Vanessa Wall ended up being the winner of THE BIG ONE and she is not only one of my clients, whom I photographed her wedding two years ago on THIS DAY (May 29th), but also one of my childhood friends. All of the draws were randomly generated so it made my heart so happy to see her name come up, she deserves it all ❤
