This may be one of the most dangerous wedding photo ideas you’ll ever see. For a recent shoot in Iceland, wedding photographer CM Leung decided to have a helicopter fly right over a bride’s head for a one-of-a-kind photo.
The bride managed to hold her serene pose just long enough for Leung to capture the photo above, but the powerful downdraft knocked her off balance just a moment later:
It was a “dangerous shot,” Leung says, saying it was the first time he has felt such danger during a shoot. Here’s a clip of the crew reviewing the shot on the Sony a7R II afterward:
“Whoa. That was close. That really was very close,” they can be heard saying in the video.
Leung has been voted one of the top wedding photographers in the world and one of the top 10 in China and Hong Kong.
Here’s a 2-minute behind-the-scenes video of the day’s shoot (including the clip you see above):
Needless to say, even if you have a helicopter and a fearless bride at your disposal, this probably isn’t a wedding photo idea you should try yourself.
