*** THIS IS A PINNED POST. SCROLL DOWN FOR THE MOST RECENT POST! ***
A couple weeks ago I was looking at some of my photography friends blogs, just admiring and gaining inspiration from all the fabulous work out there. I then came across the sweet and talented Stephanie Fay and saw she was doing a FREE Wedding Giveaway for the 2011 year! I immediately thought this was a BRILLIANT idea and knew I just had to do something like this for a special couple out there!
So it’s official all you newly engaged couples out there…I’m doing my very first FREE Wedding Giveaway for the 2011 year! I am so excited about this I can hardly wait to see all the couples who apply! So I thought I’d make this contest a little challenging but still really fun. I want all of you to exercise those creative muscles!!!
Here is the contest:
* As a couple, I want to hear your story. Every couple has their own unique story, so be as open and honest as you’d like! I truly want to feel like I already know you two, even before I ever meet you! Tell me why winning this contest is important to you! Send your email to tonhya{@}tonhyakae{dot}com
Here are the rules and requirements:
* The couple MUST be getting married in 2011.
* The contest is only applicable to new inquiries.
* I have to be available on your wedding date.
* Please provide WHERE and WHEN your wedding will be as well as the VENUE the wedding and reception will be held at. If you do not know this information, please DO NOT apply. You MUST know these details before applying.
* Please also send me a photo of you and your fiance for the final winner announcement!
* The wedding can be ANYWHERE. Yes, I said anywhere! (If the wedding is outside of the Seattle Area, all travel expenses must be paid for by the bride and groom.)
* The chosen couple will receive: 7 hours of wedding coverage, a second shooter, DVD of originals for printing and viewing, and a personal online gallery for viewing, purchasing, and sharing images with family and friends! (Upgrades can be purchased.)
* The last thing you must do is leave a comment on this post listing your NAMES, WEDDING DATE, and LOCATION.
Well friends, that is pretty much it! Pretty simple right?! : )
The winning couple will be chosen by me and will be based on the most deserving story. The winning couple will be announced November 1st, 2010. I already know this is going to be a tough decision because I know so many of you out there deserve this! So I have something special to offer EVERYONE who applies for this contest. Even if you do not win, I will be giving those who applied a 10% discount on any of my wedding packages! I can’t wait to hear from all of you, feel free to email me with any questions.
Happy Friday!
