Here�s an unusual wedding photography fail: Chase Richardson was photographing a wedding party last year when he accidentally slipped on a puddle. As he tumbled to the ground, his finger pressed his camera�s shutter button and captured this photo of the party�s expressions as they watched the disaster unfolding before their eyes.
The Jackson, Mississippi-based photographer of followell fotography was shooting the wedding at the Mcclain Lodge in Mississippi back on June 21, 2014.
�It had been raining all morning so I ended up photographing the wedding party under this covered slab of concrete basically,� Richardson tells PetaPixel. �There were puddles everywhere, and when I took a step back to get ready for the photo I just� slipped and fell. Pretty embarrassing.�
The fall broke the camera lens Richardson was using and cut his finger open. It wasn�t until he loaded his photos onto a computer that Richardson noticed this photograph among the others from the day.
A closer look at the expressions.
The photograph has since gone viral online after being shared by Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
