Well since today is the 4th of July and it's all about freedom, we figured today would be the perfect day to announce our annual FREE Wedding Photography contest! As some of you may know every year we take a stock photo trip or two and we always so INSPIRED by the different surroundings we talk about how cool it would be to shoot a wedding in one of these great locations around the world! Being on this little group of islands is AWESOME, however these islands are small and after shooting here for quite some time we have pretty much covered every area of the island regularly requested for weddings. As every city has hot spots so do we and while we enjoy shooting in a familiar place, sometimes we just want something different- even if it is a different place in Hawaii! Hawaii has a lot of really cool urban areas- but you wouldn’t know it because no one dares to shoot there- most of the brides we encounter want the beach or a pretty park- understandably because it is beautiful! But we are looking for something not only attractive to the eye, but different and so to get it we are willing to give away free wedding coverage and not just in Hawaii but anywhere in the world!
Yep that is correct two free wedding photographers to cover your event anywhere in the world! So what is the catch you say?

2. Here is what is different… time restrictions don’t apply in the same way they do for our other events! “In other words, we will be at your disposal for the rehearsal AND all the way through the wedding (times and dates for these will be discussed and finalized weeks prior to your event.) So if you want to do engagement, bridal, rehearsal, and wedding AND the day after the wedding, you'd like to go out and get some "extra" portraits (on the beach...under a waterfall...in a sea kayak...top of the Eiffel Tower) without having to worry about your dress, we are THERE!!!”
There are no strings attached--you won't be charged tax, forced to buy anything else if you don't want to, or anything like that. This is solely an opportunity for us to give a deserving couple something that we hope they will treasure. Feel free to send this entry to your deserving friends.
