Happy Wednesday!

I think I’ve been teasing everyone about this contest for long enough,  I’ve decided to just go for it and announce a huge contest Amber Rhodes-Lapoint Photography will be running now through August 3, my birthday!  It’s super huge because I am giving away a free wedding package to one lucky bride and groom.  Please share this with anyone you know who is getting married!

Basically, contact me and schedule your engagement session.  My session fee will be at a low-low $99 for the engagement session for a brief time.  After our session I will post my favorite photo on here, and all of YOU will vote for your favorites!

I am also looking for some laughs and that means I want your best TRUE story about how you met your fiance, how you became engaged, or when you knew for sure you’d met “the one”.  The better the story and the more I laugh the more points you score.  After your engagement session, I will also post your stories for everyone to read and comment on.  The story with the highest score from me and my hubby, and the session photo with the most votes will receive the contest prizes!

We (Amber and Dan) will be judging entries as they come in.  We will each have up to 10 points to award.  Entries should be emailed to amber@ambertakesphotos.com by August 3 .  We will post stories throughout the month so even if you don’t share a story check back often for some good laughs.

Grand Prize (Value $900)
Unlimited Wedding Day Photography

Runner Up (Value $205)
A complimentary bridal session, (bride and) groomal session, or Trash the dress session.  Your choice!


Contest Rules

1.  All entries must be true and must be your story!  Keep it clean too please.  Your submission gives us permission to post your story on our blog or other locations.  If we choose to post your story we will credit you for it.

2.  All entries and engagement sessions must be booked and received by midnight on August 3rd.  Please be sure to include your name, phone number, email address and wedding date.

3.  Contest is for new clients only, sorry to all of my current clients, I love you too!

4.  All prizes are awarded based on photographers availability.

5.  Grand Prize is for unlimited wedding day photography only.  All other additions will be billed at full price.

6.  Prizes will be awarded to the selected winners and have no cash value.  No exceptions or exchanges for items.

Hey everyone!

Do you get family portraits taken regularly?   Every couple of months, I like to offer mini-sessions to the busy family.  Basically, I take less than an hour of your time, take some awesome posed and candid pictures and give you another treasured memory of you and your children.  This mini-session I’m organizing an Easter egg hunt for your children,  you can choose candy or real eggs, whichever you feel most comfortable with for them.

It’s much easier to capture toddlers and children of all ages when they’re comfortable and happy, and not fully aware that they’re being caught on camera! ;-)
