Wedding Kiss + Festive Pooch + Cute Couples: MD Valentine's Day Photos

MARYLAND — Patch asked readers to share photos of what Valentine's Day means to them. Readers submitted several pictures of their loved ones. These were the top five photographs of the week.

Paula Connor and her late husband, Jay, are pictured here at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.

This photo of Dan Collins and Tina Collins shows the duo dressed as Prince Charming and Snow White.

Other readers emailed pictures of pets. Felicia January sent this photo of a festive pooch.

This picture is of Tom Lyons and Elena Maldonado standing in front of a mural near National Harbor.

Christina Payne captured this photo of a heart-warming wedding kiss.

That's all for this week's round-up. Keep an eye out for next week's photo gallery.

To participate, email your best picture to maryland@patch.com with the subject line "Photo Of The Week." Participants must also include this statement in their email:

"I, [insert name], took this picture, and I give Patch permission to publish it."

Photos are due every Thursday at noon. We will post a story with a few of our favorites each Monday morning.

Please only submit pictures that you took personally. Horizontal photos are preferred.

Please mention where you snapped the picture and include any relevant information about what's in the photo.

Good luck!
