Am heartbroken! :(

Sanj,
Regardless to the advices put forward here, everything came out well! For which all of us are very happy for you. A proud parent for sure!
Young adults have their own minds, likes and dislikes, but all are flexible, and in their own environments, peers and close friends, all is forgotten. So glad you did bring your gear and got some photos. We can never be sufficiently prepared; we plan and we prepare, but we still couldn't count on being perfect. Many a times, I look back and say "I wish I could do this ...", but the scene often times would not be available. I chalk it up to experience and hope if the next chance will be better.
Still and all, you took some great photos, more than enough for family use and memories, and should be treasured.
Happy for you and you seem to have raised a fine young person!

I remember you posted this picture earlier. Excellent picture! Daughters rock. I have two. Fathers, maybe not so muchrcarca said:I have just seen this thread. My daughters are often "embarrassed" by my cameras. My younger daughter played in the National Youth Orchestra for the Queen's recent jubilee celebrations. You could not have had a prouder father. After the event I took a few decent (IMvHO) photographs. She was totally horrified when I posted one on Social media and I learned my lesson (yet again) post nothing without prior approval...

Proud fathers!!!
About pride, well I believe, our children are like arrows, launched and living their trajectory; as we, the parents - and the rest of the village watch. The whole flight is theirs.

Plan A: Tell her that this is one of the most important moments in your life and you want to capture with your best gear. Plan B: Bring a less conspicuous camera and behave like a street photographer and Plan C: hire a pro-photographer and enjoy the ceremony.sanj said:

Happy daughter & happy dad! What more could you ask?
All turned out well and in years to come she will appreciate your efforts even more. All the others will have the "Official" photos and whatever they parents got on the P&S cameras or phones. But she will have proper photos taken by a proud dad - so much better!
