The image depicts a male cat filming a cat bride and groom and their bridal party with a movie camera as they exit the church. Two young girl cats wearing identical green dresses and shoes are holding the bride's veil. A male and female cat couple are behind them. A female cat is walking her undressed dog (pet), which has run under the photographer's tripod as it chases two birds, which are flying up in front of the bride. The dog's leash is pulling against the front tripod leg and is likely about to overturn the camera.
