To whoever said it was a fake moment....how? The couple are in love. They're just married and they're looking at each other lovingly. It's real nice. What's fake there? Sometimes you have to really look for shots in venues that lack stunning settings and that's where a good photographer becomes a great one.

    I have a hard time accepting this one. In the top photo, the building is almost directly behind them, albeit behind trees. In the bottom photo, the shadow to the right of them is very much building-like and much closer.

    You have to understand how lighting & correct exposure works to create the picture you see. Too many uneducated ppl instantly assume photoshop & fakery.

    Can you explain how the sun is in a different position and the trees have shrunk? its a different image captured in a different area or its photo-shopped.

    The end result is completely different from his shot on the street. I wonder why he did not ask the couple to go to his studio in order to make the same end shot- ??
