2008 Wedding Photography Giveway Contest Results

Say that 5 times fast! As most of you loyal readers know, I held a contest in conjunction with Events on a Budget a couple weeks ago. The winner was announced on V-day on the EOAB blog, but I never formally announced it here. I wanted to confirm everything with the bride and groom first. So, without further ado....

I would like to congratulate Melissa and Brian on winning the contest!! Melissa and Brian are getting married on June 21st at The Rusty Pelican in Key Biscayne. I'm telling you guys. This wedding is going to be HOT! The ceremony location is surrounded by water and makes for an absolute beautiful setting! I can't wait for the wedding! The images are going to be awesome with such a great location and a gorgeous couple! I'm telling you Melissa and Brian, you're making my job just too easy! ;-)

Melissa is also one of the first clients to book completely through my new booking system, ShootQ. (If you're a photographer, for serious, CHECK THEM OUT! They have made my Clients happier and my life easier! The will start accepting new customers when WPPI starts this March.) Melissa told me that she thought it was "a fantastic tool" and that is was "super easy". She also said she loved the fact that it lets you save the contract as a pdf. That way you not only can print a hard copy, but you'll also have a soft copy for your records. Thanks for the review Melissa! It's always nice to good feedback from you guys!

One more note for the day and then I'm out. I found this really awesome site today called Wedding Mapper. It looks like a really neat tool! You can actually create your own page where you can map out all the locations regarding your event. Then you can send that to your out of town (and in town) guests so they know exactly where everything is taking place! I can honestly say, I always love when my brides provide me with good directions and a great map. I had a bride just last week that had actually taken the time to print everything out for me as well as everyone in the bridal party so that we would know right where to go. How awesome is that? Honestly, I am notorious for getting lost. If it wasn't for the GPS on my phone, I don't think I'd be able to find my way home half the time (sad I know, but oh so true). Anywho, just that that site was rocking for people like me that seem to get lost going to their local grocery store! ;-)

Alright guys! I'm out! I've got some photos from a stock session I did last weekend I'll try to post up later. I'm a little buried right now with a few editing sessions from the past weekend (you know who you are. I hope you had a FABULOUS honeymoon!!!), so it may be more towards the end of the weekend til I'm able to get to it. I'm off! ~MP
