Many dads see their daughter for the first time on the wedding day, just before she’s ready to walk down the aisle. As a parent, I can only imagine what that day will be like. I do not want to feel rushed. There is so much to process, tears to be shed, memories to sift through, and still keep a clear head to make new memories. If ever there was an opportunity to freeze time.
What if you could extend those first moments and have no time constraints? No extended family drama or bridal party issues vying for your attention. That is why I’m such a fan of having a final dress fitting with immediate family present. Celebrating the good stuff with those you love most are always days well spent.
I had the honor to travel to New York to photograph Andrea’s final dress fitting at Vera Wang, along with her sister and parents. Seeing them share in Andrea’s excitement is absolutely precious. Andrea is another bride that I’ve gotten to know over the last few years of photographing events for her family. To say I adore Andrea is a huge understatement. I have a deep respect for this family and have learned so much from them on how to parent children who grow up to be world changers.
