It’s with great pleasure I write this entry to share the engagement session of Courtney & Scott.\u00a0 This slideshow features some of my favorite images from the day as well as music that I wrote and recorded on guitar and dobro, specifically to accompany this slideshow.\u00a0 I was so thrilled to receive an invitation from Jaclyn Watson of Jaclyn Watson Events<\/a> and Lorin Holmes from VermontWeddings<\/a>\u00a0 to participate in ‘A Salute To Our Soldiers’.\u00a0 In a sea of Vermont wedding photographers, it was quite an honor to be invited to participate in this meaningful event.\u00a0 A Salute to Our Soldiers is a contest to win a $70,000 dream wedding for one lucky military couple in the USA. Out of over 80 couples nationwide, Courtney and Scott were chosen as the winners after submitting their amazing love story.\u00a0 Both of them grew up in Vermont and served in the Vermont National Guard. In 2010 they were both were deployed to Afghanistan where Courtney worked as a mechanic and Scott was an infantry man in the Alpha Company.\u00a0 They barely knew each other at that point.\u00a0 On May 22d that year, Scott’s truck was hit by a rocket and Scott suffered a broken back, lacerated kidneys, a ruptured spleen and a collapsed lung.\u00a0 The truck was sent to Courtney for repairs, and when she saw it she thought, “whoever was in the truck probably didn’t make it”.<\/p>\n
