“I’ve never even kicked a soccer ball!” Those are the first words I said to my future husband. I knew that first day that there was something special about Brent. He was kind and patient with me. When Brent gave me a crash course on playing soccer, it was the first of many times that he would encourage me to try and be my very best. He taught me without making me feel embarrassed and assured me that I would do fine. Brent’s encouragement has helped me to get through both major crises- such as the loss of a loved one, and everyday struggles such as getting the motivation to finish a project. Although our relationship seems ordinary, I know that it is much more. Our eleven year relationship has overcome the challenges of a long distance romance. When we went to college, I stayed in Maryland while Brent went to South Dakota. The trip takes 24 hours one way! Brent and I had to base our relationship on phone conversations and e-mail whenever school was in session. (I also racked up a ton of frequent flyer miles!) It was hard but the wait was worth it. This past summer, Brent surprised me with a trip to Virginia Beach. He proposed on the beach underneath a beautiful star-filled sky. An engagement shoot from a fabulous photographer would be the perfect way to capture some of the joy I feel every day that I am with my man. We have never had professional photographs taken, so an engagement shoot would be an amazing opportunity. Thank you for taking the time to read and share the story of so many exceptional couples.

Maddy Booth and Greg Seiler deserve to win because not only are they the nicest people you have ever met. They make you believe in love and have such a caring wonderful relationship with each other!

I saw this post and I wasn’t going to bother entering at first because I didn’t really want to base my answer on the fact that we each have sick parents or my fiance Brian’s also has risks his life everyday at work… Yes, those things are tough, but they don’t define us as a couple. What defines us is how we support one another through all of those things on a daily basis.

I never really allowed myself to let go with anyone before I met Brian. I always had one foot out of the door. I think I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him when he gave up a fun bachelor weekend to attend my grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary party in North Carolina. I noticed Brian talking to my grandmother from across the room and when I approached them, she was saying, “Well, expect to not like one another sometimes. Nick and I have probably not liked one another for a couple of years over the past 50 if you add up all the days that we struggled. But it’s worth it.” Brian had asked her what it took to make a 50-year marriage work, and she was all too happy to share what she’d learned.

After we walked away, he said, “I’m up for that. Are you?” On the way home from the trip, we took a detour… to shop for an engagement ring.

I know — and my grandmother agrees — we have what it takes to be married for 50+ years. Because we find joy in our relationship every day despite life’s difficulties and although we know the journey won’t be easy, we have clear eyes and open hearts and complete faith that we can weather the storms together.

Thanks for considering us!

My best friend Emily and her fiance Andrew are the most deserving couple of this offer. First…they would be the most appreciative.

Second, Emily has the biggest heart I’ve ever known. Her and Andrew have withstood distance throughout their whole relationship and still make sure to know that each other is the priority. I met Emily at Maryville College and Andrew was in Virginia. Then, Emily went to the Peace Corps in Kazakhstan. Things were going great with Andrew, but she took her calling to go and help the world, once again proof of her caring heart and how unselfish she really is.

She ended up coming home because of the danger in Kazakhstan and we are all beyond thankful that she is alive and well.

Not only was it good news that she was home, but Andrew popped the question!! They decided on the fall for a wedding, but now they have found out that Andrew’s dad has cancer.

Emily has always kept her promises, always made people feel like they are worth something and always makes everyone so proud in any endeavor she is part of. I know that she would make your photopgraphy blogs stand out, reach people, and be for the right cause.

As a teacher, I always like to see people that do the right things, even through hurt, get rewarded. I think this would be the perfect chance. Every sweet couple deserves a reward and love, but I feel very confident in saying that if this contest is true and for the right reasons…Emily and Andrew will win.

Dear Hannah,
I also am voting for Emily and Andrew!!! They have been through a lot, but my favorite thing about them is how much they love each other… not outwardly visable, you have to watch them closely. Not sure what I like more, the way Emily laughs when she is around him, or the way Andrew’s eyes light up and adore her every move. Would love to have you capture these little moments forever! Love, Katie

Hi,
My daughter Emily and her fiance Andrew really deserve this photography package! They have been dating off and on for 7 years and been through a lot of tough times. Emily went to college in TN and they dated long distance, he was here in VA. Then after graduation her lifelong dream of joining the Peace Corps came true and she left a year ago for Kazakhstan. This was hard on their relationship, but they persevered and Andrew was there for her through many tough times. She had a traumatic experience there (which I won’t post) but because of her and some other young women they actually had to stop the program in Kazakhstan because of the danger. So when she came home Andrew proposed in January. They wanted to get marred this fall, but now his dad has been diagnosed with cancer. Help this couple please!! They need a bit of good luck. Thanks!!

i liked your facebook page! my fiance chris and i deserve your free engagement session, most importantly because i (that’s right, just me, not my fiance) am paying for the entire wedding myself. so there isn’t a big budget for extras. would love the opportunity to snag some fabulous photos of the two of us, because your work is gorgeous!!
