Wherever Dr. Ian Malcolm goes, trouble may follow... Adam Biesenthal Photography by [Samantha Grossman](https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/) ## Samantha Grossman Aug 5, 2014 7:59 PM UTC Look, if Jeff Goldblum is at your wedding, it’s perfectly understandable that you’d see that as an opportunity. An opportunity, for example, to take an awesomely over-the-top _Jurassic Park_\-style wedding photo. Photographer [Adam Biesenthal ](http://www.biesenthal.ca)captured the shot at the request of the groom, _Esquire_[ reports](http://www.esquire.com/blogs/culture/jeff-goldblum-wedding-photo). (The dinosaur was photoshopped in later, obviously.) Goldblum was attending the wedding of Pamela and Jesse Sargent, who are friends of the actor’s fiancée, Emilie Livingston. Biesenthal told _Esquire_ that Goldblum was “a very cool guy, who when the groom asked him to do this shot he enthusiastically agreed.” In fact, he was one of the few people who really got into character for it. Everyone else was just smiling! We can only hope he found a moment to throw in his famously weird laugh: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3083131/jeff-goldblum-recreates-jurassic-park-scene-in-this-awesome-wedding-photo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3083131/jeff-goldblum-recreates-jurassic-park-scene-in-this-awesome-wedding-photo/"},"headline":"Jeff Goldblum Recreates Jurassic Park Scene in This Awesome Wedding Photo","datePublished":"2014-08-05T19:59:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:11.896Z","description":"Hold on to your butts","url":"https://time.com/3083131/jeff-goldblum-recreates-jurassic-park-scene-in-this-awesome-wedding-photo/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Weddings","photography"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltab200457fd12570c/69869e7ff983e71edf04f1e9/jurassic-park-wedding-v2-facebook.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltab200457fd12570c/69869e7ff983e71edf04f1e9/jurassic-park-wedding-v2-facebook.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Pamela and Jesse Sargent Wedding","caption":"Pamela and Jesse Sargent Wedding","creditText":"Adam Biesenthal Photography","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3083131/jeff-goldblum-recreates-jurassic-park-scene-in-this-awesome-wedding-photo/","name":"Jeff Goldblum Recreates Jurassic Park Scene in This Awesome Wedding Photo"}}]}] ```
