The last few days have been a whirlwind. As a wedding photographer, the best parts of my day are seeing the bride and groom together on what is the happiest day of their lives to that point. I love being able to follow the bride and groom around after the ceremony for just a few fleeting moments before the chaos of the reception begins. One thing that I always tell my clients…there are two options, but one of the most important times of the day is that time that you spend together. Yes, I realize that there are cocktail hours and mingling to be done. However, as a wedding photographer, it is my job to make sure that you, the bride and groom, have photos of yourselves. They don’t take long. But, that is why I recommend doing either a First Look or allowing ample time after the ceremony and traditional portraits for bride and groom portraits.
I closed voting yesterday at Noon but before it closed, I watched the votes pour in. From the beginning it was predominately a three way race. It went back and forth and back and forth, over and over. Then voting ended. And then… then evitable happened.
Yep. You guessed it. A TIE. Yes. A tie. I sat back and thought about how I would handle that. I wasn’t prepared for a tie. I know when running a contest you should always be prepared. I entertained the option of posting a poll for 24 hours and seeing what happened. But then, my inner wedding photographer and bride kicked in. Everyone deserves professional photography on their wedding day. And while I can’t give wedding photography to every couple that entered (and I wish that I could), I have decided that for both winners… Both couples… I will provide their wedding photography. In the true spirit of the game and the spirit of Paying it Forward.
I would like to congratulate…
Lisa and Dan and Barbara and Tom!!
Congratulations everyone. It was a hard fought battle and I appreciate your gratefulness throughout this process.
