Photo Contest Winner: Love in Motion

Congratulations to our 2024 Quest Media photo contest winner, Liliana Ceccotti, of Landenberg, Pennsylvania. She took this photo of her son, Santino, and his fiancée, Gill, for their engagement announcement.

The couple got engaged in January 2023 and planned a party in the spring. “I took my son and Gill to Longwood Gardens to take some engagement photos,” Liliana says. The public garden in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, has many beautiful wheelchair-accessible spaces, and they shot this photo in the historic conservatory building.

“It was Gill’s idea to ride the back of the wheelchair,” Liliana says. “We took a lot of different photos, and this one was the most fun because he had to go a little bit fast, and she kicked her leg up. We took several shots of it, and we had a blast.” She made the photo into a poster for the engagement party.

Santino, who lives with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), is an appellate attorney in Delaware. Gill is a legal assistant. They were married in June 2024. “It was a beautiful wedding,” Liliana says. She still looks at this photo and sees the pure happiness of the moment. “We had so much fun that day,” she says.
