How to remember Dad in Photos

I'm a bit confused, did your dad pass away? You didn't say that specifically but it sounds that way. That would probably change the advice based on if he is passed, or still living but just won't be available to come.

Edit: I see you added more detail to your post. In this case, I recommend wearing something that belonged to your dad. You could also incorporate it into your bouquet -- i.e. tying it with a piece of fabric from one of his suits, or including a plant that he liked. You can also have a portrait of him featured in your getting ready photos. For example, many brides have a shot of them looking in the mirror, but you can have one looking at a framed photo of him. You could also write a letter to him and have that featured in your detail spread. Ask your photographer what they recommend, and let them know so they can zoom in on these details.

I m so sorry for your loss. What a sweet idea to do a photo shoot. If you ll be holding a bouquet you can have a little photo of him on it. You can have photo of him and your mom's wedding day in the background or someone holding it. Did he have a favorite food or beverage you can do a cheers to him. Another idea would be if he had a favorite sports team or hobby to incorporate into a photo.

My father has been gone for almost 7 years, so we knew he wouldn't make it to the weeding. But now, my future FIL has also passed away before our wedding which we didn't at all anticipate. I've been trying to think of something similar to do as I don't want to bring it up too much and have the day feel sad. My idea is to have our mom's stand on either side of us and hold a picture from their wedding day. That way you have us in our wedding attire and a picture of the two of them in theirs. I'm not sure if you like that idea, but hopefully it gives you some idea of what you can do.

Also, I am so very sorry about the loss of your father. I know it isn't easy - especially in what should be a joyful time.
