Father Of The Bride

Our second wedding in the past two days, this time the daughter of our good friends in Yakima. The wedding we attended on Friday was a combination of Jewish and Catholic traditions, today's was a Mexican celebration. It was like we had never left Zihuatanejo. The ceremony was short and sweet, a good thing considering everyone was sweltering in the hot sun, and then the party started. There was an amazing number of photographers, both still and motion, covering the big event, so I kept my camera in the car until the dancing got going. After the traditional first dance, the bride and her father took to the floor. I think his expression in this shot speaks to the emotions he is undoubtably feeling as he dances with his now married daughter.
