January is the month I like to share all of my previous year's favorite photos.  I have categories like Rings, Shoes, Flowers, Dress, Bride, Wedding Party etc.  With over 60 weddings it is sometimes hard to narrow it down.  We try to choose photos that are somewhat unique but also crisp, vibrant and tell a story.  Not every wedding makes it into every gallery.  That doesn't mean I playing favorites or think the photos were not good from a particular wedding.  In fact, I may have overlooked an obvious entry.  If you feel I am missing a best of photo from a wedding please let me know.  Here is the gallery I keep all my 2012 best of photos.  More will be added in the next couple of weeks.  Below find the photos representing my Best of Father Daughter photos.

I think this may be my favorite photojournalistic shot of the year.

This was shot soon after Amy's Dad saw her for the first time in her wedding dress.

It is the Father Daughter dance that gets me every time.  Seeing Lauren's dad's tears touches my heart.
