2013: Engagements! | Maine Engagement Photographer | New England Engagement Photographer

Here’s another 2013 recap post… ENGAGEMENTS! 2013 was a big year for engagement sessions and I had so much fun. In my opinion they’re such an important precursor to your wedding photos — they help you get to know your photographer in the same capacity that you’ll be interacting on the wedding day, they make you feel more comfortable and confident all around, and they make you realize that even if you might FEEL awkward in photos, you LOOK amazing! This blog post is also a CONTEST!!! If you’re viewing this, leave a comment with your favorite # photo. The photo with the most votes on January 3rd, 2014 at midnight EST will win, and that couple will receive a 16″x20″ canvas wrap of the winning photo… WOOHOO! So share this with your friends & family and encourage them to vote! <3

Update: Voting is now CLOSED as of MIDNIGHT EST on Friday January 3rd!

Update #2: The votes are in!!! AMANDA & KEVIN are the winners with 117 votes! CONGRATS! <3
