This groom invited his good friends from high school and college to be his groomsmen, which meant for photographer Jessie Lyee that she would probably not get a serious frame out of the group. “They just can’t keep their cool when they are together,” she says.

Lyee had gotten plenty of hilarious frames of the guys, but she was hoping to get one semi-serious, reflective photo of these long-time friends. “So I requested them to close their eyes to enjoy the breezy wind for a while, as the wedding venue was on a highland,” she explains. “But what I remember while I shot this photo is one of the groomsmen whispering something funny and all of them just couldn’t hold themselves for any longer and burst into loud laughter!”

A few of them were trying in vain to follow Lyee’s instructions, which made for a more interesting photo with different facial expressions.
