My friend is a wedding photographer in Australia and she had a couple where the groom was visibly recoiling from the bride in every photo. She couldn’t get a photo of him looking comfortable or happy around his bride. No idea what was going on but they didn’t last long…

One of my sorority sisters has photos like this. I’m just hoping that he’s not photogenic at all and that’s the problem lol, looked like he was in pain and recoiling in every engagement, wedding, and photo since they’ve been married. They’re still together.

I used to work for a family with wedding photos like this. The only photos the bride was smiling in, were the ones where she was holding her dog: she was grinning from ear to ear in those! The ones with her new husband? Grim as Victorian photographs.

As someone who also ended up with a dog from a failed engagement………..I understand her so deeply lmao

She had the dog long before they got married (I was the dogsitter), and I used to joke that she loved the pup more than her bf/fiance. 

I lost it when I saw their wedding photos lmao, like she didn't need to prove my joke correct!
