It Wasn’t Even Halloween
“I wanted to be a teen model desperately and needed pictures to send to modeling agencies so I had mom take some pictures of me with my three favorite things – black lipstick, stuffed animals and of course Motley Crue. I never got called.”

I’ll Be There For You
“This was my wedding program in 1999. I don’t know how we missed that these two songs, in this order, ended up being like a conditional love disclaimer for our marriage. The good news is, nearly 17 years later, we are still ALWAYS here for each other.”

You Better Smile
“My son wouldn’t smile for a camera. So on this picture day, as I took him to preschool, I told him he’d better smile for the camera. When I came to pick up the photos, the teacher pulled me aside and said that the photographer was in tears, and this was the best he could do. At first, I was a little mad that my son couldn’t pull out a real smile, but it’s quickly become my most cherished photo.'”

After receiving thousands of amazing photos, we’re proud to announce our winner. Congratulations to Carrie for winning the contest and a $1000 Amazon.com gift card! Here’s the story in her own words:
“This is my husband and I on the morning of our wedding 20 years ago. We were having studio pictures taken and the local photographer proudly rolled out this faux bay window and told my soon-to-be-husband to “peek in from outside.”
Congratulations to our two runners-up, Dina and Jamie and thanks to everyone in the AFP community for so many amazing submissions!
“What’s more awkward than your Grandfather choosing to pose in your wedding photos in a bolo tie and sandwiched in between wife number two and one? Realizing when you get your photos back that your grandma chose to be forever remembered as Nanny One Shoe.”
“We got married on the beach in Playa del Carmen, and while we expected others besides our guests to be watching the ceremony, we never expected this guy. My father in law kept trying to get him to move and he just kept on taking pictures of our wedding.”
