I'm very excited to announce the start of 'The Annual Wedding Gift' again in 2010! This is something that I feel strongly about and is my small way of giving back to others. As we can all see through the recent events in Haiti hardships come upon all of us. Just like last year I'm reaching out to all of you to collect stories of engaged couples who are in need due to various circumstances (losing a job, family tragedy, other hardships) and struggling either financially or emotionally. I'll read over each story and then choose one couple that I feel most connected to. The chosen couple will have their wedding photographed by me and will receive a disc of images at no charge. If the wedding requires me to travel, like last year's winner, then I require that all my travel expenses be covered.
Here are the guidelines for how the program works:
- E-mail all stories to me at michael@howardphoto.com
- All stories must be submitted by midnight on March 20th, 2010.
- You must provide the couple's name, contact information, wedding date and location
- You may send in your own story or the story of a couple that you know
- The chosen couple will be notified privately by the end of March
- The couple that I choose will be required to meet in person and to sign a written contract
The chosen couple will receive the following:
- Complimentary wedding coverage by me for up to 8 hours on the wedding day
- A complimentary high-resolution disc of the images with a written copyright release
Here are some images from last year's recipients, Nita and Jason in Grand Rapids, Michigan!
I look forward to hearing from all of you! Last year was a true blessing for me!
