Our Finalists | 2016 Wedding Photography Giveaway

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED! THANK YOU TO ALL THAT VOTED!

CONGRATULATIONS NINA AND JC!

One again I am thrilled by all of our contest entries and taken back by the stories shared with me. I am always so excited to read the stories from all of the deserving couples that have entered the contest. It really is just so hard to narrow the entries down to three couples...

Again, I would like to thank all of the couples for sharing your stories with us. I know all of you are deserving in one way or another and your weddings will be amazing and the best day of your lives.

Without further ado, I would like to share our final three as well as to open up voting. I am going to do this a little differently this year as I usually share the names/pictures of the couples with a bit of the stories shared with me. This year, along with their names/pictures, I am going to share each of the three "fun facts" the couples have shared about themselves!

As always, I do ask that everyone be respectful and honest with your votes... AKA No cheating! ;)

Nina and JC

Nina and JC | Concept-A Photography | Contest Finalist

Three Fun Facts:

•      Nina and JC’s first road trip was to Hilton Head Island during Easter 2015 to visit Nina’s grandparents. The island holds a special place in their hearts.
•      Nina felt the ring in JC’s pocket the day he was going to propose but did not know it was a ring thanks to JC’s quick cover up.
•      The same tie that Nina had chosen during the blind date the summer that they met was the same tie that JC wrapped up as a present to give to Nina on Christmas day leading into the proposal. 


Mallory and Cliff

Mallory and Cliff | Concept-A Photography | Contest Finalist

Three Fun Facts:

•     On their very first date (before they actually started dating), it came time for Cliff to drop Mallory off at her parent's house. He had to carry her up the stairs and ring the doorbell...too much Grand Marnier!
•      Mallory calls Cliff Mr. Pickle - very interesting story behind this one!
•      Cliff dated a girl named Mallory before this Mallory, haha!


Jonna and Logan

Jonna and Logan | Concept-A Photography | Contest Finalist

Three Fun Facts:

•      We both go on a mission trip every summer for a week.  I've gone on my trip for 9 years, and she's gone on her trip for 13 years.
•      I can't dance on my own, but when I mirror her moves I become socially acceptable as a dancer.  The "whip & nae nae" are being practiced for the reception.
•     We recently got two puppies who we named Chewbacca and Han Solo


Please share with family and friends as VOTING IS NOW CLOSED!!

DUE TO SOME QUESTIONABLE ACTIVITY THE POLL HAS BEEN RESET. ~ 02.13.16 (12.30pm)

AGAIN, Please be respectful/honest with votes.

Giving Back (Our Way) | 2016 Free Wedding Photography Contest

It's that time again!!! The holidays are once again upon us and the year is coming to an end...

We are so thankful for all of the opportunities we have been given, and we owe that to every one of our couples. We are not in the business of saving lives, but in our attempt to “give back” and as a small token of appreciation to everyone that has believed is us along the way, we like to put on this annual contest! 

In tradition, we would like to “give back” (our way), and once again hold our contest for:

FREE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY!! 

There are so many couples out there that have overcome obstacles together. There are so many couples out there who financially just don't have the budget for a professional photographer and could use a break. There are so many couples out there that give their all for others and never ask for anything in return.

It is for those couples, that we want to “give back” by offering a free wedding photography package to one deserving couple!

Jessica and Trevor | Hilton Head Wedding | 2015 Contest Winners

It is always and honor to give back, and I am so grateful that I am able to do so... Our wedding photography contest, which I have used as my opportunity to give back, happens once a year, and selects one deserving couple.

I always look forward to the weddings of my contest winners. l always meet the greatest people and their weddings are filled with so much love... Jessica and Trevor's Big Day was no exception!

Jessica and Trevor chose the Spring Lake Pavilion at Hilton Head Plantation for their wedding ceremony and venue. The Pavilion is nestled on quiet Spring Lake Lagoon, which holds gorgeous landscapes and views. 

We had such a great time in Hilton Head... Jessica and Trevor's wedding was a perfect amount of vintage touches and Lowcountry charm. It was such a great celebration to be a part of! We are honored to be part of your day, and thank you for making us feel so appreciated! :)

Congrats again to Jessica and Trevor! May the future hold your happiness!

On to some images from the day...
