Embracing Individuality: Free Wedding Photography - WINNERS ANNOUNCED! |
7.01.2009 engagement, In My Life, wedding |
We had so many great applicants but, in the end, we had only a handful with wedding dates for which we were not already booked. Anyone that knows me is well aware that I put love first before all else and it is that same crazy obsession that prevents me from giving just one couple free wedding photography. That said, I am excited to announce that we have TWO winners for our contest. BOTH couples will receive our services for 10 hours on their wedding day + a complete set of professional, first edition prints of their entire image collection for FREE (for skeptics, that translates to zero denaro and there is absolutely no catch). We are in love with our craft and the people that invite us into their lives and we cannot wait to work with our two lucky couples.
So, without further delay, the winners are...
Leanne Summers and Robert Smith
AND
Monica Xiong and Tommy Her
Huge hugs to both couples whose love stories melted our hearts!! Please send an email to dionne@theshootinggallery.com to claim your fantastic prize. Thank you to ALL who entered. We are humbled that you took the time to contact us and we wish you all the happiness in the world!!
I have long awaited the opportunity to meet Cassandra and Jeremy since they hired me to photograph their wedding and they did not disappoint! They are incredibly cool, lighthearted, and adventurous. When I pulled up to greet them I was surprised to see that they had brought with them two red balloons, each 3 feet in diameter! I am biting my nails until their next visit as Jeremy promised further escapades (which could very well end in our arrest). You only live once.




Look out Ralph Macchio.












I had a GREAT time in Detroit with these two! Our first stop was Comerica Park where Amanda and Brandon spend alot of quality time together then we headed to Belle Isle to soak up some rays (and chase birds). Congratulations, guys! You two are adorable and I am counting the days until your wedding in 2010!
















Joan is beyond adorable. Those golden locks and that smile just melt your heart! I had a great time chasing her around the yard as she played with toys, watered plants, and goofed around with Mom and Dad. She is such a cutie!!!

I've been so busy shooting and "wed-iting" that I haven't had a chance to catch up on blog posts. To all my wonderful nail-biters, previews are in the works with full posts including details on venues and vendors once the entire collection of images is processed. : )
And now a few images from Melissa & Chad's wedding where we hit all of the Detroit landmarks on their list that we could prior to making the grand entrance at their fantastic, energy filled reception. These guys know how to party!!








The day after game 7 - I'd say a drink was definitely in order. : )

engagement, In My Life, Misc, Portraits, wedding |

I am incredibly honored to have been nominated once again for the Channel 4 Vote 4 The Best Guide! Click HERE to cast your vote and feel free to leave a little love in the comments box. We finished in the top 5 for both 2007 and 2008 and I would be ecstatic if we could make it a three-peat. :)
A sincere, heartfelt thanks to all of my past and current clients for taking the time to vote and spread the word. You are my inspiration and the reason I continue to chase my dreams.
Jillian and Todd are not only beautiful, they're incredibly fun! I had a great time with them during our session in Warren and even though our original plans were somewhat derailed by a mob of people seeking refuge from the heat we managed to do pretty darned well. I cannot wait for their wedding this coming Fall!!
