Sometimes a couple’s wedding photography experience doesn’t go as planned. Whether it’s due to an unprofessional professional, unmet expectations, or circumstances in life outside of everyone’s control, there are some couples out there who I think deserve a second chance at wall worthy portraits. After receiving far too many emails from brides unhappy with their wedding photos for one reason or another (or worse, brides who have almost no photos at all!) I’ve decided to hold a contest that will allow one lucky couple the chance to dress up and have another go at creating portraits that can be admired for years to come. I believe that everyone should have at least one photo (hopefully more though!) that they can show their grandchildren and say “See this picture? It’s one of my favorites because it shows just how beautiful and happy we were.”
Read below to find out the details on who can enter and how…
The Prize:
- 1 Duet Session with Jenna Cole, 1 disc of high resolution watermark free images with Basic Edits, and 1 print of your choice up to 16X20 in size.
- This session can be held in Dallas, TX (before August 2010) or Chicago, IL (after September 1st, 2010) free of charge, but I’m also willing to travel if the couple will cover my travel costs.
Who Can Enter:
- Any couple married after January 1st, 2005 who feel that they deserve a second chance at beautiful photos with the one they love most!
How To Enter:
- Send me an email explaining why, in 600 words or less, you should be the Wedding Redux Session winner.
- Please include at least 1, but no more than 5, photos from your wedding day. These photos will not be shown publicly, but they may be used as a determinant for deciding between two contestants. If you do not have any photos from your wedding day, please leave me a short note letting me know why.
- Please include one current photo of just you and your spouse to be posted on Jenna Cole Photography blog if you are a finalist.
- Email your entry to jenna {at} jennacole.com no later than May 31, 2010. Entries in the comment section below will not be eligible to win.
How The Winning Couple Will Be Chosen:
- All entries will be reviewed by me and a small panel of impartial judges.We’ll choose our two favorites and post their entries here on the blog. Readers will then vote to decide who will win the Wedding Redux session.
The Fine Print:
Session must take place before December 31st, 2010. I will travel up to 30 miles from my point of origin free of charge, travel fees will be applied if session is to be held outside of this radius. Though I would love to have the winning couple dress up all fancy in wedding attire it is certainly not required. We’ll work to custom design a session style and location that perfectly describes you as a couple.
If you know someone who you think deserves this prize, please help spread the word! I’m looking forward to reading all of the entries and working with the lucky couple!
