Couples start screening and shortlisting wedding photographers months ahead of their wedding because they want a perfect storybook-like wedding album. And, why not? It is the day that marks the beginning of a new chapter in their life!
While most shots make you go ‘aww’, there are lucky few that are not only outstanding, but also jaw-dropping because of a surreal element attached to it. Well, these can either be manipulated through photoshop and after-effects or can naturally drop into the lap on the wedding day. So, we decided to showcase some of the photographs that went viral for all the right reasons. Check those out!

Jason's better half, Katie Young, too loved the concept and enthusiastically agreed to be a part of this whacky idea! While preparing for the shot (obviously without the real T-Rex), Quinn told everyone, “Run right at the camera, away from the T-Rex, as passionately as you can. I need to see fear and actual running, not lame faces and power walking.” Jason and Katie’s friends gave their best and made the photograph stand out with their real life, priceless expressions– proof of which is the above photograph!
Well, here is another such Jurrasic Park-inspired wedding photo that we found on Reddit.
In this photograph, the photoshop has been done by the groom himself!
