The prize is a free multimedia engagement session by Neil Cowley with a value of $3000. The quest is for a storyteller with heart and humor to tell the stories of wedding planning and engagement from inside their head and out through the web. Submit your journal, blog, video log, or contest entry to the comments here to be considered! Multimedia submissions will definitely score you bonus points!!
If you are chosen as the new blogger, I will help you design your engagement session and schedule it for as soon as possible. Â Your themed shoot will also produce Save the Date Cards, and a Signature Wedding Guestbook. Â You will then be responsible for writing 20-30 posts from your engagement and wedding.
The entries will be judged by Neil, Liesl and Deanna on the basis of creative writing, personal presentation and emotional candor. Â We are looking for writing style, emotional expression, and humorous visual flair (like Deanna’s barbie page).

I can’t really explain it any other way…in case you were wondering what I was doing earlier tonight.
We had to tolerate thunderstorm downpours – but we got to receive the blessings of the August sunset.  If you’re planning an August wedding in Upstate New York be sure to plan some time for sunset portraits.
There are a few things you must keep in mind when contemplating the way that you will propose marriage to your lady. First, this is a memorable moment, which will be told and retold over the years to your friends, family, children, and grandchildren. Make it a story worth telling. Secondly, every woman is different; make your proposal specific to her taste and personality. Some women would love nothing more than to have all their friends and family be witness to the event, while others would much prefer a private and intimate moment with you alone. First and foremost, make sure the way in which you ask makes her comfortable.
Make it a story worth telling…..of course this is near and dear to my heart and the humor of how everyone’s expectations are botched in funny little ways is part of the cuteness of such an enormous expectation. Â The expectation is the lock on the woman’s heart – and meeting it is the key to winning that heart with the Man’s gesture. Â I’m writing this for the Men so this is how you have to think of it:
Give her some bragging rights!
Seriously, she needs to be able to brag you up to her friends and family – and doing this right will help her do that and give her a greater sense of confidence as she earns their approval and admiration from the story you create. Â A great story makes her feel unique and special at the same time.Â
Planning and patience, wow – that was an amazing project!
Plan some time for pictures into your wedding schedule – and we’ll be able to be creative and allow you and your husband to have time to relate. If we’re all feeling rushed, it doesn’t allow for the creativity to bloom the same way!
