A wedding photographer has revealed how he inadvertently captured the jaw-dropping moment the best man was cheating on his wife.

The professional picture taker explained that he was now left with a complex ethical and professional dilemma about what to do next.

The confession was re-shared a recent segment of the Toni and Ryan podcast.

Aussie podcast co-hosts Ryan Jon and Toni Lodge recounted the wild admission in a segment clip shared to their social media account.

The video saw Ryan read the wedding photographer's confession statement and accompanying question on-air.

'I'm a wedding photographer, and in the background of one of the photos I took, I busted someone cheating,' Ryan read aloud.

'That is so juicy,' Toni interjected.

Ryan continued: 'The best man was kissing someone who was not his wife.'

'His wife was sitting with the bride in another area, and he was having a cheeky snog behind this room divider where they thought they couldn't be seen.'

The confessional message continued with the photographer divulging his subsequent dilemma.

'The tricky part for me is it's a great picture of two family members,' Ryan read out.

'Do I Photoshop out the cheating scandal, bring it to the couple's attention or delete the images as if it never happened?'

The podcast segment clip was captioned 'What would you do?' has since been viewed over 140,000 times.

The post attracted hundreds of comments from listeners - many of whom had suggestions on how to best handle the situation.

The replies tended to broadly fall into one of four categories, with the most predominant being that the photographer should provide the bride and groom with the unedited picture amongst the entire photo collection and 'play dumb'.

'I'd leave it there and say nothing,' read a reply that had received over 1000 likes.

The wedding photographer called for advice on whether he should simply edit out the potential infidelity act from the picture, or keep it in and expose the wrongdoer

'I'd pretend I didn't know any different and just publish the pics as they are,' agreed another.

'Leave it in. Not up to the photographer to know who is who. The photographer is just there to take photos and capture moments,' another reply explained.

'I would leave as is and let the family figure it out,' another agreed. 'The camera person was just doing their job - not their fault they caught something in the background.'

'[L]eave it for them to sort - don't enable or help the cheaters,' read another adamant reply.

The next set of replies to the predicament were in favour of a compromise approach, whereby the photographer simply provided the newlyweds with both an edited and unedited version of the photo.

Some advised the photographer to give a reason for there being two versions of the same photo, while others felt it should be done without explanation.

'I'd send two versions and let the newlywed couple figure it out,' one recommended.

'Send them both the photoshopped image and the original so they have a nice one - but also spill the tea,' another agreed.

Amongst the replies, the most common suggestion was that the photographer should simply provide the unedited photo to the bride and groom as is - without explanation

'Edit it out for the official copies but provide the original to give to the bride and groom,' a longer reply explained. 'They can decide whether to confront this guy and/or tell his wife about it.'

The third category of responses encouraged the photographer to be direct and raise the potential affair with the bride and groom.

'Bring it to the couple's attention and ask how they'd like to handle it,' one response suggested. 'They're paying for wedding photos, let them decide what to do.'

'I would ask the couple what they want to do. They are paying customers and honesty is truth,' another agreed.

'As others have said, I would edit the photo for the wedding album and contact the couple privately with the original - their choice then,' another explained.

But perhaps surprisingly, a small minority of responses believed the photographer should stay out of other people's personal business by either deleting the image entirely or editing out the scandalous background.

'Edit them out,' one replied. 'Not anyone's business [and] it would put a black cloud over the wedding forever.'

'Photoshop it out. It has the potential to ruin the wedding and memories of the wedding,' read another lengthy reply. 'Wedding photographers aren't paid to be investigative journalists; they're paid to capture beautiful memories of a wedding for the bride and groom - the ethical responsibility of the photographer is to the couple and their memory of their wedding.'

Another offered that it was unfair to 'assume' that the groomsman was cheating because 'lots of people have open relationships, polyamorous relationships, don't ask/don't tell agreements'.

However one cheeky response had nothing but praise for the snapper's skills.

'What an amazing photographer...capturing a wedding AND a divorce.'
