FROM THE EDITOR

Upon first glance, it may seem ironic that our very last print issue is about longevity, but we want to explain why it makes perfect sense. Did you know that the Rangefinder brand has been in existence for more than six decades? And in that time, it’s changed and grown to be the industry staple it is today. What was once akin to nothing more than a typed-out newsletter sheet has pivoted and been reshaped—as well as become more aligned with our show, WPPI—to evolve with the changes that affect the community we serve. And while we will no longer be published in print, we will continue to thrive at rangefinderonline.com as a hub you have come to rely on for news, profiles, industry insights, the latest gear, tips and tutorials, and much, much more. In this issue, we celebrate the photographers, several of whom are speaking at WPPI 2020, that have maintained career longevity by staying ahead of the curve. This may be our last print issue but we aren’t going anywhere! Make sure to stop by the Rangefinder Lounge on the WPPI show floor and say hello, where you can hear how several of our past and present 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography have built —jacqueline tobin, and marketed brands that ensure editor-in-chief their longevity as well. We thank jacqueline.tobin@emeraldx.com you for your continued loyalty rangefinderonline.com and readership.

ON THE COVER
It was a classically super hot day in Bali, says photographer Dan O’Day about this couple’s wedding, and everyone had been sweating through their Sunday best, cliffside, at the Uluwatu Surf Villas. “There was a hiccup in the ceremony when everyone was supposed to throw confetti while the newlyweds walked down the aisle,” says O’Day, “but someone forgot to pass it out ahead of time. So, being the legends that these two are, they found a different way of celebrating by popping and spraying themselves and their crew with champagne (and the confetti that went missing initially) on the side of that cliff of marital destiny.” Go to page 36 to read how O’Day and five other veteran wedding and portrait photographers reflect on their long and storied careers.
