A very rare occasion where we cry during a dad’s first look at his baby girl.
It was the day of their wedding, the sun shines with a hint of clouds. It blended well with the shades of greens at Suffolk house, penang. I remember 2 months ago, the groom called me up to say he wanted to do his wedding as soon as possible because his father-in-law just had an unfortunate medical condition rendering him fully-paralysed. We discussed and confirmed immediately and proceeded with everything. They wanted a simple evening casual wedding which accommodated 80 close friends and family. Intimate, we like it.
The groom started the first look, not knowing anything about his bride’s attire. He turned around and wow! Prettiest love of his life followed by a sensual hug. Sometimes we are so blessed to called ourselves wedding photographers just cos we have the privilege to witness these happy tearful moments. It makes us believe that true love does exist and last a lifetime.
The next first look was the most important of the day. Her dad. He was pushed into the corridor by his wife, brothers and family on a wheelchair to cover the veil for his daughter. His first gaze on his beloved daughter was everything. He wanted to tell her he loved her, to hug her and say i will always be threr for you, to tell her i love you, yet he could not even if he tried. His eyes were in tears of joy, of pain, of longingness, and fear of letting go. No words were spoken, but she knew, we all knew and felt it to our bones. I believe everyone present felt his love like us.
Moments like these are genuine, unscripted, and fleeting. These precious memories often pass us by, which is why intimate weddings hold a special place in our hearts. Each glance, tear, and burst of laughter weaves a unique story that deserves to be cherished.
