Another Amazing Contest

My fellow photogs and I keep up with each other by reading our blogs, and I came across this awesome contest on Sam Depoy-Warren's (thanks, Sam!). The Sebasco Harbor Resort, one of my favorite venues, is giving away its services for a 2009 wedding. Yes, an entire wedding can be yours for free if you win. You can see the way the place looks for a wedding on on my website or here on my blog. I photographed Shelby and Roger's wedding there last June. It was rainy and I was dealing with major morning sickness, but it was still one of my favorite weddings of the summer. Not only is the location gorgeous, the staff is amazing.

The Pure Maine Wedding Giveaway includes the Sebasco Harbor Resort as the venue of a stunning destination wedding ceremony and reception for up to 200 guests. The giveaway also includes:
-Catering for the reception including wait staff service and wedding cake of the bride and groom’s choice (note: catering does not include alcohol)
-Overnight accommodations for the bride and groom for their wedding weekend
-Spa services for the bride and groom at our seaside Fairwinds Spa
-Golf for the wedding party
-Wedding coordinator services
-A sunset rehearsal celebration cruise aboard one of Maine’s longest running passenger boats.

Wow. Now that's an amazing contest. Best of luck to you all who are looking to get married in 2009!

And your chances of winning are???

The Knot is running a promotion called The Knot's Real Weddings. Basically you share your seven favorite wedding images and they pick (randomly, I believe) a couple of winning entries. The grand prize for you all is a safari. Crazy good prize (the prize for the winning vendor is a year of free advertising on The Knot -- I'd rather win a safari)! I've only had time to post three weddings (see links below) but will try to get more done this afternoon. Make sure to let us all know if you post anything (you can put that in the comments here). I would love to see what seven images you pick!

Happy Valentine's Day

In celebration of Valentine's Day and all things sweet, I will send the next bride and groom who sign a contract with me a box of these gorgeous truffles from famous chocolatier Vosges. So don't wait too long to fill out that contract or you might miss out on this delicious treat!

Martha Stewart on Weddings

I love bridal fashion. Just ask me how many dresses I tried on for my wedding! Badgley Mischka showed dresses on Martha's wedding show. In a word -- stunning. They pointed out something so obvious but worth repeating: that the back of your dress is as important as the front because that's what people will be seeing throughout the ceremony. The closest store that carries Badgley Mischka is L'elite in Boston.

One of my favorite foods is cake. I love cake. Talk about finding a job that ends with the best perk -- a slice of wedding cake! And of course, Martha Stewart is showcasing some beautiful cakes. I personally love photographing pretty cakes but if it doesn't taste good, really what's the point? I have a great idea. The next couple who signs a contract with me will receive a copy of Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes book. But you must promise me a piece of your wedding cake!
