plan a modern wedding in the middle of the country

Saint Louis photographer, Dennis Bullock, is currently hosting a giveaway contest for engaged and newly engaged couples.

Here’s the scoop:
Send Dennis an e-mail with your engagement story and a photo of you and your fiance(e). He and his team will pick the best story and the couple will win a complimentary engagement session with a 11×14 Fine Art portrait from one of their engagement pictures.

Details:
Who: Nominate yourself or a friend.
What: Email engagement story and a picture of the two of you.
Where: Winner must be located in the St. Louis metro area..
When: Nominations must be in by February 5th at 11:59CST. That gives you just about two and a half weeks!
Why: To celebrate love and make someone’s Valentine’s Day very exciting!

And, because almost no post is complete without pictures, here are some shots from previous engagement sessions photographed by Dennis.

Not too long ago, the City of Saint Louis opened the Citygarden.  It’s this great little “urban oasis” right in the heart of downtown.  Although I have yet to visit this lovely little spot in downtown, I am already in love with the idea of it.


Mark di Suvero for Citygarden

For those of you not familiar with Saint Louis, it’s a great town, but there has not been much to do downtown other than catch a St. Louis Cardinals‘ game (which I highly recommend), go to a St. Louis Rams‘ game or take a brewery tour at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery (which I also recommend, but maybe that’s because I used to be a tour guide there…I digress).  When the Citygarden opened (which is free, by the way), it gave Saint Louisans a great new spot to get away to on a beautiful day, which we have been having a lot of lately.  Plus you can bring your pets!

Not only is this place a fun spot to visit on a weekend (or for lunch on a weekday), but it is a great new spot for couples to get a few of their engagement or wedding photos.  You still get the feel of a park, but you get that urban feel that is really popular in photography right now.

Now I’m really excited to get my photos taken in a few weeks by a great friend for a new little project I’m working on (more on this later).
