Since we were sleeping off our food comas on Black Friday, sightseeing in Arizona on Small Business Saturday, and flying home on Cyber Monday, we decided to start our own shopping holiday called Two Two Tuesday just for you. We oh so rarely run any specials like this so we hope that it makes your day. $500 smackaroos off our half or whole day coverage, local or not for couples getting married in 2012. It’s as simple as that. Catch? No catch. But there are a few rules…

// You must send us a completed inquiry by THIS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3rd. (A “completed” inquiry means that you actually fill out all the info categories and also fill out the questionnaire we send you minutes after.)

// You must complete your booking by December 31st of this year. (That means you’ve signed our contract and gotten your retainer payment in to us.)

// You must be getting married in 2012 on a date we are still available for.

// You must be awesome, love our work, and trust us completely with your wedding photography.

// This offer cannot be combined with any other discounts or used if we’ve already sent you a custom quote for your wedding.

// We reserve the right to end the promotion early if necessary.

// This promotion cannot be applied to weddings already booked with us for 2012.

That’s it! So hop on over to our contact form and get to filling so we can check our availability for you and send you more info and pricing. Happy Two Two Tuesday!

A few weeks ago (okay, in February) we held a contest for couples to submit creative pictures with the numbers “222″ in them for a contest giving away a pretty awesome swag bag of prizes. We got a bit behind as our schedules got crazy so we figured we’d just pick a winner and they’d win it all! After talking it over together (and making sure we were available for their date) we chose Krista & Wesley for their heart warming submission including airplanes.

Here is what Krista had to say:
Wesley and I have been dating since May of 2006. Some things we love are frozen yogurt, good movies, and playing xbox 360. Wesley and I used airplanes in the background of our picture because it has somewhat of a significance in our history. On one of our first dates he took me to St. Augustine to visit one of his good friends. (A little background: Wesley has been a big fan of airplanes since he was a kid- paper airplanes, remote controlled airplanes, pretty much anything that can fly). On our date he went outside to fly a remote controlled airplane and was so incredibly excited when I seemed interested. He told me later on… “When you wanted to fly airplanes with me, I knew I had to marry you“. True Story.

And for the photographers who entered our contest for the canvas from Pixel 2 Canvas, we chose this awesome submission from Shelly of Doggy Studio & Boutique in Miami. We loved her creativity!

Here’s what Shelly had to say:
Although I dream of taking beautiful wedding pictures I have established myself as a dog photographer. I wanted to participate (using dog photography) in your contest but my dog will not have me running around with a light without running right behind me. I took some photos spelling out 222 using light applying a totally different concept. The light being the sun casting a shadow with the numbers. I hope you enjoy my silly attempt to do something cool with your challenge.

Thank you to everyone who entered. Your entries were all lovely and made us smile and we wish we could choose every one of you! And to the winners, please contact us via email to claim your prizes at info(at)studio222photography(dot)com.
