I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!!

So I saw this great idea that a photographer did in California where she hosted a "shootout" for engaged couples to raise money for a charity.
Basically she invited fellow photographers to come and do mini engagement sessions for engaged couples for a donation.
I thought this was a great idea but wanted to incorporate it into my wedding and event planning business....
So....I found some of the DC area's hottest photographers and we are doing something similar. Ultimately I want to do this for a charity as well but I didn't have enough time to get that set up so...I am hoping to do this again in the Fall.
If you know of anyone who just recently got engaged...please pass this on...

The 1st Annual "Will You..." Engagement shoot...
May 1st from 10-noon (times could change depending on the number of participants)
There are 5 photographers participating...I will post names and bio's in the next week or 2.
Location- Somewhere in the Tyson's area...am working on a location now.
What will happen: You will get a 15 minute mini session with each photographer as well as a few low-resolution images. You may also have a chance to order more images...depends on the photographer.
Also, you will have a chance to enter for a FREE videoagrapher to do your wedding! The free videoagraphy session is being offered by Moon River Video. 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive 50% off of the package of their choice with Moon River Video.
How much will this cost?? NOTHING- NADA- ZIP- ZILCH!!! It's FREE!!

Why are we doing this? We want you to have a chance to "test drive" some of the area's hottest photographers before you book!
I will also be there (of course...I'm hosting the event) with bridal packets and information on Bella Mia's services....also, you will have a chance to enter for 50% off of the package of your choice OR a FREE "Wedding Angel" package which includes online support only.

What are the rules you ask?
The rules are simple...you must be engaged and have a wedding date set.
You can not have a contract with a photographer or wedding/event planner already.
And....you must RSVP by the 28th of April to be included in the event.

This FREE event is one that you should really plan on being at...mark it in your calendars and call to RSVP and of course, pass it on to all your engaged friends!!
