Once in awhile I try to enter my pictures into a weekly contest put on by I Heart Faces.  Each week they welcome a guest judge and feature a different topic.  This week’s topic is Photojournalism, which means capturing a moment as it is happening, not posing a perfect picture.  As a wedding photographer, a lot of what we do is photojournalism because we strive document the day, not recreate, reenact or interrupt what is happening naturally.  So, needless to say, I love this week’s topic and just had to enter!  :)

The photo I chose to enter is of one of our 2010 bride’s, Erin and her dad.  This picture just warms my heart.  :)  Erin’s dad was able to keep his composure right up until it was time to walk his one and only daughter down the aisle.  As they stood in their living room, waiting for the wedding party to make their way down to the altar, he looked at her, she looked at him and they were both overcome with emotion.  They clung to each other as they sobbed.  It was such a beautiful, heartfelt moment to witness.  :)
