Lori of Paper and Thread Studio (a lovely and independent stationery studio) posted this wedding giveaway yesterday (in celebration of Prop 8 being overturned) for one lucky same-sex couple getting married in Southern California. As soon as Adm and I saw it, we knew we wanted to be involved and somehow show our support for marriage equality. So, we are happy and excited to announce that we'll be providing wedding photography for the chosen couple. We're joining a pretty incredible team of vendors so I have no doubt that this is going to be one amazing wedding!
To enter, same-sex couples can email lori@paperandthreadstudio.com. Please include a picture of the happy couple and tell us a little bit about you and your wedding (including the date) and how winning this giveaway would impact your wedding plans. Please note that this is open to same-sex couples getting married in the San Diego or Orange County area.
Here is the nice little blurb that Lori had on her blog about the giveaway:
If it isn’t painfully obvious, I love weddings, and I love them mostly because I love “love” and couples in love. When I heard about the Prop 8 reversal, I wanted to do something to celebrate that fact that love between two people can equal marriage regardless of sexual preference. Lucky me, I have a few friends that wanted to jump on board too.
One lucky couple will receive:
-up to 100 custom letterpress invitations (designed by Paper and Thread Studio and printed by Cleanwash Letterpress)
-day-of wedding coordination (provided by Swann Soirees)
-complimentary photo booth rental (provided by After the Engagement)
-an engagement photography session (provided by Melissa McClure)
-wedding day photography (provided by Alison Yin)
-personal florals (boutenierre, bouquet) (provided by Floral Occasions)
We always love trying and doing new things so we were pretty excited to photograph our first ever proposal, especially since one of the brides-to-be is the older sister of one of my best childhood friends. Kai popped the question to her long-time girlfriend Alisha on a drizzly day in the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. And, their timing could not have been better as their engagement took place just days before the Supreme Court rulings that struck down DOMA and Prop 8. We are ecstatic for our former and future same-sex couples who can now legally marry and that we are one *big* step closer to marriage equality. Congratulations, Kai and Alisha!!!
