Win a Free Engagement Shoot With Fromage Photography!

Now that the Valentine’s Day season is over, I’m hosting a free engagement photography contest to help spread the love during these chilly winter months. Please see the details below on how to submit yourself or another engaged couple!

WINNING COUPLE’S SUPER FANCY PRIZE!

  • A 1-2 hour free engagement shoot in the Philadelphia area ($150 value). The winning couple and I will brainstorm together to come up with funtabulous location ideas for the shoot.
  • 20-50 high-resolution, edited images mailed to the couple on DVD.

ELIGIBILITY

  • The winning couple must have an honest-to-goodness inspirational story about why they deserve this free engagement shoot.
  • The winning couple must consent to having their story and photoshoot published online.
  • Nearby couples from out of state may also apply! (A travel fee may apply)
  • Contestants must be US Legal residents, 18 years of age or older.
  • Applicants must not have already booked a photographer for their engagement shoot or wedding photography.  Stealing business from other talented photographers is a big no-no here at Fromage Photography!

Please email me with any questions at hello@fromagephotography.com. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to read your stories!

Michelle - Shannon! I love the picture you chose for this post :) I forwarded this along to a good friend of mine who will be in Philly visiting from Portland at the end of March. I really hope she wins and gets the opportunity to work with you! Hope you are well, much love.

Michelle M - I have completed all the steps for the contest. Fingers crossed!

Engagement: Melissa and Matt


This engagement shoot with my friends Melissa and Matt was especially fun since they met at Six Flags Great Adventure as young employees at the park. The adorable couple is getting married on 11-11-11, so we scouted out all of the 11′s we could find within the amusement park.

This was my first experience taking photos on teacups and roller coasters, so my picture-snapping went hand in hand with giggling and screaming like a girl.



Melissa and Matt first met working near this popcorn stand, so it was especially cute to have them revisit it after being engaged.

I’ll pretend like we went out of our way to match Melissa’s tongue to her shirt, but as it turns out, blue cotton candy is just more delicious!







We were all really surprised when the number 11 skyway cart made its way to us while we were standing in line. If that doesn’t say fate, I don’t know what does!



Thanks to Melissa and Matt for hosting such a fun and unique engagement shoot and congrats on your upcoming marriage!

Pete - you make these two noodles look good

Teasers: Sarah & Mikey

The adorable Carina of Love Me Do Photography was kind enough to hire me as a second shooter for Sarah & Mikey’s gorgeous DIY wedding since her photography partner-in-crime was attending as a guest. These are a few teasers from the ceremony, which took place at Wissahickon Park in Philadelphia. After the ceremony, we headed to the reception at the Power Plant Studios, which was an a fun, artsy venue. Be sure to stop by soon for in-depth posts from the couple’s beautiful wedding day!
