Throughout the month of November, our Photo of the Day series will be taken over by each of Rangefinder‘s newly minted 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography in 2019. The 30 honorees are featured in our November issue, and each of their full, 30-photo submissions, reviewed by the competition judges, can be found in our online gallery. For more behind-the-scenes insights, follow us on Instagram.

Janine Licare says that as a wedding photographer, finding your color palette is very important. “True color is beautiful as it is and my editing is light and natural; colors should be authentic and celebrated, not muted or overly saturated.”

Based in San Francisco, Licare also strives to match her digital images as closely to her film ones as possible. “When I receive my film scans back,” she says, “it helps me remember exactly what that moment actually looked like. I use those colors and that light to edit the wedding day. I try to capture the world as it is and match colors and mood as closely to how it was at the time the image was taken.”

In the gallery above are her behind-the-scenes insights on three of the photos from her submission this year.
