Photographer Hernan Sanchez—who’s based in Florida, Chicago and L.A.—hopped over to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to shoot a wedding. Once the bride had gotten ready, it was time for her family and bridesmaids to see her before she walked down the aisle, but Sanchez had to think on his feet to get the shot he envisioned.

“I wanted to get Brittany’s parents’ and bridesmaids’ reactions when she revealed her dress to them, but the challenge was how to get them all in one photo,” he explains, “so I lined them up instead of them being scattered. Her dad’s expression was everything I wanted. They braced and he lost control and started crying. They all cried. I cried.”
