A wedding photography contest

A wedding photographer that I met at the Bridal Bazaar yesterday is holding a wedding photography contest. I looked her up the night before the show to go through her work. And I have to say that I'm impressed! Keep in mind that this is a huge compliment because I've become very particular about wedding photography lately. I've learned so much about it in the past eight months, it's quite shocking actually. I'm still a bit in denial that Jasmine Star won't be our photographer, but I'm slowly trying to move on and open up my mind to other photographers out there. :)

Well, Jenetta Lea Penner Photography is holding a wedding photography contest. They are the only mother/daughter wedding photography team in San Diego. Isn't that neat?

Directions for entering the contest are below (these are copied from their blog):


We are giving free wedding photography away to one deserving couple whose wedding date falls between Dec 1, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2008.

Here’s what you win:

Six hours of Photography coverage by Jenetta Lea Penner Photography
Two photographers
5x5 bordered proof prints
One 11x14 Signature Gallery Print
Online proofing for 90 days after proof pick up.


Here are the rules:

1. You must be getting married between Dec 1, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2008

I've been praying about this all evening. I think God has given us a wonderful love story and it's definitely something worth sharing. We'll see what He does. :) It would be GREAT to have a free wedding photographer. I'm gonna keep praying about this one...

No Jasmine Star, huh? :( I'm sorry.

But, these photographers seem great! Their photos are so lively and fun, and this contest is amazing! You'll have to let me know when to vote, and I want to read your story!

Good luck! :)
