8 Most Extreme Wedding Photoshoots in the History Of Wedding Photoshoots

Most weddings are beautiful  festive events, filled with love and emotions. There is usually not a lot of risk or danger involved, as the wedding moves from the getting-ready stage to the ceremony and reception in beautiful locations.


For these couples, however, they wanted to have a feel of something different from the boring usual. They wanted to feel fear and then have it coated with lovely smiles to make it look just as amazing as they really are.

Well, below are a collection of the most amazing, yet  extreme wedding photoshoots in the history of wedding photoshoots.

ENJOY and SHARE!

1. The Blazed Photoshoot:

Photographer Josh Newton captured these dramatic wedding photos in 2014 in Oregon, after a small fire in the vicinity grew out of control. The fire brigade evacuated all the guests halfway through the ceremony.

No one was in any real danger — the fire was 6 miles away. Right before the bride walked down the aisle, firefighters came and told everyone they had to be evacuated. However, the wedding coordinator talked the firemen into letting them get married if they did it quickly.

After the ceremony, the couple took the most dramatic wedding photos ever, and the results were amazing. (Source)

2. Tornado feel Photoshoot:

A Canadian photographer named Colleen Niska, posted the pictures to her Facebook page with the caption "I've dreamed about a day like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could NOT wait to post these! Pretty sure this will only happen once in my lifetime!"

3.  Photoshoot on the rim of a volcano:

This couple got married at the rim of an active volcano, the Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua.

Molinas and Timmer also had an over-the-top proposal (while storm chasing) and engagement shoot, which was weather-themed and shot underwater in the pool at the Biltmore in Miami–and featured in a story on Fox and Friends

4. Stunt Photoshoot:

This couple attempted a stunt not quite so safe. The bride pictured below conquered the famous Lost Arrow Spire Highline in California’s Yosemite National Park on her wedding day. Dressed in white she clambered along a tight rope 3,000 feet in the air; a feat that’s recommended only for the most experienced and prepared rock climber.

5. She's on fire kinda Photoshoot:

Tel Aviv area photographer Arik Siman-tov had been planning to shoot a photo so “extreme,” nobody would forget it. Then, he says, he was contacted by a bride, Natasha Samuel, who was looking “to do something that hadn't been done before.” It was a match — as they say — made in heaven.

Together they came up with the idea of lighting the bride's dress on fire, which she would then extinguish by running into the Mediterranean Sea. In the video below, Siman-tov is seen sparking the fire on the back of the dress and commands Samuel to quickly run into the sea to put it out.

The image is dramatic. Though it looks like her entire back is on fire, the flame never actually touched her back, according to Siman-tov. But it did get frighteningly close.

6. Hang from that Tree Kinda Photoshoot:

This photoshoot was done in Seychelles by photographer Christelle Rall. It look beautiful to behold but dangerous. What if anything goes wrong?

7. Photoshoot on an ice cliff:

This bride took the daring step to stand on a 120ft high ice cliff just to have the perfect wedding photoshoot with the famous photographer, Jay Philbrick.

8. Cliff Hanger Photoshoot:

10 Morning Wood(erection) Facts You Probably Didn't Know.

Many young penis owners, and even some older ones who haven’t found the right people to ask, are curious about morning erections. Most people who have a penis have the experience, with some regularity, of waking up in the morning with an erection and wonder, what's up with this?


This is a difficult thing to understand for women and even people who own a penis. Doctors, however, have studied why this morning wood happens to men. Yes, hard to believe, that science spent time on this subject.

Below are some of the facts they discovered from their studies.

ENJOY and SHARE!

1. It's just part of life, men of all ages wake up with an erection.

 The medical name for a morning wood is nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT). There are some assumptions as to why this happens to men when they wake up in the morning.

2. It becomes less frequent when you get to a certain age.

This morning wood phenomenon becomes less and less frequent around the time men are in the 60's and 70's.

3. The brain controls our bodies and function. This is why men can control being aroused at work, in the gym or on a date.

 

While at sleep, some parts of the brain are shut down, that means the brain no longer keeps the penis in check. 

Whereas normally the brain is regulating the penis and making sure erections only occur when needed, during REM the penis is free to do whatever it wants. And what it wants to do is get hard.

4. It's a lot stronger in the morning because he's hormonal.

 

Guy's testosterone level is at its highest, early in the day around 25% to 50%. As the day progresses, the levels begins to drop.

5. The penis gets hard when it's rubbed up against something accidentally, during sleep.

 

The penis gets aroused by touch, physical stimulation. Hence, if the body is pressed against something or someone, it's responded by making the penis do what it knows how to do best, getting hard.

6. It's just a way for the penis to exercise 

NPT can actually be a way the body conditions the penis to keep blood in it for long periods of time. "There's no other place in your body that has to trap blood for an extended period of time," says Dr. Alukal.

"For example, if we took a tourniquet and tied it around your foot for a half hour, we might have some problems afterward. But your penis is expected to trap blood for a half hour or an hour and be fine afterward.  

But Dr. Alukal is quick to point out that this is just a theory, and there's no data to back it up. (source: cosmopolitan.com)

7. A man's erection comes after receiving signals from the brain telling him he is stimulated and ready. 

 

8. Guys experience multiple boners per night  

Doctors estimate that men will have about four to five erections throughout the night with each lasting approximately 25-30 minutes. In case you are wondering, that is totally normal.

9. A man's bladder may also be making him get an erection. 

 

It is a common myth that morning erections are caused by a full bladder. While we know that having a full bladder can lead to an erection in someone who is awake (we know this through research with men with spinal cord injuries) it's not clear that this does cause erections throughout the night.

10. Getting the morning wood is good news, don't get embarrassed cos of that.

Men on average have morning erections about three times a night. Doctors say this means your testosterone levels are good, and his overall health is doing great.

Check Out These Incredibly Beautiful Pictures Of The World’s Largest Swimming Pool In Chile

Swimming a length in this large outdoor pool, would mean stroke after stroke for more than three fifths of a mile - that's 20 Olympic-size swimming pools.

If you love water and swimming and if you can spend enough money, I've got a place mapped out, just for you. This is world’s largest swimming pool in Chile.

The enormous man-made lagoon is set halfway up the country's Pacific coast, in the city of Algarrobo, and is filled with 66 million gallons of crystal clear seawater and has a length that is 1000 yards long covering 20 acres and has depth of 115 ft.

The pool opened in December 2006 after nearly five years of construction work and a cost of around $1 Billion. The annual maintenance cost is $2 Million. 

The turquoise waters of the pool are magnificent and crystal clear. So crystal clear that you can watch its depth and bottom even from the deepest area

This monster pool from Chile is maintained and controlled by a computer for suction and filtration. This computer keeps fresh seawater in permanent circulation.

The system is such that water is sucked in from the ocean at one end and pumped out at the other, while the sun warms it to 26⁰C - nine degrees higher than the sea.

Chilean biochemist Fernando Fischmann, is the person whose company Crystal Lagoons Corporation designed the pool.

He said that till the time there is an abundant supply of water from the ocean this whole system can work beautifully. The best part is that, it will not harm the ocean.
