Wedding Photographer Captures Owl ‘Attacking’ Best Man

UK wedding photographer Stacey Oliver was photographing a castle wedding ceremony earlier this month when an owl was brought out to bring the rings down the aisle. Things didn’t exactly go according to plan, resulting in a series of very memorable wedding photos.

The bride and groom, Jeni Arrowsmith and Mark Wood, had decided to use a trained owl as their ring bearer as a surprise for their guests during the ceremony at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England, on March 17th.

At first, the owl did its job well: it obediently flew from the trainer to the gloved hand of one of the wedding’s two best men.

But after a few seconds of fluttering while the best man tried to get the take from the owl, the owl noticed a seated man pointing at it with an outstretched arm. So, it did what it was trained to do: fly to the arm.

The owl dove at the second best man seated nearby who, unfortunately, is terrified of birds. That best man fell off his chair in surprise, causing a roar of laughter from the entire room.

It’s “one picture I’ll never forget taking,” Oliver writes. The entire incident was also captured by a nearby video camera:

After everyone had a good laugh, the beautiful wedding ceremony resumed.

These photos have since gone viral, making both national UK and international news. You can find more of Oliver’s work on her website.
