IT’S DONE! First and foremost, thank you to each and every person who entered the contest and for taking the time to submit or vote. I know how much hard work goes into participating in this contest. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, we just finished our 2014 adventurous wedding contest and are now presenting our 2014 Contest Winners. Without further ado, I’d like to go ahead and announce the winner and any other awards we are passing out:
1st Place: Dave-Anna and Kotatee
These two lucky winners get our iconic Lumen Package for free. This includes eight hours of photography, engagement session, CD with all final edited images, second shooter, and $500 product credit. Their votes totaled 4028. I can’t wait to see what adventurous ideas we come up with for their engagement session and wedding!
Second Place: Emily and Matt
I’ve known Emily since elementary school and I’m so happy for her and her fiance Matt! I’m excited to announce that they’ve won 40% any of our products or packages! They got out the vote with 3487 total votes.
Third Place: Kateri and Knute
These two awesome competitors joined a little after some of the other competitors but came up huge to win third place. For all their hard work, they’ll receive 20% off any of our products or packages. These two got 1842 votes. Seriously though, I loved their awesome description. You two sound absolutely awesome and I really hope to work with you!
Honorable Mention: Rhiannon
Rhiannon’s idea was absolutely neat! Duluth being the beautiful and iconic location in Minnesota would be the perfect place to get some adventurous engagement photos. Rhiannon got 818 total votes and gets a 15% discount for all of her hard work!
Everyone else who submitted, keep your eyes open for a thank you email with a small token of appreciation for all your hard work and dedication to your friends, family, and other contestants! Lumen Photography is what it is because of awesome people like you and I’m incredibly proud of all your hard work! I really hope you stick around and keep-up with Lumen Photography and all of our adventurous updates on our Minnesota Wedding Blog. If you didn’t participate in the contest but would love to capture some adventurous photos, we are booking for 2015 and into 2016 now! Contact us here. Thanks.
Methodology: Shortstack used a random number generator of the total number of votes with each person having specific numbers assigned to them. It then found a random number and if it correlated with first place, that person won! Second and third place were determined by me as the people who had the highest number of votes (excluding the first place winner if they had more). Last piece of house keeping, the images on this page with the exception of the ring photo were not taken by Lumen Photography. In accordance with the contest TOS, we have been given permission to use the images.
