Winners for the Valentine's Day Destination Wedding Contest

First of all I would like to thank the overwhelming response to this contest for full wedding day coverage. I read so many stories of love, joy and unique beautiful wedding plans. I want to thank everyone for taking the time for entering the contest. The criteria was based on the most interesting answers.

Congratulations to

Here are some snippets from their contest entry: "Our wedding will be a lot like us: from all over, bizarrely cohesive, and decidedly off-beat. We're having an afternoon tea party, complete with little sandwiches and scones, and are highly encouraging gloves and fancy hats. I will be wearing a 50s-inspired cocktail dress, and he will be wearing a leather kilt. There will be no dancing-- since we're having guests from four continents, we'd like to be able to talk to them instead of shouting at them. ....We want it to feel like an afternoon at a favorite aunt's-- somewhere comforting, warm, friendly and loving, full of the best-loved people in our lives. The college club is perfect for this vibe, as it's in one of Boston's oldest neighborhoods, and exudes that kind of settled-in, comfortable charm in all its built-in cabinetry and plaster work. We want it to be fun and relaxed, not stuffy and pretentious. But with kilts. everything is better with kilts"


On why they wanted me to photograph their wedding:

"We'd love to have you shoot our wedding because of your eye for detail, but for your ability to capture feeling and moments-- an uncertain smile, a tender touch of the fingers-- without seeming like you're violating the space. That takes ease and careful timing, and it shows in the finished work."
