On Her Way

On Her Way

THIS WAS THE LAST PHOTO I TOOK OF OUR DAUGHTER BEFORE SHE LEFT IN THE CAR ON HER WAY TO THE CHURCH WITH HER DAD….......

And she is on her way,
The veil conceals a single tear,
Her Father holds a shaking hand
and the limousine pulls away.

They talk of nothing really,
“You’ll always be my little girl”, he says,
as they pull into the Church,
and the veil conceals a single tear.

The organist plays, and everyone stands,
This time she holds her Dad’s shaking hand,
There is no veil to conceal his tears,
and the longest walk of his life begins.

“Who gives this Woman”, a nod of consent,
A secret glance, and exchange of vows,
For now and forever, for better for worse,
And she is on her way….........................

    Hey Sue, this is a stunning wedding/portrait. I am not kidding when I say that this photo could easily be displayed alongside some of the finest anywhere.
    I’m shocked I haven’t come across it earlier, it’s devine.
    FWIW, this image reminds me of a shot I admire by the highly acclaimed Beverly Hills celebrity wedding photographer, Joe Buissink . He has a photo of Christina Applegate in his online portfolio that I absolutely adore. I attended one of his workshop/seminars recently where he shared the story behind the photo.
    Your photo here has the same quality about it. Lovely work by you. 10/10
