The Father Daughter dance is a highlight of the reception. We always enjoy photographing the interplay between the father and his daughter. They are all different but they are always emotional. It could be tears of that bittersweet moment when the father knows this is the day he has been waiting for her entire life: the day she leaves him for her true love, her husband. It can also be filled with laughter as they share a memory together on the dance floor. What we always see is the pride, gratitude and love in both faces. Whatever the moment, it is always an emotional one for all, including the photographers.
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time.
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

Why do I have to be envied by all these? Such love in their eyes are melting my heart and soul... I can only wish I have the same opportunity of getting married and have a wedding dance.... Thank you for sharing JIM..:)

These are very special moments.
When it comes to a wedding reception there is nothing to compare to the bride/father dance. Always a bit tearful and nostalgic. You capture so much love in your photos.
