Wedding Photog Leaps Into Action to Save Choking Guest

A Canadian wedding photographer recently abandoned her camera to save a guest who was choking. Lauren Horch of Tkshotz Photography in Alberta sprang into action when she noticed a groom's uncle struggling at a wedding in Canmore. As Horch was seated with the man, she saw he was tearing up and having difficulty breathing after some food became lodged in his throat. The 38-year-old photographer first tried applying forceful pressure to the man's back. When that proved ineffective, she began performing abdominal thrusts on him.
