A little sappy, but being a girl dad has changed me as a creative.
I spend a good bit of time wondering if I actually know what I’m doing no matter how much I improve. But I’ll tell you something ... there is nothing more encouraging for a bride’s father to come up to me and tell me how much of a great job I’m doing. Without even seeing a single frame of footage, he’s confident that I’m already knocking it out of the park and he’s excited for his little girl.
Y’all ... I can’t even. It gives me creative life and pushes me to carry on when things are heavy. Family can be hard and complicated. It’s painful sometimes. This day can unfortunately highlight significant wounds (even for me as a spectator / vendor). The importance of born and chosen family can’t be understated on your wedding day.
And shout out to all the dads that have treated me like family along the way!!
