Wedding photographer falls into lake

A wedding photographer has stolen the show from a bride and groom by dramatically falling into a lake as she was trying to take their picture.

Footage filmed by a guest at the wedding in Urbana, Illinois shows the happy couple being pronounced husband and wife.

Guests cheer as they walk arm-in-arm on a boardwalk to the sound of Felix Mendelssohn's Wedding March.

A female photographer walks backwards in front of them snapping as many photos as possible of the precious moment.

But as the photographer backs around a bend disaster strikes and she loses her footing.

“Oh no!” a wedding guest cries out loudly as the photographer plunges into the lake.

The crowd, including the bride and groom, rush to her aid and pull her dripping wet from the water.

“I’m so sorry” the photographer tells the bride, before asking if her camera is OK.

The video ends with guests attempting to find the woman a towel and the bride and groom heading off together.
