Father of the Bride 04_30_05.jpg

One of my favorite photos from last nights wedding (yes for the first time I'm bending my PAD rule...this was taken yesterday). I have three married children and for those of you with married kids you can relate to this photo. Totally beat, worn out and "oh my gosh I spent how much money" is the feeling.

Here is a candid shot of one of the brides maids. Taken from across the room.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/100s f/3.5 at 173.0mm iso400 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Bill,
As a Wedding Pro, having worked over 1000 of them, I ust want you to know that you have captured the spirt of all fathers, guessing this was about an hour before the end of the night.
