Weddings are always important and eventful, but we’re pretty sure wedding photographer Leslie Hollingsworth didn’t think her photo shoot on this particular day would be quite so dramatic.

While setting up a bridal party group shot, Hollingsworth stepped into the road and nearly got hit by a passing car. The Birmingham, Ala., photographer also happened to capture the moment in the faces of the wedding party.

The various looks of shock, dismay, and confusion, among other expressions, across the faces of the group were so intriguing, Hollingsworth couldn’t help sharing the picture on Facebook and on the local news.

“I thought it was hysterical,” Hollingsworth told WBRC news in Birmingham. “Everybody’s reaction was so different. The girls were horrified, the boys were like, ‘What just happened?’”

The bride and groom, Leah Juliano and Peter Saab, were the only ones who seemed to maintain composure. “The couple is pretty much just standing there in picture mode,” Hollingsworth said.

Thankfully, Hollingsworth is alive and well to help explain the photo. If not for her, based on most of the looks on friends’ and family members’ faces — and despite the couple’s cheery expressions — one might not think this marriage was destined for happy times.
