Song Ideas for your Father Daughter Dance

Father Daughter Wedding Dance

Father-Daughter dance photos are hands down some of my favourite moments to capture at a wedding.

I’ve put together a few song ideas to help you choose the perfect tune for your father and daughter dance.

As a dad of two girls, these dances hit me right in the heart every time. They make me pause and think of my girls, even after years of shooting weddings.

It’s that moment when a father gets to dance with his little girl, the one he's been guiding and protecting but who’s now all grown up. In those few minutes, she’s still his little girl and he’s still her hero. It’s emotional and these songs almost always make my viewfinder fog up.

“One day I know I’ll give her away, buddy that don’t mean she’s yours.”

— Post Malone

There’s a bittersweet beauty in these dances, reminding us just how precious and fleeting these years are. It’s a moment every dad and daughter will hold in their hearts forever.
