First look with my Dad! Highly suggest it!

I realized I haven't posted these, and they are really sweet pictures. I saw it on Pinterest years ago and knew I would do it with my father on my wedding day. My husband and I didn't want a first look, we wanted the moment I walked down the aisle to be the first time he saw me (still so happy we did that, it was unforgettable). Neither my dad nor myself are emotional people, so this was a sweet moment for both of us. Very brief, but our photographer & videographer caught it on camera and it was the biggest smile from my dad all day. It was super quick, took maybe 5 minutes. For all bride's with a special happy relationship with their dads (or stepdads or any father figure), I highly recommend it!

We were in the bridal suite at the venue.cfb_1304077.jpgThe only time I teared up the entire day.cfb_1304079.jpgI think the black & white was a sweet editing choice from our photographer.cfb_1304081.jpgBiggest smile from my father all day.cfb_1304083.jpgI think here I said "okay, that's enough of that" to stop further tears and that's why I'm laughing!cfb_1304085.jpg

    I definitely want a first look with my dad I know he will be crying like a baby and I think in turn I will start tearing up!

    Beautiful! Smiley heart We plan to do the same thing. My FH didn't want to see me until I came down the aisle, so we're doing a "first look" with my dad before we start the ceremony.

    Love it! I will not do a first look with my FH but I do want one for my dad. I'm an only child so it would mean so much more special to do with us.

    I also did a first look with my dad! I am sooo happy to have done that over a first look with my husband. I felt that it was a special moment for my dad and I.

    These are fantastic!

    I didn't do a first look with my dad - I thought about it - but he was in and out of the bridal suite, so I ended up with wonderful pictures of my dad helping with my necklace, or just kissing my forehead, and so on.

    We both *nearly* cried during our dance, so, like you, I made a joke to stop us both!

    Good dads are worth their weight in gold.

    I understand! My dad didn't arrive until way later (with the groomsmen & other dads & my husband). Our dance was a box step so a little less emotional than normal, I'm glad you enjoyed your dance with him!

    These are such sweet photos.

    What a special memory to have captured on camera.

    I'm nearly tearing up looking at them Smiley laugh
