A Practical Wedding, the book! And a giveaway.

categories Giveaway + Contest, Wedding Etiquette

We have a super exciting giveaway today for you lovely ladies planning your weddings. Where do you start, right? Who do you turn to for questions not related to pretty decor and inspiration and such? (Obviously you turn to us for that!)

You turn to Meg Keene and her new book A Practical Wedding, which is FULL to the last page with practical, thoughtful advice about how to get through the craziness that can so easily define the wedding planning process. We think it’s going to be the new “must read” for all newly engaged couples. Srsly!

It’s super fast and fun to read, and among other things, Meg shares real wedding budgets, broken down to the last dollar. If that’s not helpful… well. Of course it is! Plus she offers advice on how to communicate with your family about sticky issues, how to select a venue that makes sense for your wedding, how to incorporate or skip traditions, how to choose an officiant that will perform the kind of marriage ceremony you hope for, how to have a wedding in the midst of life’s challenges… it’s just great all around.

Leave a comment to enter and we’ll choose and email THREE winners next week. You guys are going to love it.

*** UPDATE! Winners have been randomly chosen and emailed. Congrats to Maria, Jessica W, and Celia! ***

Rad + In Love giveaway winners

categories Giveaway + Contest

We have them, Cakelets! For those of you who entered the Rad + In Love giveaway a few weeks ago, here’s how it all went down.

From Jamie and Michelle:

“It turns out when you make an open call and ask people to tell you all about themselves and the vision for their wedding, you (if you are anything like us) are going to just die over each and every email of heart pouring goodness, and will want to shoot every last one of them. And also be their best friends. But, you just can’t.

What you can do; if you are just a little bit crazy (like we are), and if you just can’t choose (as we could not), is decide to shoot not one but three free weddings.

With that we give you:

Everyone who entered, you are all an amazing group, thank you so much. To make our thanks corporeal (and because we are not lying when we say we want to shoot every last one of your weddings) we would be glad to offer each of you a deep discount. Just shoot us an email if you are interested.

100 LC? Thanks for having us. Your readers kick ass. We hope to report back with some amazing wedding goodness for you.

Now, we have some weddings to shoot! XO Jamie & Michelle.”

See how nicely things turn out? Congrats to the winners and to Jamie and Michelle for getting started with some amazing couples!

Rad and In Love: A wedding photography giveaway

categories Giveaway + Contest

We have the most spectacular giveaway today, you guys. It’s strictly for those of you still on the hunt for the perfect photographer for your wedding. Sound familar? We’re hoping we can solve your dilemma!

Jamie, a friend and very talented lifestyle photographer, and Michelle, a real pro who shoots weddings here and there, have come together to bring their rad indie feel to weddings. You’ll recognize Michelle’s work from Neel + Lucia’s beautiful, bohemian central coast wedding that we featured in August. Such a pretty one! If that’s the sort of style you’re going for, read on.

Jamie (of A Desert Fete) and Michelle (of Michelle Pullman Photography) want to photograph your wedding. For free.

Here’s the story:

A few years ago Jamie planned and designed her own wedding (and blogged about it, of course). Michelle photographed it.

Since then, Michelle has continued to work extensively as a professional photographer, while shooting weddings exclusively through word of mouth (thanks mostly to Jamie’s blogging habit). Jamie has started designing wedding invites, continued blogging, and wiling her weekends away by documenting life with her several cameras.

Recently while daydreaming together in a sunny park, they realized a few things:
1. They love weddings.
2. They love photography.
3. They love each other, and make an awesome team.

Now they want to shoot your wedding. Together. For free.

For real, no strings.

Jamie and Michelle are looking for an amazing wedding to set the tone for their work as a wedding photography team, and are holding a contest to find it. A couple will be chosen whose wedding style best jives with Jamie and Michelle’s photography style.

Want to see more?
-Michelle’s previous wedding work here.
-Her professional portfolio here.
-A bit of Jamie’s lifestyle photography here.

What would be covered:
-Both photographers for 8 hours of coverage.
-A disk of your digital images.
-A disk of low resolution scans of your film images. (Yes. We will be shooting part of the wedding in film. Yes. We are paying for it.)

What is not covered:
-Travel costs (if outside of the Los Angeles or San Diego area. Email us to discuss travel costs to other locations).
-Prints, enlargements, or an album (available for purchase, of course).

What we are asking of you:
-Be rad and in love and give us something lovely to shoot.
-Be stoked about our work.
-Be getting married* in the early half(ish) of 2012. Or heck, the end of 2011, if you still don’t have a photographer lined up! (*union need not be recognized by state; we don’t discriminate!)

Interested? Send an email with the following information (be creative!):
-Who you are (a photo of you two would be peachy!).
-When you are getting married.
-Where you are getting married (city and venue)
-Some details about your wedding and the inspiration helping to set the tone of it (images would be very helpful!)

Submissions must be made no later than Wednesday October 19th, Midnite (PST).

Awesome, right? We think this team is gonna rock.

Questions and submissions can be made to “radandinlove {at} gmail {dot} com”.

Now, get cracking!
