Just-Married Couple Goes Viral with Apple VisionPro Wedding Photo
Jacob Wright and his new bride, Cambree, recently became an internet sensation after a photo of them wearing the Apple VisionPro headset went viral. Jacob had seen the power of viral content when a video of a man driving a Tesla Cybertruck hands-free while wearing the same headset went viral. He knew that a single photo could earn him some “Twitter clout,” so he decided to give it a try.
Shortly after exchanging their vows at the Jordan River Temple in South Jordan, Jacob put on his brand-new Apple VisionPro and posed for a photo with his bride. Little did they know that this photo would capture the attention of thousands of people. The original post on X, formerly Twitter, with the caption #JustMarried, has garnered over 360,000 views. A follow-up post with the caption “Caption contest” has received more than 100,000 views. The photo has also made its way to Reddit and Instagram, and it has even been featured in national publications.
Wearing the Apple VisionPro in unexpected places has become a trend among tech users and employees, including Jacob, who is a software engineer. Many have capitalized on the novelty of the product to create viral moments. However, in this particular post, much of the attention has been focused on Cambree’s expression. Internet users have labeled her look as one of anger, disappointment, or disgust. But Cambree insists that she wasn’t mad; she was just cold.
The couple’s love story began when they met at the gym while they were both students at Brigham Young University. Cambree, a personal trainer and neuroscience student, was drawn to Jacob’s muscles, and they quickly bonded over their shared passion for fitness. Despite not intending to marry young, Cambree found herself falling for Jacob. She was initially focused on her career and independence but ended up marrying at the age of 19.
Their courtship lasted a little over a year before they tied the knot. For LDS couples, this is considered a fairly long courtship. By the time they exchanged vows at the temple, Cambree was fully committed to their relationship. Even Jacob’s stunt with the Apple VisionPro couldn’t have pulled her away from him. Some people mistakenly believed that they got married while wearing the headset, but Cambree clarified that their wedding was much more relaxed than that.
Jacob only wore the headset long enough to take a picture, and he brought it out again at the reception to capture more memories. One of the features he appreciated was the ability to record immersive video clips from their reception, allowing them to relive those moments exactly as he saw them. However, despite the temporary fame the Apple VisionPro brought him, Jacob decided to return it. He found that using it for an extended period made him feel disoriented, and the pressure to justify its high price tag became a chore.
While some couples might be deterred by the visibility and potential scrutiny that comes with viral fame, the Wrights embrace it. They love being married and are excited about the future. Jacob has a successful career in software start-ups, and Cambree is considering pursuing a graduate degree in neuropsychology or continuing her work as a personal trainer. They are young and see endless possibilities ahead of them.
The attention they received from their viral photo is just a fleeting moment in their marriage and life together. They acknowledge that this momentary fame is out of their control. Jacob, however, wouldn’t hesitate to do it again and even plans to “bump it up a little notch” next time to fan the flames of viral content.
In the grand scheme of things, this viral moment is just a small speck in their journey as a couple. They are focused on building a life together and are excited about the adventures that lie ahead.
