It’s official.  It’s done.  It is finished.  Fin. Finite.  Well, I mean, Round 1, at least….

The best wedding photographs have been hand chosen [ by you ].  Naturally, they’re phenomenal. Awe-inspiring. Sexy. Some are even pretty snazzy.

Onward and upward! Based on the amount of votes, we narrowed it down to the best 20 photographs of our last year of wedding photography and engagement session photography in and around Cleveland ohio [ with a few trips throughout the continental US as well ].  The 20 best wedding photographs on this page are the finalists of this year’s Image Of The Year! These wedding pictures represent the very best of our unique brand of Cleveland wedding photography!

If you’re a newcomer to Making the Moment, you might not be familiar with our Image of the Year Competition. You can read up on it by following the link.  Click it.  Long story short? We asked Cleveland, Akron, and the world at large to vote on the very best of our wedding photography.

To help cap an extraordinary year, we nominated 163 images from of our weddings in Cleveland and engagement session photography; to be chosen by you, our esteemed dudes and dudettes, as the much adorned, much coveted, much sought after, much anticipated, much revered, much beloved, and much awaited Image of the Year.

Image of the Year LogoOpen voting was held over the past few days, the top 20 photographs were voted on by our facebook fans.  They did an amazing job.  Thousands of votes were cast on these 163 awesome photographs, and the top 20 photographs have moved forward to the final round of the competition.  This is what all of the hubbub is about:
