Two photographers who snapped pictures of NFL star Tom Brady and model Gisele Bundchen’s Costa Rica wedding “narrowly escaped death” after security guards opened fire on them, reports said.

According to INF photo agency, the paparazzi were returning to their car Saturday when security guards for the supermodel “frog marched” them back up to Bundchen’s villa and demanded they give up the pictures because the couple had struck an exclusive deal with a Brazilian magazine.

.As the photographers, Rolando Aviles and Uri Cortez, escaped to their Suzuki Grand Vitara and began to drive off, a bullet shattered the back window and then hit the windshield between their heads, INF said on its Web site.

“I could have lost my life for the sake of some pictures that Gisele didn’t want published,” Cortez was quoted as saying. “Are they insane?”

They managed to escape uninjured and later found a spent

.38 mm shell on the floor of the car, they told INF.

Messages left with representatives for Bundchen and Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback, were not returned last night.

It did not appear last night that anyone had been charged.

The two were having their second wedding, after getting hitched in February in Santa Monica, Calif.

The second round of nuptials were at Bundchen’s seaside home in Costa Rica, where about 25 guests gathered at sunset under a tent on the balcony, according to People magazine.

Bundchen, 28, wore a white dress with a 10-foot veil and held a bouquet of white orchids, reports said. Brady, 31, held his 1Â½-year-old son by actress Bridget Moynihan.

The latest wedding came just days after a very public feud between Bundchen and Moynihan that was sparked by the new Mrs. Brady telling Vanity Fair magazine how she loved her stepson like he was “100 percent” her own. Moynihan’s supporters quickly criticized Bundchen in the press
