His eyes closed, her veil catching the light — a father dancing with his daughter on her wedding night at the Radstone Hotel. I photographed this in black and white because some moments carry too much feeling for colour to add anything. Dances like this one are quietly the most emotional photographs of the whole day; they say everything about what a wedding actually means to a family. My job during the evening isn't just the first dance — it's staying alert for the second, third and fourth dances, because that's where moments like this hide.
