We have had an awesome response and every entrant is beyond beautiful!!

Until then here's a 'mini' sneak peek for Vanessa and Rick from their wedding day this past Saturday!!! Congratulations you two!! What an honor and a pleasure to be able to share in your most amazing day - thank you so much for allowing me to be there to share in your special moments and also to capture your love story through my lens...it was truly an honor! A little blustery outside, but amazing nonetheless. Here is one I love of you two...you two are just beautiful together. I pray the Lord blesses you with many many joyful and wonderful years together!! And don't worry, there's plenty more, I just snagged one quickly as I swept through your day in images today. I'll be sure and post a couple more as I go along. Thank you again and congratulations you two!!!!

Also, I am seeing the blog counter go crazy lately...so I know you are all out there...and reading here :) Thank you!! That's so exciting!!! I feel like doing something fun...let's do something fun for Vanessa and Rick- are you with me??? Let's see how many comments we can get posted on this entry wishing Vanessa and Rick congrats, a happy wonderful life together, what you like about the above image etc. etc. BEFORE I post the next blog entry with our little beauty modeling contest. If we can get 25 comments on here before that time Vanessa and Rick will win an 8x10 professional print of THIS image - yay!!! 50 comments? an 11x14 mounted print!!! 100 comments - a 16x20 mounted print!!! Lets see it everyone - if you've ever wanted to leave a comment...the time is NOW!! :) Get all your friends, everyone you know, your family, your neighbors - get everyone to comment for Vanessa and Rick!!!

Whew! Okay, now that I have THAT out of my system ;) I hope everyone is having a great week so far - I also hope you have been able to warm up!! Sheesh, this weather is making me crazy!! Thank goodness we have Vanessa's flowers to cheer us up...aren't they unbelievable!?!? See you soon!!!, Love ~R.........:)

***Edited to Add***

YAY for Vanessa and Rick!!! So far they've won the 8x10 professional print!! Let's see, it's 4:36 p.m. my time....I am going to go ahead and give everyone until 11:00 p.m. tonight to add their comments (please leave your name too so Vanessa and Rick can see who they are from!! :) and try to win them some more goodies!! Remember, hit 50 and they get the 11x14, hit 100 and they win the 16x20 - more than a 100???? Seriously - I think you can do it!! Hmmm what should they win for over 100 comments??? Oh okay, how about all 3 plus a dvd slideshow of wedding images set to music??!?! YES! I think that would be awesome!! Let's go everyone - this party has been started....let's really GET IT GOING now!! See you at 11 pm tonight!!!

I hope you both are very happy together. It's such an amazing gift from God to find the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with. A piece of advice, make lots of happy memories, and when the bad times come(and they will) trust in the Lord to get you through. Great pic Rosie!!
