Real Maine Weddings 2010: Covers

An overwhelming majority of you voted on our two covers this week and left interesting and insightful comments. THANK YOU! We love to see your feedback. We said that we'd let you know which cover we chose by today, but it was a bit of a trick. Since we publish the magazine twice with two different covers we are actually using BOTH of the covers!

As of 10 am this morning, the cover on the left (the one we're using for Spring 2010) was the clear favorite, with 67% of your votes. Here were some of your comments:

As mentioned above the photo to the right not only looks staged but could be taken anywhere in New England. The picture to the left is genuine and definitely says Maine. - Anonymous

Both couples appear to be happy, but I agree that the one on the left seems more genuine, a natural moment captured for posterity. - Bruce

I too found the picture on the left to look deary - not full of hope and light like the picture on the right. Young love (ok I am old) is full of hope and the one on the right just has more warmth to it, more hope. The one on the left make look a wee bit more natural we still can tell it was a suggestion vs. a real candid - but it really lacks the brightness & hope. Feels more like these deary economic times. - Anonymous

I choose the one on the LEFT. It is very magical, they way you should feel on your wedding day. The one on the right is nice, but it seems generic, like any photographer could have taken it. I think the photo on the left has more emotion. - Kris
