Another day, another fantastic photographer

Posted by budgetdreams on February 20th, 2008

Free photo packages seem to be the thing to do this wedding season, with many high end photographers holding competitions and rewarding the winners with a free wedding photographer package. It’s great for you guys - I hope you are entering all of them! Here is another one for you from Karenscape Photography! Share your story of how you found “the one” for a chance to win a $9700 photography package! They are giving away one package every 3 months. They are located in Manhatten, and will travel up to 75 miles before charging travel fees. But - for a $9700 free package, I’d pay a fair amount of travel expenses, lol.
