The Best of Weddings 2009 Contest!!

After an incredible year, Kenneth and I are feeling so thankful for our amazing clients, great friends, and supportive family.  We traveled all over the South East photographing fantastic weddings, and we wanted to show some of our favorite images of the year. We came up with the fun idea of turning it into a contest so that one of our clients can win a cool prize!  So, here are the rules:

There will be a number above each image.  In order to vote, you choose the number of your favorite image and post it in a comment at the bottom of this blog post.  Only one vote per person, please!  No anonymous votes are allowed, but please be assured that we won’t be selling your email address or anything cheesy like that.:)The voting starts now, and will end on Friday, February 5th at 11:59pm. You have one week to cast your vote for your favorite image!

Of course, with every contest, there must be a PRIZE!  So, the winner of the contest will receive one 16×20 wall print of their choice from their wedding (it doesn’t have to be the winning image).  Woohoo!

As many of our clients know, Kenneth and I have a bit of a competition between ourselves about who gets the best shot at each wedding. So, one of us will be winning bragging rights for the rest of the year.:DWe had a hard time narrowing it down to these 23 images, so we look forward to seeing which image touches your heart!

So, with all of that out of the way, here are some of our favorite wedding images from 2009…we hope you enjoy them!

I’m not commenting to be included in the contest. That’s for your wonderful customers. I am commenting as a photographer who enjoys looking at your work. I looked at every image carefully and decided that my favorite is #17. A close second was #10.
Great job guys and good luck with the contest.
Roger
