Pets are part of the family, we all know that, right? Although it can be tricky to hire family members as your wedding photographers and videographers, your four-legged buddies love lending a paw! So, Ellie and Georgie Woods hired Ellie’s family dog, Bobby, to film their wedding with a GoPro. I assume they paid him in treats, and he returned hilarious footage that quickly sent him viral.
The decision to let Bobby document their wedding wasn’t just a quirky idea; it was a deeply meaningful way to include an important family member in their celebration. Bobby has been an integral part of Ellie and Georgie’s love story from the beginning. So, when the couple got engaged, it was a no-brainer that Bobby would play a special role in their big day. But rather than just having him as a ring bearer or a guest, they decided to take things up a notch by giving him a unique responsibility: wedding videographer.
With a GoPro strapped securely to his back, Bobby trotted around the wedding venue, capturing the event from his own furry perspective. Some might think that a dog with a camera would be more interested in chasing squirrels than capturing the special moments, but Bobby took his job seriously—well, mostly. The GoPro didn’t only record the couple’s walk down the aisle but also some unexpected moments, like Bobby stealing snacks and accidentally stumbling into Georgie’s sister in the bathroom. Despite these amusing detours, the video was full of heartfelt and candid moments that only Bobby could have captured.
“He loves being the center of attention,” Georgie told The Dodo. “He just loved it.” Ellie added that this bestest boi captured some really special moments. “[W]e couldn’t be happier for how it came out because it’s just so organic and such an interesting, different perspective.”
For Ellie and Georgie, Bobby’s role was more than just a fun twist—it was a testament to the importance of animals in their lives. Ellie mentioned, “Animals are really important to queer couples. [I]t was so important to have him … as part of our big day.”
Bobby’s wedding video might not have the polished look of a professional production, but it’s full of charm, love, and a dog’s-eye view of a day that meant the world to his family. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most memorable moments are the ones captured by the ones who love us unconditionally—even if they happen to have four paws and a wagging tail.
