Couple’s Shoot Giveaway!

I’ve been doing this for several years now, and what strikes me harder and harder each time I do an engagement or wedding shoot is how brilliantly a couple’s happiness can translate to a photo. That’s a huge part of why I love doing this so much; the amount of happiness involved in photo shoots is completely contagious and amazing to witness. Being able to watch and document people living through some of the happiest times of their life is an honor and an occupation that I treasure.  

It has been vocalized to me before that wedding + engagement photography (and weddings in general) have come a long way in a very short span of time. There’s more variety in style to pick from, a much larger emphasis on candid moments over stock poses, and a focus on the couple: a method of storytelling that communicates their journey together.

Not only do I think that’s fantastic, but I also like to think that it’s becoming a much more affordable indulgence, especially engagement shoots.

That being said, that wasn’t always the case, and I’ve seen many instances over the course of my life where couples have skipped engagement shoots and a wedding photographer altogether to cut costs. Some couples are completely okay with that, some aren’t. It’s with this in mind that I want to offer a summertime giveaway for the upcoming months.

This giveaway is for married/long-term couples in the greater Charlotte, NC area who weren’t able to have the documentation of their happy day that they wanted. Just because it isn’t on the day itself doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get to have photos of your relationship now; you’re just as happy, just as in love and just as worth celebrating as that day and the months leading up to it! My goal is to give you the chance to have that keepsake, that photographic interpretation of your happiness. To enter, comment on this blog post or comment on my facebook page with you and your significant other’s names and on the 30th of May I’ll pick one couple at random using a generator. If enough people are interested, I would absolutely consider making this a bi-annual thing. Details of the photo shoot are below!

Your photo shoot will include: 

A consultation to discuss locations, themes, and to get to know each other! I’m here to tell your story.

One two-hour session to be divided up as you wish between up to two locations and two outfit changes. 

One CD, thumb-drive or online download of the finished photos, with full rights.

Travel up to an hour outside Charlotte (beyond that and I will require gas compensation.)

Also please note: I am completely available to LGBTQ+ couples! 🙂

Best of luck to you all, and I look forward to working with you!
