Happy New Year! Let’s start with a bang, eh? To that end, my good photography buddy Jamie (of Jamie M. Swanson Photography) and I are giving away a free day of wedding coverage to one lucky couple this year – just like we did last year! Want to know the details, read all the information below. Here’s to a wonderful 2010 for you and yours!
Why are you doing this?
We love photographing weddings and count it a blessing to participate in so many wedding day celebrations. We want to be able to give back some of that blessing by lending our time and talents to one lucky couple.
What does the couple get?
A full day of wedding coverage from the two of us. We’ll be with you in the morning when you get ready right through to the reception where everyone lets loose. We’ll then edit the photos and get them to you on disk, ready for printing. We’ll also upload the files to an online gallery that you can share with family and friends.
How will this work?
The couple, a family member or their friends submit the couple’s story via email to freewedding@andystenz.com. The stories will be read by us and our spouses. Among the four of us, we will choose a couple and announce the lucky couple on February 14th. If you aren’t the couple, please confirm with them that they don’t already have a photographer before you send in the entry.
Are there any rules?
- The couple must be getting married in 2010. The date must be open on our calendars. If there is a conflict in dates (if we both aren’t available for your wedding), we’ll let you know right away.
- The wedding has to be in Wisconsin within approximately 75 miles of West Bend. Think mainly Madison to Green Bay to Milwaukee. If you’re not sure, submit it anyway, that’s just a rough guideline as we are based out of different cities ourselves.
- We can’t already know you (we don’t want to show favorites). And we can’t have already been in contact with you for a wedding next year.
What do I need to include in my submission?
- The bride and groom’s first and last names and their contact information.
- The couple’s story (how they met, got engaged, and why they should be chosen for free wedding coverage, anything fun you want us to know about them – creativity is encouraged!).
- The wedding date and locations (of the ceremony, reception, etc – whatever may be known).
- A digital picture of the couple. This will be used when we announce the final couple.
Where and when do I send my Submission?
Email entry submissions and any questions you may have to freewedding@andystenz.com. And remember, submissions are due by January 31st, 2010 at midnight CST.

A few weeks ago, Mike and Kelly Schmitt, a couple from here in Waukesha, were surprised when the crew from Good Morning America showed up to host from their house! They had been picked to help showcase what life is like on “Main Street” throughout America. I thought it a good reason to go and take some photos ;-)
The filming started at about 5:30am and it wasn’t quite warm yet…
The whole morning crew was there: Chris, Diane, Robin and Sam.
The local ABC affiliate was on hand to interview the GMA anchors.
And they brought along Rodney Atkins and his band. The bassist got a kick out of the Racing Sausages which showed up to promote the Brewers.
If you are interested, you can check out http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/YourHouse/ for the video segments from that mornings shows.
an anniversary present

Jess and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary yesterday! To celebrate, we added a new personality to our home. I introduce to you, Miley:
Miley is a 1.5 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel who came to us by the same breeder as our first Cavalier, Oliver, did. Oliver meet with an untimely death a few years back and we miss him so. Kim, the breeder, was gracious enough to set us up to adopt Miley after her owner also met with an untimely death. Perhaps he is looking out for Oliver and we’ll look out after Miley for him!
We are very thankful to Kim and excited to have Miley at home with us. I hope you get the chance to meet her sometime. She’s got a lot of energy but will drop everything for some affection.
