Wow! What an awesome and rad way to bless a very lucky couple. Can't wait to read who it is :)
agreed. very generous of you to offer this, and i look forward to seeing the couple you select!
Man.. wish you did this in 2007!!! My husband and I are youth pastors.. What a great idea! Working in a non-profit org. takes a ton of sacrifice.. it's so good to know there are people like you who value hard selfless work. Very impressive of you =) God bless!
Exciting! :)
Way to go Mike! That's stepping up in a big way and giving somebody a gift that they possibly wouldn't be able to afford otherwise!
amazing! me and my husband work for the non for profit: http://www.himalayaninstitute.org/
we got married in 2004 and could not afford a wedding photographer.
really i understand what non profit means, really no profit.
i do photography for them plus childcare. i am just starting to do wedding and family portraits on the side to raise funds: http://maureencassidyphotography.com/
wishful thinking, but... perhaps some day you can offer something similar to your RAVED about workshops!
thanks for your amazing work!
always inspiring!
Great idea. In these times, you will truly be a blessing to some beatiful couple. Quick question: I am opening an 1800 sq ft recording studio. One of the rooms I plan to use as a rental photography studio. Can you provide advice on what we should provide (i.e. nothing, backdrops, props, etc.)? How should we package this service? What would be a good rate?

OK Niiiice. See you next week cuz...Have the mats ready, Gracie jiu-jitsu / workshop with great new students from all over its gonna be a blast... goodtimes coming
cool. this year, i decided to gift wedding photography services. you can't help but think that it just might be the wedding of the year. isn't it amazing to give? the more i do, the more amazing it all becomes. i think i am being 'made' by giving. it's seems as though you can never, ever lose out in giving. may blessings flow (for whomever needs them)...
Good times. I love how everyone is coming together for this. Don't forget, I'll on board as a second shooter. :) Uncle ray said he will take you down next week. Them are fighting words.
so cool mike! keep up the good work!
WOW! Talk about blessing someone! This will definitely be a hard decision to make, but I'm confident that the couple will be well deserving.
God Bless!
So wonderful you are doing this.
