Best of 2009 Weddings Contest!

by Eric on January 20, 2010

Let’s have some contest fun! I’ve pulled ten of my favorite stylized, wedding portrait images from 2009. These are the images I love to take, and I always work in a few at each wedding.

Which image do you think is the best one of 2009? Take a look at each image, and then leave a comment with the image number. The winning couple receives a mounted 11×14 of that image!

We’ll leave the contest open until February 3rd (two weeks for now). Only votes submitted via comments (not email) will be counted.

So, if you totally dropped the ball and didn’t send one of these fine couples a wedding gift, now is the perfect time to hook them up with an 11×14 print.

Update: My wife, Lisa, cannot decide on her favorite, so she has generously donated 1 extra point to each entry.

Let the voting begin!
