Free Wedding Photography?!? You heard right! I am hosting a contest to give free wedding photography to a deserving couple. The winning couple will receive free wedding photography from moi! 
I believe that we should all ‘pay it forward’ sometimes during our lives. I’ve been blessed with so much, it is time for me to give back to those who deserve it.
Read below for what I’m looking for…
Email us the story of a couple who you think deserves free photography for their wedding. It can even be you!!! You MUST attach a recent photo of the couple that is about 940px on the longest side to the email. Send the email to: payitforward@kmcconnellphoto.com Please include when, where wedding/reception will be held. You must have a date selected to enter.
**Edit to add – I updated some of the requirements to allow for more entries…**
What I am looking for: -I really just want to find out a little more about you. Include a short story on how you met, when you got engaged, etc. Nothing fancy. It doesn’t need to be too long, just a little bit about you. The couple must be getting married somewhere in the US in 2011 (if I am already booked for the date, I’m sorry!) The couple must be willing to appear on this blog and have their story on this blog.
The winners will receive:
6 hours wedding day coverage
Engagement session
On-line gallery of all images
DVD of images
**Please note: If your wedding will be held away from the greater Tampa Bay area (Pinellas, Hillsborough and Manatee Counties) and you are the selected winners, you will be responsible for my travel expenses.**
The specifics: Please send your entries to payitforward@kmcconnellphoto.com NO LATER THAN MIDNIGHT EST FRIDAY AUGUST 27, 2010. The top three entries will be chosen by me and their stories will be posted on this blog on Friday September 3, 2010 and voting will commence (**only one vote per IP address)! The winning couple will be announced Friday, September 24, 2010 at 6PM EST. Don’t forget to leave a comment on this post with your Name, Wedding Date and Location!
**Cheating isn’t nice, frankly, it makes me super sad!! Entries will be disqualified if cheating is found…**
Sooooo email this link out, nominate a deserving friend, and spread the word. GOOD LUCK! I can’t wait to read all the entries!
NOW GO ENTER!
