The great wedding giveaway….

In celebration of our new name and website, we are giving away free wedding day photography to one lucky couple!  Awesome, right?  A complete overview of how to enter this giveaway is provided at the bottom of this post. There are a few things about us that you should know before you enter…. We shoot film (and we are kind of obsessed with it too) and we love natural light.  If you love the photos you see on our site, then you probably love these things too.  And most importantly, we love couples that are madly and deeply in love….seriously…we do.

To make this giveaway even sweeter, the winner will also receive free wedding day styling by our lovely, talented friend, Ginny Au….stylist extraordinaire, and co-owner of the wildly popular FrouFrou Chic. This means Ginny will help you make everything look picture-perfect on your wedding day. That’s right…the woman who styled our vow renewal in Norway, and so many other weddings across the globe, will be styling our winners’ wedding too!

So here is what is included in all this giveaway goodness, valued at $6,000+:

*8 hours of wedding photography coverage by Nina and Wes

The Nina & Wes Photography giveaway entries will be accepted from today, until November 1, 2013 at 11:59pm.  We will then choose three finalists, who must be available to chat some time from November 4-7, 2013, because even though we are giving away free wedding photography, we want to make sure we are the right photographers for you.  We want to make sure that you not only love our work, but that you love us too!

The Official Rules for the Nina & Wes wedding photography giveaway:

You must be 18 years or older to enter, and getting married between now and December 31, 2014.  Your wedding can take place in the United States or internationally.

By entering this contest, and if your wedding is taking place more than 120 miles outside of the our home towns of Lexington, KY or Birmingham, AL, you agree to pay for all travel expenses for Nina, Wes and Ginny, if you are selected as the winner.  Nina & Wes Photography will make all travel arrangements (but don’t worry, we’ll keep the costs low!).

Couples who have already booked with Nina & Wes Photography are not eligible for this contest.

You cannot already be booked with another photographer.  Sorry, but we aren’t out to steal business from another hardworking photographer.

Your wedding must be on a day that isn’t already booked by Nina & Wes Photography.  You must have a set date when entering this contest, or be able to set a date within 2 weeks of winning.

Winners will be selected from three finalists by interview, either in person, or by telephone or skype.  Finalists should be available to chat some time between November 4-7^th, 2013.  We will definitely try to work with everyone’s schedules, but in the end, if the finalists cannot be available for the interview, they will be disqualified.  The winner will be chosen by Nina & Wes Photography, and all decisions are final.

The winners will be notified by email to the address they provided and announced on the blog on November 11^th.

A contract must be signed and returned to Nina & Wes Photography within 2 weeks of winning, along with any travel expenses that will need to be paid for the actual wedding day.

If the winning couple cannot claim their prize for any reason, they will be disqualified, and the runners-up will be awarded the prize at the discretion of Nina & Wes Photography.

Only one couple will be awarded the grand prize, with 8 hours of professional photography on their wedding day, and a usb of approximately 400-600 gorgeous, high resolution digital photos, with a print release.  All images will be available for online viewing for 6 months after they’ve been posted.  The approximate value of this package, along with Ginny Au’s styling, is $6,000.

This wedding giveaway prize cannot be sold, traded, transferred, or exchanged for cash or any other item or service.

The winning couple also agrees to be featured on www.ninaandwes.com, and also on any other publication that Nina & Wes Photography wish to submit to.  The names and images of the winning couple will be used by Nina & Wes Photography for promotional purposes.

All federal, state, and local taxes, fees and surcharges are the responsibility of the prize winners.

By participating in this wedding photography giveaway, you agree to be bound by these official rules.
