Let us officially introduce to you the 2013 winners of our Wedding Giveaway Contest...
<<<drumroll please>>>
...Stephen Hasselbach and Allison Cody!
This amazing couple entered our contest at the beginning of the year and worked their tails off with posts, requests, messages, pleas and huge amount of effort to rank first in our giveaway. So many of their friends and family also worked hard to help gather the votes that boosted them into first place quickly, and helped them hold that position throughout the length of the contest. I'm sure Stephen and Allison are extremely grateful for their help!
This past week Kevin and I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting up with Allison and Stephen in Bridgewater for some super sweet engagement portraits together, and with Bentley (their new baby ... er, I mean ... puppy). The farm we headed to for the session was GORGEOUS and offered a ton of great locations for the pictures. Unfortunately, the sun set way too fast (as it always tends to do), but we were still able to get some incredible evening and nighttime shots together. Our session was only driven to an end by the mob of voracious mosquitoes! We all got eaten alive.
Stephen and Allison are a wonderful couple and we loved getting to know them over the course of the evening. Their wedding is going to be a beautiful affair and we can't wait until next spring so we can photograph them again! Congratulations again you two! We hope you enjoy this little glimpse of your portraits. :)

Dan and Alyssa's wedding is definitely being added to our list of favorite weddings! You really couldn't meet two nicer, more genuine and sweet people. The sincerity and enthusiasm in their love was obvious in every touch, every embrace and every kiss. We love working with couples as in love as this!
Dan and Alyssa have dated for many years, and can date back their relationship to a pastime they both enjoy - Civil War Reenacting. In fact, both of their families are heavily involved in reenactment and travel all over the country to attend events. It is such a fascinating hobby and I think it is so wonderful that it is something they can continue participating in now as a married couple.
In honor of their Civil War Era dedication, Alyssa's dress (which was lovingly handmade by her mother-in-law) is a reflection of 19th century design, with a modern touch. Her hair was also meant to reflect times gone by with a hint toward the early 1900s. There was so much thought and effort put into every detail of Dan and Alyssa's wedding, and both families were intimately involved in so many of the details. It is so neat to witness such strong family bonds and deep, committed family love!
These teasers are but a small glimpse of the very full day. There are so many moments and details that we would love to share and cannot wait to share the remainder of Alyssa and Dan's proofs with them soon.
