I just got my hands on the Spring 2011 issue of i do!, the beautiful new publication from Michelle Kilgore and Kim Pietsch at Weddings by Michelle. It’s a lovely issue that highlights the premiere level of service that Weddings by Michelle provides, and offers plenty of insight and inspiration to those of you planning your own weddings! The gals have been working extremely hard on this for a very long time, and the effort really shows. Bonus: it features Becky and Zach’s wedding, one of my favorite 2010 events with Style Events at the Norfolk Botanical Garden and the Norfolk Marriott. The issues are being distributed now, so keep an eye out!

Best of Wedding Photography 2011 Winner

Best of Wedding Photography Justin Hankins

I’m extremely honored to have been selected a Best of Weddings vendor by The Knot for two consecutive years. The Best of Weddings nod is very special to me because it comes directly from brides and reflects the care I strive to provide every couple. Photography is obviously a creative adventure, but the true art in my work rests in how I take care of people. It’s only through the personal relationships and trust we build that any of the magic comes together on the other side of the lens. So thank you to my lovely couples who grew with me over the past years and trusted me with their most precious moments. And hello to all of you planning your weddings in 2011! I still have a few open dates in prime wedding season, so book quickly! :)

2011 Bride’s Choice Award

Bride's Choice Award Winner Justin Hankins

Just got word from Wedding Wire that I received a 2011 Bride’s Choice Award. This award recognizes the top 5 percent of local wedding professionals, and is based on recommendations from couples just like you. (Here’s what brides are saying about me :) If you’re not familiar with WeddingWire, head over to their site and start using it in your planning process. With so many vendors in the wedding industry, and with as much money as you’re investing in your plans, it’s important to review first-hand references from previous clients. Any vendor can put a bunch of “testimonials” on their website, but third-party sites like The Knot and Wedding Wire offer a more unbiased, honest look.
