This family of wedding crashers risked the wrath of the bride to capture these photos . Brandi and Randy Russell , and their two children , take to the beach in tropical Hawaii to snap photobombing shots with unsuspecting wedding parties who have forked out thousands on the dream ceremonies . The family-of-four , originally from Lenexa in Kansas , lived on the idyllic island for five years and decided to take their quirky photos at the Ko Olina beach lagoon . Brandi and Randy pose with their arms in a heart shape as a couple marries in Hawaii . Smitten couples loved the beauty spot so much that they flocked there almost hourly , giving the family the idea that they could make their way into wedding albums back in 2004 . Pediatric occupational therapist Brandi , 36 , said : 'It was so frequent it was comical . ' I remember a specific conversation one day , when my husband and I wondered , `` How many random people 's wedding photos are we in the background in our bathing suits ? '' . 'From there , it was a dare to go get in that wedding photo . ' In this picture Brandi is seen pulling a funny face , however , she says they stopped directly photobombing wedding parties after some people complained . Brandi and Randy pose on the beach as a happy couple have their wedding snaps taken behind them . Brandi and Randy , 38 , as well as kids Kyler , eight and Elle , six , have since turned the hobby into a family tradition . But they have been met with some resistance from happy couples and guests . Brandi said : 'We quickly realised actually photobombing was n't cool . 'The wedding co-ordinators would shoo us away or we would get scowls from the bridal party . 'It 's not our style to be rude . So , we started taking pics of ourselves with the wedding in the background . It was way less invasive and still fun . ' In this picture a friend has taken a picture of Brandi and Randy larking about in the background of this happy couple 's wedding day . Brandi says she and the family try to think up funny poses for their pictures , here they are hiding behind a tree . The family ditched their desperate clambering to get in the background of the pictures to take centre stage . They have since posed behind trees , made love hearts out of hands and even danced while in full view of wedding parties . Brandi said : 'It was a game we played only on vacation but now we include our kids in the fun and whoever else wants to play . 'This year , we are vacationing in Hawaii with my parents and we have enlisted my mum and dad as official beach wedding photo bomb paparazzi . 'We all start cheering and hi-fiving when we see a white gown and an entourage of bridesmaids on the beach . It is fun to figure out the silliest pose or best angle for our picture . ' Brandi waves while in the background a couple stand on the beach having their wedding photographs taken . Sometimes the couple will even get their children involved , this time carrying them across the grass .
The Russell family took people 's wedding photos in 2008 . It was after realising they would be in a lot of people 's shots . Now they no longer ' photo - bomb ' but take pictures near the wedding . robin ##son says : ' It 's not our turn to be rude '
