A good photographer friend of mine, Christine Tremoulet, from Houston recently posted about how some local photographers are offering to help out displaced brides from Hurricane Ike. Two very popular venues locally are filing bankruptcy after their properties were damaged during the storm leaving brides without returning any monies paid upfront for the venue.
Based on my availability, I will offer one displaced bride 6 hours of wedding photography services with two photographers (provided I can find someone as my network isn’t QUITE as huge there as it is here!), online hosting of all edited images and a DVD with reproduction rights for the price of one round trip ticket to your location. I would love to be able to do this for free like the local photographers are doing but I hope you all understand that I can’t do it totally for free 🙂
What I would need from you is a copy of your contract to prove that you are a bride that was contracted with either Tuscany of Garden Oaks or Bella Terraza, your new wedding date, a note explaining your situation and a photo of the two of you.
Please contact me via my email at corey@coreyann.com by November 1st. Please let me know if your date is sooner – I do have some dates available before then if you are in a time crunch and I may be able to help out. I will then let the couple know whom is chosen and will also blog about it.
