It’s that time again, friends. It’s a wedding photography giveaway! Don’t you fret… you non-engaged people… more giveaways are coming for you. This one is just the biggest… and takes the most time… so here we are. I always liked doing these giveaways… and I met some of my favorite people and favorite couples because of doing them. Covid and the past few years have been hard… to say the least… and it just feels like we could all use some happy. I want to share some happy with you… and it always makes me feel good. SOOOO, here we are.
Here’s the deal…
What I need from you:
An email. Shoot it over to hello@valeriedemo.com. That’s it. Tell me all about yourselves. I want to hear about your hobbies and your love stories and your love for your favorite tacos at your favorite Mexican restaurant. Tell me about your wedding. Tell me how taking the cost of wedding photography off of the table will help make your wedding wishes come true. What are you going to be able to include you didn’t think you could? Tell me the whys and the whats. Include photos if you want. Or shoot me your instagram handles. AND include your date if you have one picked out. If not… know that if you win, you have to pick a date I’m available for. If you want to check if I’m available BEFORE writing the email, feel free to send me a quick message via email or Instagram, and I’ll let you know.
Here are the stipulations…
Choosing a wedding photographer is important. I spend a lot of time with you. Make sure you’ve gone through my website. Look at the photos. Look at the editing. Read about me and my style… and make sure it’s what you’re down for. Read the Honesty Manifesto. Go through my Instagram. What you see is what you get… and at the end of the day, the photographs are the only thing left after the party, so, make sure I am the one you want there. If you wouldn’t book me anyway, please do not apply. This is supposed to be a happy, fun thing… and if we both end up in a situation that isn’t right… well, to put it frankly, that will suck. Let’s keep it happy.
Some other official rules and regulations:
+ You must be 18 or older to enter.
+ Your wedding must take place between now and December 1, 2024 on a date I currently have available.
+ Your wedding can take place anywhere in the United States and some worldwide destinations. (Email to check.) YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAVEL FEES. (See the “what you get” section below for more information.)
+ Do NOT enter if you have already booked another photographer.
+ Couples who have already booked with me are not eligible. (Sorry, guys. Love your faces.)
+ The winning couple agrees to be featured online, in publications, and on promotional items for me and my company.
+ The wedding photography giveaway prize cannot be sold, transferred, or exchanged for cash or any other service or item. It is what it is.
+ You MAY use this on a Vow Renewal or Elopement.
+ You must enter before February 10, 2023. Winners will be announced by February 15, 2023.
+ You must sign a contract with the agreed upon travel fees and any other add-ons you wish to add included within TEN days of being notified. Differing payment plans are available.
+ By entering the giveaway, you are agreeing to be bound by these official rules.
Now for the fun part… WHAT YOU GET:
MY STANDARD WEDDING PACKAGE 4:
+8 hours of wedding coverage with me on your wedding day
(Additional hours of photography coverage and/or adding a second photographer available as an add-on at your expense.)
+Edited Digital Files with a Print Release delivered via an Online Sharing Gallery
+Engagement Session with Digital Files, Print Release, and Online Gallery
So, what’s the catch? There is no catch… except… you WILL be responsible for travel fees. They will be reasonable… and will vary widely depending on the location and date. If you want to get an idea of what they will be prior to entering, feel free to shoot me an email, and I’d be happy to give you a quote. (For the record, in some cases, it will be nothing.)
The value of this little package? $4,250.00. That’s a lot of moolah towards upgrading your florals… or getting that band you wanted… or that place setting… or you know, a kickass honeymoon… where maybe you want photos and you should bring me as the nicest thank you ever. (Kidding. Unless you’re serious.)
That’s it, pals. That’s the whole shebang. The whole enchilada. The big announcement. And I couldn’t be more excited. I can’t wait to read your emails and see your faces… and watch one of you say your ‘I do’s.
