Real Maine Weddings 2010

Some of you might not know that besides Bangor Metro we also publish a wedding magazine called Real Maine Weddings. We've been doing it for three years now and each year it's gotten bigger and better -- and this next issue is no exception. There are 66 pages jam packed with photos and tips on how to plan for your Maine wedding. All the content is Maine-centered, meaning you wont find any generic fluff in this publication.

Below are two covers for the 2010 publication. Vote for which one you like better! Both are taken by photographer Russell Caron. We'll let you know which one we chose at the end of the week so check back.

the photo on the right looks staged
while the photo on the left looks like a newlywed couple at the begining of a wonderfull life

The photo on the left is dark and dreary. The one on the right seems more like a Maine photo. The Fall colors make for a nice back drop

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

I like the bright picture on the right

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 enconomic times.

SO YOU THINK THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS POSED? THE ONE ON THE RIGHT HAS SOME GUY IN THE BACK GROUND SAYING'NOW GIVE HER A KISS
THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS AR THE MAINE WATER FRONT YOU CAN GET PICTURES OF FALL LEAFS FROM MAINE TO RI. BUT THERES NOTHING LIKE A FOGGY MAINE COAST LINE IN THE COUNTRY

The girl in the right photo is hot. So isn't the picture. It's hot. Hot and beautiful. Hot.

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.

THE picture on the left screams
MAINE coastline the couple looks like they got caught stealing a kiss good luck

The left photo has everything a good photo should: emotion, structure, and a sense of the moment. You just KNOW it's in beautiful Maine. There is a certain elegance to this photo which the other does not have.

As for the person who thinks the woman on the right is hot... Well, you should feel that way about your wife, shouldn't you?

What's with all the short hair, anyway?

The photo on the left is why people fall in love, both with each other and with Maine.

If you want to show that Maine has nice foliage in the fall go with the right. If you want to promote foggy overcast weather the one the left is the way to go.

I THOUGHT WE WHERE VOTING ON THE BEST COVER NOT THE WEATHER OR THE FALL COLOR PEOPLE DON'T GO TO MAINE TO GET MARRIED THERE FROM MAINE SO THEY KNOW WHAT THERE IN FOR YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING PAST THE BACKGROUND AND FOCUSING ON THE COUPLES THE COUPLE ON THE LEFT LOOKS LIKE AN UNSTAGED PHOTO THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS STAGED

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.

The picture on the LEFT depicts a "REAL MAINE WEDDING". Isn't that the name of the magazine? Seems to me the photo on the LEFT IS THE ONE!!

'Ill swallow youre face to get that gum back must have been good gum But I take the cover on the left and then go get some gum....

I'm confused, why are people talking badly about the couples and questioning and insulting their love for each other? get a life people. they're both beautiful photos.

I enjoy the colors on the right, it's cute how they're smiling in the kiss and not awkwardly bending toward each other while trying not to turn their backs.
