Thankfully Lauren Mahaffey was fine after she was unceremoniously thrown off a bucking pony who was more than a little bit camera shy.
As soon as she hopped on the animal the bucking bronco galloped down the beach, in California, USA, and threw her off.
The footage was caught on camera by eagle-eyed wedding photographer Jarrett Hucks who rushed to bride's aid – only to find her in fits of laughter.
WHOA THERE: The horse was not a fan of being on camera [SWNS] Groom Joshua Mahaffey was shown the video on his wedding day after already being told about the incident and also found it hilarious.“Everyone thought it was very funny as soon as we knew she was ok”Jarrett Hucks
Jarrett, who has been a professional wedding photographer for three years, said: "My client decided that since you only live once, she wanted to take a photo on top of a horse.
"I'm not much of a fan of large animals myself because of the unpredictability of them, but I agreed to take the photo if she wanted.
"Everyone thought it was very funny as soon as we knew she was ok. It was the subject of many laughs on the wedding day."
The happy couple have now put the horsing around behind them and are enjoying a honeymoon in Hawaii.
