Marriage under water!





Newly married couples are taking the plunge by having their wedding photos taken

underwater.US photographer Adam Opris has been wowing with his sub-aquatic images for the last four years, taking the “trash the dress“ trend to a whole new level. While some images show couples posing side by side, other images show the bride and groom kissing on the ocean floor while being completely surrounded by stingrays.

“I used to see photos of underwater worlds in the Amazon River from divers and was always drawn to them,“ Opris, who is based in South Florida, said. “Bringing my clients into this underwater world added a whole new dynamic of creativity and art into their memories.“ The idea of immersing yourself underwater in your finest garbs might seem extreme but the trend for unforgettable, truly unique wedding photography is becoming more and more of a priority for newlyweds. “People try and help each other float or mess with each other's hair underwater,“ he said.

Explaining how the breathtaking images are created, Adam said the couples, dressed in their wedding attire, are surrounded by a crew of divers and as the couple remove their oxygen masks the photographer captures the perfect moment.But it's not all plain sailing.

“Most people don't realise that to create amazing photos the posing is much different than on land,“ he said. Adam's underwater shoots will set you back anything from $3,000 to $5,000.
