On the Tenth Day of Christmas….

We are getting in the Spirit of the Season here at the old SS&G.  We know that the economy has hit everyone hard.  It has been a rough year for us and I know it must be for others also!

Everyone deserves good photography!  We think that every wedding day should be accompanied by amazing portraits to remember it by! So… we want YOU!

We are giving away a $500 gift certificate.  That is HALF off your wedding retainer payment!

All we want to know is your story!  Have you overcome great adversity in your relationship?  Had a long distance relationship?  Met in an unusual or amazing way?  Had an awesome proposal? Have a rockin’ idea for your wedding photos?  Something totally out of the ordinary – let us know that too!!

Sweet, sentimental or simply amazing… we want to hear them!

So here’s the rules:

1) Submit a photo of yourself and your fiance… we want to know who we are getting attached to!

2) Share your story.  Short, long, whatever floats your boat our only request is that they are typed!  (Easier to read that way!)  And be sure to pour on the sappiness!  The more the better!

3) Submit digitally or by mail.  If you can email the photo and story… kudos to you!  Hardcopy mail works too!  Submit entries to:

The Schmidt’s

1804 Hopemont Court

Lexington, KY 40514

4) Deadline for entries is January 2, 2009.  (giving an extra because of the holiday!!)

5) 1 couple will be chosen to receive the $500 gift certificate and winners will be announced at the January 11 at the Bridal Potpourri Bridal Show (Embassy Suites) and here on the blog on January 12th.

6) Can you enter as a surprise FOR someone else?  ABSOLUTELY!!!  Just make sure the couple is our style before hooking them up with such onconventional photographers!

7) ALL entries will recieve $100 off their wedding retainer payment just for playing!!!  YAY for parting gifts!

**now for all the boring parts… contest is open to NEW wedding clients only… old clients… hang on your contest is coming soon!… one entry per couple please… only submit if you are serious about hiring The Schmidt’s to be your wedding photographers… a wedding package purchase IS required to receive the gift certificate… gift certificate is NOT redeemable for cash or other compensation…void where prohibited (haha… always wanted to say that!)**
