"Win your Wedding Photography" WINNER!!

There could only be one winner, and it was a thoroughly deserved win (over 80% of the votes!) to

KATRINA & CAM!!!

Here is their story, sent in by a friend............


"I met Katrina only a few months ago, but in the short length of time I have known her she has changed my life forever.
Katrina came into my life at a very dark & difficult time, I had been undergoing fertility treatment for years but earlier this year we were given the devastating news that we would never have our own child, due to be diagnosed with cancer in 2006,  I had been left without any egg reserve.
The only chance we had of becoming parents would be to find a person who was willing to donate their own eggs.  As the laws have changed and donors are not longer anonymous very few people opt to do this.
I was starting to come to terms with the fact that we would never become parents, when I came across a website discussing fertility issues , after reading several entries I started to feel deflated as many of the woman wanting to donate were looking to cash in on sell their eggs but Katrina's message stood out and seemed very genuine.  I decided to take a leap of faith and email her and ask if she would be able to help us fulfil our dreams of becoming a family.
I received and email back from her within 2 hours and she was willing to help us !!!    I can't explain how amazing this felt, like we had been handed a life line.
Becoming a donor is a very complicated and long process and involves a lot of  tests injections, hormones and emotions, but within days of swapping stories and chatting to Katrina,
she started the journey off becoming our egg donor.
She is the most amazing, selfless, and generous person I have ever had the chance to meet, she herself had a long fertility battle, but after 8 years she managed to conceive Twin girls and had a son 6 years later naturally.   She totally understands the journey people have to face and wanted to help another couple have the same happy family life she has blessed with.
Katrina has now found the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with and is due to get married in 2012.
Nikki, you captured my wedding day from start to finish in the most fantastic way.  I still look at the pictures and am transported back to the best day of my life so far, I would love to give this experience to Katrina & Cam, allow her to feel like a "princess" for a day and help capture every special moment as she is one very special individual."


I am SO looking forward to photographing their wedding in Ayrshire next year!!
