Sean is always so good at picking out my best images and examining them carefully to make sure they’re just right for print.  I have to say, it is largely because of him that I’ve won anything at all!  He’s always so excited, just as if it were his own win, and makes a big fuss over it – always totally floored that I’m not doing a huge victory dance.  What can I say?  He’s so much more competitive than me. :o)  

Well today I am proud to announce that Sean not only took 1st place in the “Bride and Groom Together” category, he did it with a score of 90, which is absolutely HUGE!  I’m so excited for him and the win is so well-deserved!  Congratulations my love!  I might even do a victory dance for you! :o)

In case you’d like to see the winning image, here it is:
