  • You know, as beautiful a creature as an elephant is, it looks like a pain in the butt to ride. This image aptly portrays the ungainly quirkiness of climbing on top of a multi-ton creature. Yet, with the aid of three others, this bride steps on the elephant’s massive head to assume her place as an Asian Queen for the day. The photo tells more than one story.

  • I've got to admit that an elephant at a wedding has got to be a rare event. A nice moment of a the hug by the Pachyderm towards the groom or groomsman. A clear winner, this picture rose to the top immediately. Not every day you see an elephant at a wedding first of all but the photographer captured such a great moment and a wonderful expression. This is an unexpected wedding moment. The photograph makes me want to know more. Great moment between man and elephant. A surprise photo.
