Photography Giveaway! Share your Valentine’s Day Story and Win.
Above is the video I made for my wife after a trip to Oregon to go wine tasting. It was a few months into our dating and that weekend is the first time that I told Robin I loved her. It was right around Valentine’s day.
I want to give YOU a unique and romantic photo session. All I ask in return is inspiration from my readers.

Valentine’s Giveaway Winner | Congratulations Adrienne!
I was touched to read so many great stories and ideas from our Valentine’s Day giveaway contest. Thank you all for participating and I wish I could take photos for each one of you. I really do.
This year’s winner is Adrienne who sent in this letter:
“My fiancé and I are getting married in spring 2011. We both love the outdoors and some of our most romantic getaways have been backpacking trips. We love the feeling of standing on top of a mountain, alone, where we can see the whole world around us. It makes you feel alive! I want our engagement photos to capture our love of adventuring together.
Somewhere like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shorty_jooce/3397158836/in/set-72157616101176008/ but with me instead of beef jerkey.
Although I know it’s not feasible to take a photographer backpacking, I think a great photoshoot would be at the top of a mountain, or somewhere else relatively remote where you can see into the distance. I’m going to be spending this summer in Seattle for work, and I’ve heard there’s great backpacking in the area. I’m not familiar with Seattle yet, but there must be some nearby mountains where you can drive most of the way to the top & then take a 20-minute hike to a place with a view. My fiancé can carry all the equipment if necessary — he’s great at carrying things up mountains. “
I’m excited to make some great photos for Adrienne and her fiance who will be here this summer and who share a love of the outdoors.
And watch out. I MAY take you up on the offer of your fiance schlepping my gear up the mountains!
*Stay tuned for pictures from the shoot*
