Will you be my bride? Ready for the photosession of a lifetime? Because
I'm looking to give away the wedding session of, well, my dreams, haha.
Imagine the scene: a remote ghost town, you in your wedding
dress on the grand staircase of an old adandoned hotel, your handsome
groom hovering nearby . . . . all brought together with some dramatic
lighting and breath-taking composition. If you crave incredible vistas
and a location unlike any other, this session is for you!
The
winner of this contest will get a full day photosession on-location in
an amazing old ghost town, including engagement (if you'd like) and
wedding photos of bride and groom together. You will receive all
full-res images from the session on CD along with a print release, as
well as a print of each art print image I create. I don't care if you
are engaged, soon-to-be engaged or if you've been married for 10 years.
I just care that you love each other and want to capture the chemistry
between you on camera!
So here are the details:
- To
enter, please email me an image of you and your significant other, as
well as a photo of your wedding dress (or you in your wedding dress . .
. . you get the idea). Also, please tell me why you feel you should win
this contest. Send all entries to nichole -at- nicholeV.com
- This will NOT be a trash the dress session (unless you want it to be, haha!). I will do everything in my
power to keep your wedding dress as clean as possible (trust me,
despite how my photos look, my bride's dresses rarely if ever get
dirty!).
- The
date for the session is flexible and will be done sometime in
mid-September or the second week of October, 2009. We'll find a day
that works for you.
- You have to be willing to drive to the location, which is about a 6 hour drive outside of Salt Lake City, UT.
- As
stated above, you will receive a full-res digital copy of every single
proof from our session together (which is most likely to be several
hundred images). You will also receive a full-res digital copy and
print of each art print I create from our session.
- I reserve the right to choose the couple who I feel will be best suited for the location and my vision for this photosession.
Even
if you feel your own wedding dress days are long over, please spread
the word to others who you think might be interested. This contest will
close on August 26th, 2009.
