Talk about one heck of a month for Don Mears Photography.\u00a0 First we were told by Virginia Living Magazine\u2122 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.\u00a0 It’s truly an honor to be included among their chosen best.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Shortly after that wonderful news, Richmond Magazine\u2122 called to let us know that we were voted the #1 wedding photography studio in Richmond.\u00a0 An equally humbling honor, but different because it was a collection of votes from all of you;\u00a0 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.\u00a0 To us, that means everything.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Heck, it made our decade.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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!<\/p>\n
