I know I’m a month behind but it’s finally here – the 2012 Best of Weddings contest!
I’m very grateful for 2012 and all of the couple’s I worked with this past year. To all of you, thank you. As a way to give to celebrate these couples I’m doing a good old fashion contest of the voting kind.
The voting is closed and the winners are… Couple 11: Amanda and Aaron!

- The couple with the most votes wins a 24×16 canvas to hang in their house! They get to pick the photo that’s printed on it too.
- The winning couple thanks you profusely for the rest of their life, constantly trying to find ways to repay you for your vote (Ok, I can’t promise this but I’m sure they would be very grateful!)

How could you not love couple 15′s shot with Lorissa’s veil getting swept up in the wind! And their pure joy in each just shines through! Love love love!
#7 jeni and jacob! It was a great time, and as previously stated we had to restock on booze. Glad to help you guys celebrate this wonderful day!
Jake & Jeni, #7. It’s wonderful to have Jeni as my first granddaughter-in-law. What a welcome addition to the “fabulous Fortune family.”
This is a great collection of some of the best from your weddings this year. I really like the perspective on the shot of couple #10 Dana and Adam.
#15 Lorissa and John
Definitely #15 Lorissa and John … The cake shots got me. You captured love, happiness, and their joy through all of them, and the pics of the cake cutting showed Lorissa’s witty character.
Jeni & Jake – #7!
