Every year I host a contest… and I say “every year” like I’ve been doing this forever… really, this is only the 3rd annual “Love Shots” contest! I’m not really sure where it got its’ name… I just came up with it! But it originated as a “Valentine’s Day” contest. Welp! I was crazy busy around that time this year and so I forgot to post it! But have no fear! It’s back again and I can’t WAIT to see who wins! EVERY WEDDING I shot from LAST February through THIS PAST February is entered in the contest. ONE COUPLE will win a 20×30 CANVAS at the end! All they need to do to win is have the MOST VOTES by MONDAY April 2nd at 12pm.
They are allowed to share, tweet, blog, call grandma… WHATEVER they want to get votes in! If you’re a faithful blog stalker and you don’t even KNOW these people…. that doesn’t matter! Just vote for your favorite wedding!! Some people get realllllly into this! I have to remind myself that no matter what, I can’t give away 34 MASSIVE canvases… even though I would love to. haha. So unlike last year… there will be only ONE winner… unless there is a tie!:) So goodluck couples!!! I rooting for you all!!! The images are not in any particular order! Vote for your favorite at the bottom of the post! *** edited to add: The couple who wins will get to choose their OWN favorite image for their canvas! ***
