I just opened my email up on Friday and was really pleased to see this:

WeddingWireWedding Wire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that Laura Ryan Photography has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means Laura Ryan Photography is one of the very best.

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.

I would like to thank, past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping Laura Ryan Photography win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

Thank you  Christine, @ Modern Romance, an awesome blog who just wrote about a wedding I did last year!

The link to the above wedding is here to see more pics

I have to also blog about Christine’s amazing and wonderfully handcrafted shawls she makes for wedding dresses and not to mention her delicate handcrafted hair pieces  which she offers on her etsy shop, Modern Romance . I think these wraps  and hairpieces would make a unique and beautiful statement to any modern or classic look..check them out..

Here are some pics from her etsy shop:

A vineyard out east during a December night, poppies, a handmade  light pink wedding dress made by her close friend, a European style sit down dinner and one strobe in the wine cellar….I think also this cake was  one of the best wedding cakes of 2008!

Rock N Roll Bride just did a posting of a rustic  wedding I did back in November 2008.

Kat’s site has some of the most interesting, unique ideas for weddings.. Check it out!!!
