I had no idea how many strange things happened under brides' dresses. But this woman crawling out from underneath was pretty strange and funny and the angle to catch it perfect. The photographer took a funny moment and made an excellent photo. Many entries in this category shot fun moments but failed to make them great. The low angle and good crop make this a fun, well-executed photo.

Great composition and if you aren't laughing when you see this photo, I wonder about your sense of humor! This may be a little lowbrow, but it's still funny! It really adds to the humor because the couple seems to be oblivious.

This fantastic image quickly rose to the top. The rock almost looks artificial (out of a star trek set). The groom's expression and body are fantastic as is the bride's holding her bouquet and beverage. Great moment and well composed. I assume the subjects were taking a break from a portrait session but the photographer stayed on task. Excellent job

This is a fun, unexpected moment. The bride's reaction is also great. Very nice

Granny sound asleep with her shoes off is cute. It's not a complex picture but a funny moment that the family will be laughing about for a long time.

A goofy moment with really nice light. I like the playfulness. The composition also works really well – it wouldn't be as good without the on-looker and folks in the background.

Excellent composition. Shooting the boy's bottom through the man's legs alone would be a fun photo but the girl makes it great

Nice simple composition is the key to this image during this bathroom break. There were a number of men urinating in odd places in this group of pictures. But this one is nice because of the group of men standing in a row with the little boy looking to his elders for a cue. Then there's always the question about what the heck is under those kilts anyhow. Good composition, nice moment.

Brides make a lot of strange faces but this is the only one I saw licking her husbands cup. The two look so formal that her behavior is very odd. Good catch by the photographer

Pretty good for a photo booth shot. These people look almost identical. It adds to the humor

There were a number of pictures of people having a hard time being lifted up on chairs. But this one actually made me laugh. The man looks pretty freaked out. Funny moment.

Very spontaneous moment of a bridesmaid helping the bride with (I'm guessing) the positioning of her bra and dress. The expression on both of them adds strength to the image.

Now that's a story telling moment. Great job by the photographer to follow the groomsmen to the convenience store. I recognize that it was a fleeting moment but it could be better composed. As it is, a crop from the top to eliminate the florescent lights would help.

The groom has a sweet expression as he reacts to baby ducklings. Wish the background had been a little more out of focus so it wasn't so distracting.

I think the bride's face makes me laugh. I also like how the groom's face is cut off – it sends my eye down to the sign. Funny
