A Father's Prayer


A wedding day is full of hustle and activity, but I often witness fathers finding a peaceful place to offer a quiet prayer or collect their thoughts before giving their daughter away. This image was captured as I was walking down the hall to photograph the bride's hurried activity with all of her bridesmaids making their final preparations. In contrast, I passed a half open door, and noticed the father of the bride, alone and in quiet contemplation. Without interruption, I discreetly captured the above image. My heart filled with emotion as I saw myself in this moment years from now. This image is now part of the bride's wedding story, complete with the memory of her father's prayer.
