Let Freedom Ring!

7.04.2008

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?
INSPIRE US!!!!
Here is how to enter:
1. -Send us a recent color snapshot of the two of you via email
2. -Send us your love story, we are all about who, what, when, where, why and how- so please tell all the more we know the better your chances! Funny, Sad, Happy, just inspire us!
3. -Why you feel we should choose your wedding over others
4. -Tell us about your wedding plans: date, location, any other details associated with the event
5. -And of course your contact information: email, address, phone

Rules:
1. All entries must be submitted by email to
cassie@cassandradieterlephotography.com by Aug 30, 2008 , any entries received after midnight (12:00am) HST on Sep 1, 2008 will not be accepted.
Entries that are not complete will not be accepted (we must have all of the above info to accept the application)
2. Location and Date must already be set- winners subject to available dates only from January 1, 2009-Jan 1, 2010.
3. Winners cover the COST of travel and accommodations for time necessary to fully document the event (average3-4 days)- we do the rest.
Airplane tickets, a hotel and meals while working. That's it. We don’t need the red carpet treatment, simply get us there and a room where you are staying or nearby where you will be getting hitched and we are all set! Whatever extra time we stay (or if we come early) will be out of our own pocket!
4. Winners will be announced on October 1, 2008 and notified by phone and email.

Here is what is included in our free services:
1. As with all of our events winners will get a private online gallery and ordering site along with 4x6 printed proofs of their choice number determined by hours we shoot, Unlimited number of images shot by both Cassandra and David Dieterle, full resolution images on disk.
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.

Operation Love Reunited

5.02.2008

OpLOVE

David and I have been doing military appreciation days for about 5 years now; once a year with several families and we love being able to give back to those who sacrifice so much for all of us and our freedoms! So when we were invited to become a part of Operation Love Reunited we jumped at the opportunity! OpLove is a non profit organization that is made up of photographers around the country who give their time to our service members and their families who are deployed, being deployed or returning from deployment. Each service member is given up to a total of 2 sessions (one before, one when they return for example).

the "Y" family below you will notice is without daddy right now, lets all pray that he comes home safe...soon! Until then his little princess and boxer to be will have these photos (and more) sent to their daddy overseas so he can share these moments.

this is my favorite shot from the day...I love her princess slippers with daddy's boots
He looks like he's boxing, but he's actually learning to clap...he just hasn't figured out how to open his hand yet!


little girls just LOVE lipstick!

Baby #2 is on her way!

11.27.2007

Ok... here they are... my belly shots! We have been waiting to announce the pregnancy on the blog until we had some images to go along with it. So finally (after almost 8 months) we had the chance to take some... on our recent trip to Utah...
To answer the questions...that everyone asks....
it's a Girl...according to Dr's
She is due in Feb
Yes...Brooklyn is SO Excited to become a big sister and we too are excited to finally have another addition to our family!
And the big question all you brides ask.............when will you be shooting and how will this change things
WE will still be shooting as a team, still offering all the current services and products (and maybe more new ones soon), really the only change will be we will not be shooting until June 1st 2008.Once we do resume we will resume with a limited number of bookings each month until baby is older. So what does this mean for you?....By limiting the numbers of clients we take we can provide outstanding service to each individual couple, so if you are interested in our services- Book as soon as you can, once we have reach our monthly max we can not take more.
