Surely by now you have all heard the term phtobomb! We have come across our fair share of them in our photo booths. But, in case you haven’t yet figured out what exactly it means to photobomb or be photobombed, here is the Wikipedia meaning for you:
Photobombing is the act of inserting oneself into the field of view of a photograph, often in order to play a practical joke on the photographer or the subjects.[1] Photobombing has received significant coverage since 2009.[2] In discussing a “stingray photobomb” picture that went viral, Andrea DenHoed suggests that the photobomb label “implies a narrative of surreptitious sabotage,”[2] although in the sense of unintended and/or initially unnoticed people in the background of spoiled photographs, photobombs have existed for much of the history of photography.
Photobombing has been known to get global exposure, mainly due to the bandwidth and ease of dissemination afforded by the Internet, and the abundance of snapshots by smartphone cameras and other hand-held devices. A number of websites include sections on them, or are entirely devoted to photobombs.
A related term is videobombing, which applies the concept to video footage instead of a still photograph.
So now that we all know what exactly a photobomb is we thought we would have a little Wedding Wednesday fun and share some of the all-time best wedding photobombs via The Huffington Post.
We’ll kick it off with this “Where’s Waldo” rendition? Thank goodness for that handy little crop feature to get rid of him!

Would you be furious if this happened to you or would it be funny? Hard to tell.
