Deserving couple contest (taking applicants!)

Each year our company hosts a deserving couple contest.  Earlier in the year we chose two winning deserving couples for 2011.  The contest is simple.  We look for a couple experiencing financial hardship, yet still finds time to do good for others, giving back to their community. 

These are some of the images from our 2009 deserving couple wedding.  Their wedding was held in Thomaston, Connecticut with their reception for about 175 guests at the Lyceum in Terryville, Connecticut.  We worked with an amazing group of wedding professionals to put on one over the top wedding!
