This month, our Photo of the Day series will be taken over by Rangefinder‘s 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography of 2018. The honorees can be found in our freshly published November issue, as well as in our full online gallery, which shows each of their submissions. For more behind-the-scenes insights on how they created some of their shots, follow us on Instagram, where the Rising Stars will be taking over @rfwppi all month long.

This was one of those moments when the stars aligned. It was a crazy windy day, and one of the bridesmaids was helping the bride untangle the veil that was pulling at her hair. The kids were running around playing, and when I saw them head under the flying veil, I threw myself to the ground. I knew it was going to be a sweet moment, but the little girl reaching for a hug was beyond all expectation.
