As a wedding photographer, I count it such a privilege to get to know the couples whose weddings I photograph. I guess I've been blessed-the brides and grooms I've served are just truly sweet, wonderful people. So when the wedding itself rolls around there is usually a time or two during shooting where I get just plain choked up out of happiness for them and their families.
One thing especially gets me: the Father-Daughter dance. I don't know if it's because it reminds me of my own sweet Dad, or because I look forward to the day when, Lord willing, I will watch my own daughter dance with my husband at her wedding, or if it's just seeing the tender love between a father and daughter.
A couple of months ago, while driving down to Florida with the whole family, I heard the song "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman for the first time. Talk about getting choked up!! My first thought was that this would make a really great song for someone's Father Daughter dance at their wedding!
I would like to gift this song to the first five people that email me at (info at vanessabartelsphoto dot com) with "Cinderella" written in the subject line! You don't have to be a bride or groom, father or daughter-just email me! I just noticed that you can gift someone a song through iTunes, and I want to try it out. Time to see if anyone reads my blog! :^)
