This is a super big deal for all of you brides out there. Brittany Croft, a Charleston wedding photographer, is holding a giveaway of her amazing talents for a lucky 2012 bride. I and Erin of A Lowcountry Wedding have the very challenging task of judging the contest and I’m so excited to be a part of it!

Read the post on Brittany’s blog, but here are some of the details again for your convenience:

To enter: Between December 19th and January 5th, send an email to britt@brittcroft.com with the subject: 2012 Wedding Giveaway and include the following information…

- You and your fiance’s name (or a friend and his/her fiance’s name! You can absolutely enter on a friend’s behalf so long as they are getting married in 2012!
- A short but sweet story about you two as a couple, something that makes you unique, something funny or special, or just flat out why you deserve to win
- Up to 3 photos of the two of you together
- Wedding date & venue/location(s)
- Just for fun: Your favorite way to spend your time together on the weekends?
- Contact information (email and phone)

How it works: Up to five finalists may be chosen by Brittani, Erin from A Lowcountry Wedding, and Sarah from Dodeline Design based off of their story submitted. A blurb from each story accompanied by an image will be put into The 2012 Wedding Giveaway album on the Britt Croft Photography Facebook page, and you send your friends to “like” your image between January 10th and January 24th. Remember they must first “like” the Britt Croft Photography page! The picture with the most likes by 6 p.m. on January 24th wins, the picture with the second-most likes wins 25% savings, and the following morning, one finalist couple will be chosen for a free engagement session!

What you could win:

1. First Place: 8 hours of wedding day coverage with Brittani, an online gallery for sharing with friends and family, a DVD of all final high-res images (500-800) with a personal print release, a complimentary engagement session

2. Second Place: 25% savings on wedding day coverage and add on’s if booked within 3 months

3. All finalists: 10% savings on wedding day coverage if booked within 3 months and one free engagement session given away to a randomly chosen (using random.org) finalist couple

The fine print: Just the things I’m obligated to include! :)

- You must be engaged and actively planning a 2012 wedding – OR – your friend must be engaged…yada yada yada. You can definitely enter on the behalf of a friend as long as they are planning a 2012 wedding! :)
- The wedding can take place anywhere, but weddings outside of South Carolina will be subject to standard travel fees
- Additional add on’s (second photographer, album, parent’s album, additional hours, etc.) are available at regular prices
- Questions? Want to learn more about me or my business? I’m more than happy to answer any questions :) Send them to britt@brittcroft.com
