A reminder about the SWS {PHOTO CONTEST: ROUND 2} that ends this coming Monday–get shooting and click the link for more details. We are so excited about this contest!
Here is our winner from the the SWS Photo Contest Round, 1shot by the fabulous {Gandy Photographers}.
We have a fantastic giveaway up next with {Lucky Designs}.
Stay tuned!
We are SO excited about this contest!
Who’s it for? Everyone! Brides, photographers, bloglovers, designers, artists, friends…anyone can get into this one and win!
What do I have to do? Take a picture (yes, it can be with your disposable camera or your fancy-schmancy pro equipment) of any tangible item that you create to say "SWS" or "I LOVE SWS". No computer-generated text here. You can draw it, make it out of paper clips on your desk, have your 2 year old scribble it for fun, have your bride and groom sign it with their fingers, write it in the sand or snow, place your SWS sign somewhere fun or in someone’s hands and snap a pic of it, make it out of paper mache, your favorite wedding clippings, flowers, buttons, glitter, or any combination of materials you desire! Get crafty, get creative, and maybe even break out those finger paints you’ve been dying to play with again since you were 10. Again, no "PhotoShopping" the letters in, you have to do it the old fashioned [fun] way.
Details: Enter as many images as you wish (collages of several images are great too). Send your entries to [email protected] as jpeg attachments. Contest ends Monday the 26th, so you have about 10 days to have fun with this. We will post the finalists on Tuesday the 27th and YOU get to vote on your favorite this time!
Prize: Take your pick~ businesses, designers, vendors: an ad on our blog for a month OR brides, friends, blog lovers: a $25 {Paper-Source} gift card!
***We have another very exciting contest coming up this month with {Lucky Designs}! More to come on that later… have fun!

{Gandy Photographers} in Valdosta, GA for this fabulous southern image…
From the photographer: We took the images last night at a rehearsal dinner in Lakepark, Georgia. Justin and Susanna had everything decorated with a Kentucky Derby theme since this weekend is the Kentucky Derby. Note the grooms pants that have horses on them [and they are drinking mint juleps!]. We will be shooting their wedding today and it is going to be gorgeous!
Congratulations Jeff and Julie Gandy and the couple for their winning photo! Jeff and Julie win an ad on the blog for a month and Justin and Suzanna, shoot us an email and we have something special for you too. We look forward to seeing the rest of the images from this wedding. If they are even half as fun as Justin’s pants are, we are so excited!

I really want to know what page they were looking at in the photo. He’s so into it and she seems completely tickled. Too cute! Great job Jeff and Julie…can’t wait to see the wedding photos.

What a great photo. It looked so natural and candid, just one of those photo opportunities you can’t pass up…..and to win first place! Congratulations, Jeff and Julie Gandy. From Teresa Emrich (Julie’s kindergarten teacher and novice photographer)
