Conceived by Louisiana photographer Quinn Miller for his friend James Lowder's wedding to Katie Young at the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana on Sunday, the image shows the terrified bridal party being chased by a massive T. Rex.
Miller tells Yahoo! Shine very few people at the wedding knew of his plan, but the bride and groom were both completely game. "After we took our formal pictures, we set up the shot. They [the wedding party] really sold it. They are what made it work."
He acknowledges that he has seen similar Jurassic-inspired pictures before, but he told io9.com that he thought he could could do a better job with the retouching: "I'm really picky about Photoshop."
Miller retouched and posted the photo on his Facebook page early Monday morning with the note "Things got really crazy at the Lowder wedding last night," and the image immediately went viral. He tells Yahoo! Shine has been shocked by all the attention. On Wednesday, he says he had doubled the 'likes' on his Facebook page, when the photo had received 800 'likes.' By Thursday morning, that number had more than quadrupled. One commenter, who attended the wedding, joked, "If you live in St. Francisville, only leave your house if necessary. Keep your eyes open." Another quipped, "Is that the mother-in-law?"
