The Moment of Passing the Baton from Father to Groom
At the ceremony, at the end of the aisle, the groom, who has decided to walk through life together, is waiting for the bride and her father.
From father to groom.
The moment when the bride is sent off with a smile is a deeply moving scene that tugs at the heartstrings ♡
I Want to Capture a Close-Up Shot ♩
The moment when the bride's hand is passed from her father to the groom.
The hands of the three come together simultaneously, surely only at this moment and never again.
Capturing a close-up shot of this scene would be wonderful, wouldn’t it? ♩
But.
During the actual ceremony, there may be cases where this close-up shot cannot be taken.
After all, the photographer might not be able to get this close,
and depending on everyone’s unexpected movements (like being slightly hidden from behind), capturing just the hands beautifully up close can indeed be challenging.
Additionally, there is also the desire to capture expressions during the actual ceremony...!
So here's a suggestion ♡
How about capturing a close-up shot of the moment of passing the baton from father to groom during a pre-shoot or rehearsal?
This bride actually requested and had this shot taken during the rehearsal ♡
If it can be captured this beautifully and at the perfect angle, it doesn't necessarily have to be during the ceremony itself.
Consult with the Photographer *
The precious hands of the father, the beloved hands of the groom, and her own hands.
Brides who want to capture a close-up shot of the three hands at the moment of passing the baton should first consult with the photographer ♡
It might be possible to take it during the actual ceremony, or it could be done during the rehearsal or pre-shoot.
