This is the shot of the father seeing his daughter dressed up as a bride for the first time. After the bride is ready to come to the guests, go ahead and have the dad in the position ready to see his daughter. You really need good planning here. Too often there is not enough space for all the participants of the moment. Find the spot for the dad; politely explain where you want him to stay. If bride’s room is upstairs, place the dad downstairs, leave some room for the bride after she has come down.
This is going to be a spectacular shot of the bride slowly walking down the stairs. Keep it wide. Follow her almost all the way down, then pan to the dad, get his reaction. It may be tears, excitement, short statement, or a hug and a kiss. Whatever it is, that’s the shot.
