TRENDING: Groom sting by Snake While on an Adventure to Snap Wedding Photo

An adventure wedding photographer in Colorado has while taking a photoshoot session with a couple, caught the moments bite a groom as he was posing for photos with his bride.

Speaking about the incident, the Photographer identified as Maddie Mae said: “I often wade through the chest-high water, hike into jungles in Costa Rica, or go on 10-mile hikes with couples on their wedding day. I would never have guessed that my only indoor church wedding this year, in my hometown, would actually become the biggest adventure, and my craziest wedding story to date."

According to a report by NewYork Post, the couple known as Johnny and Laura Benson were walking by Horsetooth Reservoir near Fort Collins, just about 50 feet from a parking lot last weekend when the snake bit the groom in the ankle. They were about taking an adventurous wedding shoot.

“All of a sudden it was like someone kicked me in the shin. Then I looked over and saw the snake sitting there, and it was rattling,” he told the Denver Post.

The photographer said they shouted out to a park ranger, but he clearly didn’t hear them. He simply yelled back, “Congratulations!”

Eventually, he stopped by and helped the groom keep his leg elevated before paramedics could arrive. The bride rode along in the ambulance to the hospital. And Maddie Mae snapped away with her camera.

She said doctors determined the snake didn’t inject any venom. Since it was pretty clear the bride and groom had a reception to attend, hospital staffers got them in and out quickly.

Naturally, the couple was late to the reception but only by an hour or so.

“I’ve never seen such a emotional ‘grand entrance’ as all 184 guests cheered when Johnny & Laura walked in, and showered them in a sea of passionate hugs. I admire Laura & Johnny so much for staying calm, and holding each other’s hand through the first great test of their brand new marriage,” Maddie Mae wrote. Laura Benson called the whole experience “pretty epic.”

Now that the bride and groom have the photos, they probably won’t forget the experience anytime soon. One picture showed the park ranger elevating the husband’s leg. Another showed the bride in her wedding dress approaching the ambulance.
