Father-Daughter Dance
Many brides want to share a dance at her wedding with her father. What happens when dad hates dancing? Compromise is the answer. Louis Armstrong offers a short (two and a half minute) musical option that fits the bill.
“What a Wonderful World” is a timeless classic that creates touching moments during the Father/Bride dance. This is a win-win option that makes for few dry eyes in the audience.

Brides should consider this tip before deciding to use any type of products which add a sparkle to the skin. Using these will quite possibly result in little white spots in your photographs due to the flash of light created in exposing the film hitting the sparkle on your skin. In the final photograph, it would appear as a little white dot in each location where there was a sparkle. While the sparkles may be pretty in person they can be very costly to have removed from all of your photographs.
