What a year! We (the Blumes!) had such an amazing time celebrating — and of course photographing! — the marriages of these extraordinary couples. Congrats to all of you enjoying your first holiday season as a married couple!
The couples you see below inspired us with their love, and we’re better for knowing them. That’s the kind of impact we hope to make in their lives, too. The thriving marriages we see now tell us that the past twelve months have been a true success! If you’re curious about our year-in-review, it involved a TEDx Talk, exciting photo shoots around the world, humbling honors and exciting opportunities, a brand new studio space (come visit us!), and most personally a brand new little boy added to our family!
Yet…
…all of it revolved around these beautiful newlywed couples whose love and friendship brought us so much joy! To thank them for letting us into your lives, trusting us to tell their stories, and allowing our hands to create artwork their families will touch for generations, we’re ending this year with a fun giveaway!
- The couple with the greatest number of comments on this post (in the “Comments” section below) will receive a beautiful 16×20 gallery wrapped canvas, from our home to yours!
- Every couple who receives at least 25 votes will win a retouched print image,
- Every couple who receives at least 50 votes will win a mounted enlargement,
- Bonus: Every voter — that’s you! — is also entered to win a $25 Amazon Gift Certificate. After all, any friend of these sweet couples is a friend of ours!
It’s easy to vote: just write something creative or caring in the “comments” section below for the couple of your choice!
Just click to Share on Facebook or Tweet this post and get your friends voting! Even turn your New Year’s get-together into a “get out the vote” party!
