Unlike your usual photo shoots, the then to-be-wed John Taylor wanted to create a special shoot that captures his bromance with his best man, Andy Pemberton. John and his fiancée Lisa had discussed about their vision for their wedding and the groom-to-be mentioned that he wanted to do a “comedy shoot”.
Photographer Katie Byram was hired by the couple do to the shoots as they got ready for the big day and thought little of the idea.. Until she arrived at the hotel room where the men were getting ready. According to Byram, John opened the door in just his bathrobe and said “Hello, Katie, we’ve been expecting you.”
Then the greatest bromantic photo shoot of all time commenced.
“The whole shoot was led by them,” Byram told BuzzFeed. “I normally take photos of guys putting on their ties and button holes but they wanted something a lot less traditional and a lot more fun. We were roaring with laughter through much of it”
Andy and John have been friends since 2003, and became close five years ago when they ended up living in the same area. “We instantly took up from where we left off, grafted back together with our mutual idiocy,” Taylor told BuzzFeed. Even after the two English men found the women that would become their wives, they maintained their close friendship.
“Our photographer said she would be coming by to take a few photos, I told her that we may want to take a couple of ‘funny’ shots. I don’t think she realized that she would be photographing two naked blokes in twin bath tubs,” Taylor said.
Their bormance continued throughout the wedding.
Lisa, his bride-to-be loved the photos!
“She totally gets the bromance and loved the photos when she saw them!” Taylor said.
“A few of the photos have made the wedding album, including a bed one and one of us in the baths.”
“I think Lisa knows that Andy comes as part of the package,” Bryam said.
