A few days before a wedding, a couple gets all dolled up, stare lovingly into each other’s eyes, and a photographer uses creative angles and scenes to capture that loving moment forever. During the shoot, a small quadcopter, controlled by the photographer, flies right into the groom. Ouch!

Earlier this month, an anonymous photographer uploaded the video of the accidental — yet amusing (since he’s OK) — collision to YouTube, and provided a description of what exactly went down (aside from the groom-to-be).

Supposedly, two days before the wedding at a bridal shoot, the photographer flew a DJI Phantom Quadcopter, equipped with a GoPro camera, near the couple as a test for a unique fly-by angle. After one successful pass, the photographer tried again to make sure the footage was smooth. After all, the Phantom can travel at a top vertical speed of more than 19 feet per second.
