I love photos of moments that make people laugh, and I'm always looking for a picture that tells a story or makes the viewer stop and ask, 'what's going on here?'

This moment came about while I was looking for photos after the wedding meal while everyone was relaxing outside. I heard an outburst of laughter in the distance, and as I came around the side of the venue, I found this flower girl wandering around calling "mum" and looking for her mother while wearing the photobooth horse's head and holding a toy phone. She walked straight past me, continuing her search. The laughter had been from a group of guests who had stopped their conversation at the sight of this girl wandering around. This is one of the funniest and most unique moments I've witnessed at a wedding so far.
