Special occasions call for a special kind of photographer, and few occasions are more special than your wedding day. You do, after all, only get one of them (well, that's the idea anyway) and so the photographer needs to capture anything and everything as perfectly as possible in order to preserve your perfect day. It's a big responsibility, and as you can see, some people take that responsibility very seriously indeed! Compiled by Bored Panda, this behind-the-scenes look at the world of wedding photography reveals the hard work and dedication that goes into taking the perfect wedding picture.

How did they even get up there? No dirt, no hair out of place. Helicopter?

Amazing shot, but I wouldn't want to be the bride, the groom, the photographer, or the photographer photographing the photographer!!!

Yes, but how did they get up there? And without ruining those clothes? Does the North Face make wedding gear?

Bad symbolism - the wedding looks like there will be no room to move. Its a dangerous symbol.

MANY new Hampshire couples do this shot with Jay & Victoria Philbrick. It is one of the most coveted shots of all....if you dare. And many couples DO dare to do it. They look fabulous, these finished photos. Jay Philbrick will go to any length to make a wedding photo you will never see anywhere else. He's a super pro that I have had the privilege of working with as a florist many times.

I see they lost the best man and bridesmaids then! This must be a set up not a real wedding!

Its not even the photographer I'm worried about in this one, how the f*ck did the bride and groom get up there dressed like that? Also no safety gear while up in a freaking cliff ledge in a big poufy wedding dress? Really?

I wonder how the couple went up there in the first place without ripping any parts of their clothes?

The bride and groom are rock climbers and there was a huge group of people helping make this a reality. I remember this coming up a few times in some photography groups.

Actually, they are not rock climbers. We lure them down from the top took the photos and then haul them back up when we are done.

That photographer did not take that final photo from the vantage point shown in the first photo.

The photo could have been done from the ground with a long lens. This is making a show for the show.

I just had to think about the poisonous spiders, snakes... Isn't it risky to lay there?

Nope. Not taking my gajillion dollar camera into the surf. Unless the couple is paying for its replacement!

Artificial shots...stunning pictures but probably not the moments to remember.

Some of these people must have serious money to go getting their wedding dress all wet in ponds, lakes and ocean surf.

You can tell this shot was an awesome one. But I sure do wish we could see the final one.

Chairs, ledges, very little escapes the "I need height for the shot" list that we photographer will climb up.

This is probably a pretty shot. Notice how at least one of the bridesmaids is holding her dress tight....no peeking....lol. ; )

Bet this one turned out great too. Apparently to see any finished wedding photos I'll have to google "Wedding photos".

Never considered using incense for smoke before.... Bet it's cheaper than smoke bombs too!

Considering the other photographers' extreme poses, I would never choose to wear white as a photographer :D

Yeah, but that pampas grass in the background. That's going to make an outstanding backdrop.
