Think back to the worst wedding crasher story you’ve ever heard. Does it involve a wild bear stealing the bride’s thunder while walking down the aisle? If not, then bride Sarina Thompson and groom Cory Brewer probably have you beat.

After the Gatlinburg, Tennessee, ceremony on Sunday, photographer Leah McMahan was setting up for the usual photos she takes afterwards with family and the bridal party. Once that was done, she dismissed everyone but the bridal couple so that they could take more photos.

That’s when she noticed a certain uninvited guest in the background.

“I had the bride and groom with me starting to shoot when we all noticed this bear. We left the grass area and went for the bridge to finish. He turned and started down the aisle,” McMahan told Insider. “Being scared didn’t cross my mind, I just wanted ‘the shot.'”

While this certainly isn’t the first time an animal has photobombed photo shoots, it might be one of the scariest instances.

As McMahan stood up to finish, the bear started making its way towards them and made a “huffing” sound. “At this point I am beyond scared,” McMahan said. “He jacked my heart rate up to Jesus.”

Thankfully, it all turned out okay and everyone was safe, and the bear left on his own. “It was probably the most adventurous photo session I have done, even more than the one time I shot a family and their pet opossum,” said McMahan.
