Photograph a wedding for free???  Yes, we’re at it again!  We had such an amazing response to last years contest that we’ve decided to do it again.  You may remember last year we launched our contest Operation Wedding as it was all over the news.  Only this year there is a new theme.  We are looking for an area couple that is getting married in 2010 that either the bride or groom works in the field of Law Enforcement, EMT/Paramedic or Firefighter.

We are so grateful for the many men and women that keep us and our families safe on a daily basis, so this is our way to give a little something back and say ‘thank you’.

Here’s the 411:  E-mail us your story!  You can even e-mail us the story of a couple that you think deserves to have their wedding photographed for free.  Be sure to include a photo of the future bride and groom together.

Who can enter:  We are looking for a couple that either the bride or groom works in the field of law enforcement, paramedic or firefighter and has a great story or one who has overcome great difficulties.  You must be getting married in Northeast Ohio sometime in 2010 and we must be available for your wedding date.  You must be willing to have your story and photo posted on our blog.
