There is nothing quite as special as the bond between a dad and his little girl. Weddings tend to bring out the emotional side in all of us, but one of our favorite things about being a wedding planner is getting to witness the sweet moments between a bride and her father on her wedding day. From the first look that brings tears to his eyes to the emotional walk down the aisle, these special interactions are filled with love, pride, and a lifetime of memories. There are countless moments that we could reminisce on from weddings past, but here are a few of our favorite dad & daughter memories captured on wedding days. Grab a tissue because there are some real tearjerkers in here.
Jen & Her Dad Steven

One of our favorite questions to ask the Father of the Bride on the wedding day is "Are you going to cry?" whether that be when he sees her for the first time, or when walking her down the aisle. When we asked Jen's dad Steven he said that really wasn't how their relationship is. They are more the fun-loving, goofy, always able to crack a smile kind of family. Of course as a wedding planner we don't see their faces as they walk down, but following the ceremony he mentioned that they "got a little emotional." When we got their gallery back we were tearing up at how absolutely precious this moment was.

Haden wanted to include her soon-to-be Father-in-law Brett in her first look with her dad. I don't think any of us expected him to be the one to tear up when he saw her! It made this moment that much more special seeing how loved she already was by her groom's family.

When we asked Mick if he was going to cry when he saw Samantha, he didn't hesitate to say "Oh absolutely!" You can tell just by his look how full of love and pride he was. We caught him tearing up a couple more times throughout the wedding day which may have sparked a tear or two from us as well.
Britney & Her Dad John

During Britney's first look with her dad John, they weren't the only ones holding back the tears. Britney's family watched behind the scenes and we were all struggling to hold it together as he saw her for the first time and she handed him a gift. The custom stitched handkerchief with a letter to her dad on her wedding day had us all wanting to call our dads and tell him we love him. 10/10 would recommend to any bride to gift your dad something special on your wedding day.

Samantha surprised her dad John with a slideshow of photos of the two of them throughout the years during the Father-Daughter dance. We were all a little emotional watching her dad tear up as photos of him and his little girl flashed across the screen.
We could go on and on about all of the heartwarming father-daughter moments we've had the honor of witnessing, from tear-filled first looks to choking up during toasts, these are just a few of our favorites that live rent free in our heads. There is nothing quite as special as the bond between a dad and his daughter and we look forward to witnessing many more of these special moments in the future.
