Spring Has Sprung 2014 Engagement Photo Contest!

Again! Where do I begin? This past year was amazing and I am so happy I had the opportunity to capture these engagement sessions with my couples - some of who I’ve already had the privilege of photographing their weddings, and others are coming up soon.

Thank YOU for letting me begin your wedding journey with you and capture these moments you can cherish forever!

To show our appreciation, we are having a “Spring Has Sprung” contest with a ton of fun giveaways for our amazing 2014 couples:

The couple with the greatest number of comments on this post will receive a beautiful 16×24 gallery wrapped canvas with the image of their choice, from our home to yours, our best for your best! To top it off, every couple who receives at least 35 votes will win an 8×10 print of their contest image.

VOTE NOW!

Just write something spontaneous and sweet in the comments section below, addressing the couple of your choice.

Want to vote for more than one couple? Go for it by commenting a second, third or fourth time, but only one vote per couple (no voting for your favorite 100 times!).

If you really want a leg up in the contest, feel free to “share”, “tweet”, e-mail and shout this post from the rooftops to get your friends voting. We’ll count comments — through April 21st, then announce the winner!
