2016 has been an amazing year so far. I have been so lucky to photograph truly inspiring, joyful and genuine couples. They have trusted me to tell their story and I’ve even ended up with some amazing friendships. From intimate weddings in grandma’s backyard to elopements on the cliffs of Big Sur, this year is going to be a hard one to top. I believe that each wedding is an adventure and I’m so grateful to take part in every one!
I want to give back in the best way I could imagine: another wedding photography giveaway! Last year when I changed my business name, I hosted my first giveaway on Instagram for wedding coverage anywhere in the US. The winners, Arianne and Chase, got married last month at a beautiful camp wedding in Flagstaff, AZ.
Here are some words from the 2016 giveaway winner: “I instantly knew that having Jessica photograph our wedding was going to be the best. She has a way about her that just makes you feel so comfortable and like you have known her for years… We knew by looking at her photo galleries and instagram that the photos were going to be beautiful, but we honestly couldn’t even believe the final result! The photos she took are absolutely stunning!!… Every time we look at the pictures we get chills and teary eyed. They absolutely capture every part and feeling of the day. She took some photos that my husband and I love, but don’t even remember her taking… Jessica is so kind and adds so much to the day besides just photography. She offered her advise on our DIY flower arrangements and even offered to refill my glass during the reception. She truly is amazing. If you are searching for a photographer for your wedding, seriously consider Jessica. You will not regret it.”
What do you win:
One lucky couple will receive a complimentary wedding photography package valued at $3,400:
• 8 hours of wedding day coverage by Jessica Hickerson
• high-resolution, edited images
• 10 year online gallery
Entries will be accepted on Instagram until October 17th 2016 at 10:00am. Please make sure you are available via phone or email on the 17th and 18th to answer questions I might have (to make sure I would be the right fit for your day!). The winner will be announced Wednesday October 19th.
How to enter:
- Follow me on Instagram and “like” the original giveaway post
- Post a new photo of you and your fiancé and share a bit about your story + your wedding plans
- Tag me in the photo and use the hashtag #hickersongiveaway
- Email me at jessica@jessicahickerson.com with your full wedding details and contact information
The fine print:
In order to enter, you must be at least 18 years old and getting married sometime in 2017. Please already have a date + venue booked or be able to select one by the time the giveaway ends. (And obviously it must be a day that I am not already booked!) If you have already booked me as your wedding photographer, you are not eligible for this contest.
While this giveaway is open to anyone in the US + beyond to enter, wedding or elopements more than 50 miles outside of Los Angeles are subject to travel fees. The winner will be selected by Jessica Hickerson and then announced on Instagram on October 19th as well as notified via email. If they choose not to accept the prize, Jessica will choose an alternative recipient.
