Wedding "Tree" & "The Jump"

This photo gave me a good chuckle...

I mean, who really thought this would be a good idea?

"They were having trouble looking natural."

While we're talking about awkward wedding poses- what's with everyone these days taking posed  photos jumping in the air?

I hope I don't offend anyone who's been caught on camera mid-air in formal attire, but it's become so cliche!  I want to meet the first jumping couple and see how the copyright litigation is coming along. 

I'm sure they're all jumping for joy, which is to be expected at a wedding.  But I'm just not feeling this pose anymore. 

Unless, maybe, there are balloons or parasols involved.  That kind of reminds me of Marry Poppins, in a good way.  Nah... I'm not convinced.

What do you think of "The Jump" pose?
