A wedding is one of the most important moments of a person’s life, and couples treasure their official wedding photos for decades to come. Occasionally, a photobomber steps in to put an interesting spin on a couple’s wedding photos, and that’s exactly what happened in these hilarious images!

Luke and Tristan Karshagen are a married couple from the Eastern Cape town of East London, South Africa. They decided to get married on a beautiful sunny day, surrounded by a lush landscape.

After the wedding, Luke and Tristan had their official wedding photos snapped at a Game Reserve at the Areena Riverside Resort. There, they were photobombed by an unlikely intruder who was not even human!

“We got photobombed by this beautiful, gentle giant during the wedding. He just walked up to us and was so inquisitive, hanging around for a good 20 minutes,” they recalled.

Luke and Tristan were shocked when the giraffe poked his head over the trees to see what they were doing.

“We were all really excited and stopped what we were doing so we could watch him,” they said. “The excitement quickly turned to nerves when he gracefully walked over the trees and straight into the area where we were taking photos.”

“In that moment we all just sort of scattered, bridesmaids one side into the bushes, groomsmen down the path and Luke, Tristan and I were just standing in the middle watching him,” the photographer explained.

Soon, the group realized that the giraffe was really just a gentle giant!

The entire wedding party quickly started snapping photos with the friendly giraffe!

“I was hoping to just get a photo with this beautiful giant in the background, but then he gave me even more than I could imagine by dropping his head and giving them a little nuzzle,” the photographer explained. “It was the most incredible moment, and I think every single one of us was holding our breath. He then let Luke and Tristan give him a little cuddle, before turning and walking off down the pathway.”

This giraffe certainly made their wedding one to remember! We wish this couple, and their giraffe friend, the best of luck!
