A Colorado wedding photographer thought she had seen it all, until Johnny and Laura Benson's big day.

The newlyweds were posing for pictures at a reservoir when a rattlesnake bit the groom.

The couple started waving to a park ranger for help.

He thought they were being friendly, so he yelled back "congratulations."

Then he realized they needed help.

The entire time, the wedding photographer was snapping pictures.
