Adam & Marissa – GIVEAWAY Finalists #1

Here’s what Marissa had to say:

“Our story is a simple one.  Adam and I met in 2001, dated a little and lost touch.  In late spring of 2005, I called him up and asked if he wanted to go play pool.  After that date, we sporadically went to the movies or dinner but neither of us were looking for a serious relationship.  However, I say that but, when he told me he was moving to Vegas because he had been hired by Clark County Fire Department my heart dropped.  It was hard to say, “Go for it”, when what I really wanted was for him to stick around.  After he moved, he went straight into the fire academy and usually on Sunday I would hear from him on the phone.  I was his buddy he could vent to about all the horrible things that he endured during the weeks of training.  In December of 2005, he graduated and I flew to Las Vegas for his graduation to show him how proud I was that his dream of being a fireman had come true!  After that, I would visit him every few months and he would come down to Los Angeles every few weeks.  We quickly started seeing and talking to each other more.  By summer 2006, we were both in love.  Shortly after that he was begging me to move to Vegas.  He begged for 2 1/2 years.  Finally I moved up in September of  2009.  We have been inseparable ever since.  Adam and I have been BEST friends since 2005 and love each other more and more everyday.  We can’t imagine a world without each other and can’t wait till October of this year to make everything official!  

Growing up in Los Angeles, I was heavily involved in theater, dancing, modeling, acting and singing and the one question people would ask is, “Why do you think YOU should get the part?”  I hated that question.  And I never understood why they asked it, because every entertainer thinks, “because I’m the best”, or “because I deserve it.”  But the truth is, there are thousands of people who are just as good or better than you or just as deserving as you.  So, when you ask me why I think we should win free wedding photography from an amazing photographer, its difficult to come up with an unique answer.  The fact is that Adam and I have been planning, and working toward, and looking forward to our wedding day for quite a while now and we truly believe that WE deserve the BEST in photographic artistry.  Should we win, it will be our pleasure to share the news of our good fortune, and of course, our wonderful wedding photos with all our friends and family, on behalf of MegRuth Photography!      

Thanks for considering our application,

Marissa and Adam
