The moment when the bride's father sees her for the first time in her dress is a classic shot that often makes for one of the most authentically emotional scenes of the wedding day. The raw emotion runs freely even though this is a shot that has to be organised by positioning the bride and her father for the pictures. I especially love it when Dad sheds a few tears - real raw emotion. I have to watch it myself - emotion can be contagious.
