Yippeeee! We are VERY pleased to announce that MATT & WENDY have won our Big Wedding Photography Giveaway! This was a SUPER-DUPER hard decision to make (even after tallying up all of the votes), all of the finalists collectively brought in a total of over 1,400 votes! After reading through all of the votes and comments we feel a connection with each of the five finalists. We never anticipated such a huge response and have seen an OUTPOURING of support from loved ones and fellow blog followers. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone that participated for helping us make this all possible!

To Matt & Wendy, you will be receiving the following:
-up to 8 hours wedding day coverage
-online proofing
-two photographers (including myself & Justin)
-engagement session
-one 11x14 15 spread flush mount album from Renaissance Albums
-high resolution digital negatives on disc provided at one year anniversary

To the other four finalists, since we have fallen in love with each one of you and we feel strongly that you shouldn't have to walk away empty handed, we want to give each one of you an engagement session! This includes:
-up to two hours coverage
-online proofing
-high resolution digital negatives on disc

BUT, that's not it!! We have the most amazing and talented friends! Five other photographer friends of ours have let us know that they also would like to pitch in! They would like to shoot the other four weddings! So, each of these finalists couples is going to get their wedding shot for free (if they would like) by one of the following photography studios:


This is obviously based on the availability of each photography studio, etc. So if each of the couples would please email me at amelia@amelialyon.com, we will put you in touch with the other photographers and get the ball rolling!

Congratulations again to Matt & Wendy, we can't wait to meet you in person! We also want to take a quick minute to thank Renaissance Albums for generously donating a beautiful wedding album and Fotofafa for sponsoring the post processing!

Thank you again to everyone that supported, voted, commented, and participated! HAPPY NEW YEAR! See you all in 2010!

*More to come in the next few weeks: Best of from 2009, Best ring shots from 2009 & our last four weddings of 2009!!!
