Talk about one heck of a month for Don Mears Photography.  First we were told by Virginia Living Magazine™ that we were voted one of Virginia’s Best Wedding photographers, a distinction given to only a select few studios throughout the entire state. Virginia Living is a very elegant magazine and we’ve always admired its layout and content, definitely a top-rate publication for our beautiful state.  It’s truly an honor to be included among their chosen best.  Their Weddings special edition will be out after the first of the year and we’ll certainly be posting again about that once it does.

Shortly after that wonderful news, Richmond Magazine™ called to let us know that we were voted the #1 wedding photography studio in Richmond.  An equally humbling honor, but different because it was a collection of votes from all of you;  our past couples and families, our current clients who’ve yet to be photographed, and all our friends and fellow vendors from around the area.  To us, that means everything.  From our inauspicious beginnings as a fledgling studio pushing out in to the world of wedding photography to now being voted as the top studio by our beloved clients, colleagues, and fellow Richmonders has made our year.  Heck, it made our decade.

We know in the world of photography that it seems image is everything, but we’ve always felt that trust and relationships are on equal footing.  Well, thank you to the hundreds of couples, families, and vendors that have put their trust in us over the past years to capture some of the best moments in their lives.  Here’s a little preview (heavily biased in our favor, of course) of the A-List by Richmond Weddings, but make sure you pick up a copy of your own!
