TARA AND STEVEN!!!

(Tara+Steven's Story)

Congratulations you two!! We really look forward to meeting you and photographing your wedding!!

Again (I just can't say this enough) THANK YOU to everyone who voted for all the couples that entered! We had exactly 1,111 votes!! (It would have really freaked me out if we had had 1,010... maybe 1,111 is a sign we need to do this again next year for our 11th anniversary!)

The bad thing about this contest hit Danielle and I tonight as we were tallying the votes... eight couples didn't win. :( We're super excited for Tara and Steven, but it stinks that everyone couldn't win! After reading all of the stories, we feel like we know you all. But what can we do? That's the nature of a contest, right? But couples, check your email: we are going to offer you a little something for being runners-up as a Thank You for entering!!

And to everyone who voted for Tara and Steven, feel free to leave them some comments below! I'm sure they'd love to hear from you. :)

We are absolutely thrilled that we decided to do this contest and are so thankful that we have been blessed with 10 years of marriage and 10 years of photographing weddings together. It will be an honor and a privilege to give a little back and do something awesome for this cool couple.

Thank you to all that entered and opened up their lives to us. Thank you to every single person that voted. And thank you to all of our "fans" out there that love us. We love you all too!

ps: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
