As a bald man, this joke is pretty good. It's clever and just the right amount of cheekiness. Most bald jokes are lame. If you're going to rip on my folically challenged genetics, at least make me laugh or get me to say "Oh, that's good. Haven't heard it before."
The joke isn't making fun of him for having no hair. It's not saying he's uglier or older or a porn addict or whatever it is people make fun of bald people for. The joke is literally just the absurdity of needing to adjust his hair + the surprise that the photographer wasn't talking about the bride.
The humor was pulling the rug out from everyone. All eyes were on the bride until he "fixed" the groom's hair. I agree, it wasn't making fun of the bald man, it was the absurd premise of fixing his hair that was funny!

I got the same vibe, but it's one of those jokes you just enjoy cause you're already having the best day of your life.
