\"ALIST_winner_2014\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As is pretty typical for our lives as photographers, parents, and business owners, this year has been filled with wonderful events, trying times, and a little bit of beautiful calm on occasion. \u00a0And, as is typical, the year has flown by faster than we would have liked. \u00a0It was in the midst of our last flurry of Fall weddings that we got the call from Richmond Bride Magazine to let us know that we had been chosen as the top wedding photographers for 2014.<\/p>\n

Elated is a word you can use for what we felt after that phone call. \u00a0Thrilled. \u00a0Honored. \u00a0But more than that we felt a simple satisfaction. \u00a0Lindsay and I have been photographing weddings in Richmond for 10 years. \u00a0Through the birth of both children, a really trying economic downturn, and just your normal everyday affairs, we’ve built a business and a life we can be proud of. \u00a0From the very beginning of our life as wedding photographers\u00a0we wanted to be known for our authenticity; that our images would reflect who we are and who our couples are. \u00a0We wanted the moments that we captured to be a reflection of more than just the trends of now,\u00a0but rather something our couples would share happily through generations. \u00a0To be recognized for that by your peers, your clients, and the general public means more to us than is possible to explain.<\/p>\n

So as responsible photographers we’ll try to do it the best way we know how. \u00a0With images.<\/p>\n

Here is Part 1 (it was simply too big for one slideshow) of our “Best of 2014”. \u00a0It was impossible to include every image that we loved but this is a pretty good shot at it. \u00a0Stay tuned for Part 2 of the slideshow and another big announcement for Don Mears Photography.<\/p>\n

Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
