The subject didn’t think this was a particularly funny moment, but it is one of the best candid moments of this series. You never know just what will make a photograph. Better be in position and hope that one comes along.

Can't we all just get along? The cat-dog confrontation seems so out of place, but the bride appears to find it humorous so we'll assume there was no fight and all ended happily. Catching the quirky moment was a good job of seeing and reaction by the photographer.

You can't beat a moment like this. There are great expressions on both the bride and groom.

There's a great timeless element to this photo that is really appealing and adds to its absurdity. I love all the hands moving my eye around the frame.

Almost a weather photograph, but the expression of the groom’s face makes this a winner. You never know when a prize-winning picture will happen. You must be on your game all of the time.

This is funny because you never get to see a bride in such an unflattering way.

This boy's body language is priceless. The finger on the mouth and tummy arch made me laugh out loud. Just a simple image of a great moment.

Bunny ears are classic. They always work for a laugh.

If dogs could talk they might verbally abuse their owners for sometimes making them look silly. Nonetheless, the dog's casual stroll past the dais is good for a chuckle. (Cropping out the woman on the left might make the picture even more effective.)

This photo of the bride and groom sneaking a kiss in the elevator is very funny. It is impromptu and a nice surprise.

There's no laugh out loud joke here; the picture instead captures the quiet humor of kids being kids. The picture, indeed, is rather elegant while at the same time amusing.

This photograph is spontaneous and different. At least, the bride finds humor in the cat enjoying her wedding dress.

Quick thinking and timing makes this a winner. It also tells a great deal about the subject and will be just one part of the wedding day story.

Never underestimate the power of the bizarre. I have no idea what this image is about and that's why I love it. Seeing a bald man's head with a tattoo of someone mowing the lawn (I think) is definitely surprising. The clean, straight on composition really adds to it.

One can rarely go wrong photographing a headless bride; in this case the visual trick is quietly funny as the hapless heroine walks calmly through an otherwise ordinary and stately scene.

The photographer captured the funny side of a boy getting his hair done. This is a keeper.
