“Josie Metz’s father won’t live long enough to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day.But thanks to photographer Lindsey Villatoro,the 11-year-old girl was able to experience what it might be like anyway.
Her father, Jim,62,had already been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when he and his wife.Grace,hired Villatoro—a photographer.Two years ago,Villatoro began offering photography sessions for people with serious illnesses to document their journeys and was hired by the Metz family.”I try to really showcase(充分展示)the person for who they are and not the illness,”she told The Huffington Post during a phone conversation Tuesday afternoon.
Villatoro went to Jim and Grace’s home for a shoot and offered to do one with their young daughter,Josie.After she left,she posted about the family on her website to get gift donations for the girl to help make her last birthday with her father memorable.But she decided to take a step further as a surprise and dreamed up the idea of a wedding for the girl—complete with,flowers,desserts,a promise ring and a dress from L.A.Fashion Week—so that her father could walk her down the aisle.”
