I won free photography
So, a few weeks ago, I entered a giveaway, this giveaway, on the Green Orchid Events blog to win a photography session in Vegas. I was stalking the blog nearly every day as the winner would be chosen randomly from the comments. There were still only 5 commenters (I was the 5th) so I figured we had a 20% chance at it, which isn't all that high.
The contest ended last night at midnight, Vegas time, so I went to sleep hoping I'd wake up to find out that I'd won. I am addicted to my Blackberry and I check email and twitter constantly. Well, when a random pain woke me at 5am, I checked it, scrolling quickly through the emails until I saw it... "Congratulations - You're the winner of the photo contest"
I started grinning and it took me a while to fall back to sleep. I started telling FH we'd won, but, well, it was 5am and he was dead asleep. This morning, there was a tweet about it pointing to a blog post.
Even before we won, I was in touch with the photographer, Jessie of Emeric Photography & Design, and really can't wait to work with her and her husband. I told her we'd already booked our wedding photographer, but if we'd won, I'd love to do a day after session. It looks like we get to after all! I'm thinking day after, possibly trash the dress only because I desperately want to go to the Neon Boneyard or possibly Red Rocks Canyon.
Prize package:
* Lifestyle Portrait Session (which can be used for Engagement, Trash the Dress, Day After Session, Anniversary, etc...)
* 3 hours of photography time
* Online photo gallery to share with family & friends
* High resolution disk with choice of 45 print-ready images (printable up to 8×10) A print release will also be included.
* Photo session is valid only in Las Vegas
We already have our wedding photographer and will be having pictures taken around the Luxor and by the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Where else would you suggest for this package in case they don't want to drive out to Red Rocks or can't get into the Neon Boneyard? Ah, wedding date is 10-10-10 so this will be done probably on the 11th or 12th (Monday or Tuesday)
