Seeing her daughter for the first time as a bride almost always brings a mom to tears, and drives her “baby girl” straight into her arms. Even if your mom isn't the type to get overwhelmed, be sure you have lots of tissues on hand for these emotional moments and the right photographer to capture them. Because photo-ops like the ones shown here will never come again.

It's not just moms. Everyone cries at weddings, family, friends, photographers, and even the occasional bystander. We love featuring real moments like these and we're just getting started!
