today is as good a day as any for a…

Is everyone excited?  Awesome; you should be!  Sooooo I haven’t blogged for about two weeks, and I feel kinda guilty about it.  Yes, I was having a glorious holiday and some much needed time off, but I didn’t mean to neglect the blog!  :P

I had decided to gather up a ‘best of’ series of some of my favourite shots from 2009 to reflect on what I’ve accomplished this year, and to kick off 2010.   I was getting ready to post them a few minutes ago…. when I decided that was just kinda boring for a grand return from a two week hiatus AND the start of the year.   So…. I decided to turn it into a competition.  :D

To all the awesome, super cool couples that I photographed last year:  If you made it into my favourite engagement shots of the year (featured below), you are in the running.

PRIZE: A ‘Just Because’ photo session with me on or around your first anniversary.  The possibilities for this shoot are endless, and believe me – I have a ton of cool ideas.  The only limitation is that it takes place somewhere in the Vancouver /  Lower Mainland area.

RULES: Either leave a comment on this blog post with the couple’s names or a description of the image, or vote for your favourite here on Facebook. You can vote for as many couples as you like, but only once per couple.  YES, you can vote for yourself.  YES, you can get your friends, co-workers, cousins, cousins friends AND your mom to vote for you.   If your friend sent you here to vote for her but you don’t like her image the best, YES, you can vote for her anyway.  :D

Some lucky couples have two images included – votes from both images will be added together for those couples.

Voting ends Monday, **JANUARY** 11th at 11:59pm.  The winners will be announced to the world on the blog Tuesday morning.

Julie and Ryan at Queen Elizabeth Park:

Jessica & Jason in Fort Langley:

Jenny & Shawn at Westminster Abbey:

Tina & PJ at Peace Arch Park:

Colby & Steve at Crescent Beach:

Breanne & Ryan at Crescent Beach:

Emily & Paul at Vandusen Gardens:

Jen & Rob at Campbell Valley Park:

Brenda and Brian at their farm in Richmond:

Jessica and Curtis in a Port Kells field:

Kelly & Chad at Queen Elizabeth Park:

Wafa & Bilal at Stanley Park:

These last ones are from my sister’s and brother-in-law’s engagement session at SFU.  They made my ‘favourites’ cut, but her and Mike are obviously disqualified.  Sorry Kate!  :P

CLICK HERE to vote now on Facebook, or leave your vote in the comment box below.

I hope you’re all having a good Tuesday, and Good Luck everone!

Elaine - Emily and Paul’s photograph is brillian! The fail foilage in the forground and background are very symbolic of the next stage in their relationship. Stepping from their dating life, and into their lifetime together as a soon to be married couple.
