I know (because we have to keep our phone in an ice bucket in January, it’s ringing so often with excited wedding enquiries) that lots and lots of people pop ‘The Question’ over the Christmas and New Year period – so I know there’s lots and lots of excited prospective wedding couples out there.
And, of course, Valentines Day is just around the corner…
So, this year, I thought we’d get the act together early, and actually DO something nice.
How do you fancy a full location engagement shoot, plus £50 towards a romantic meal out?
Of course you do!
If you got engaged recently, all you have to do is mail your story to me at info@courtenayphotographic.co.uk – how you got together, or how the proposal went, or even just your Story So Far… We’ll read them, and publish the good ones here on the blog for everyone to “oooh!’ at (send us a picture of you both, too, of course).
Despite having covered over a thousand weddings, I never do get tired of the love and romance of a good woo-ing – and I know no one else does either. So we’re looking for stories the way we look at photography – anything that makes us FEEL. Make us gasp, make us laugh or make us cry and you’re in with a shout. The winning couple gets an engagement shoot (in Dorset) with me, plus a romantic Valentines meal too.
(It doesn’t matter where you live either; you just have to tell me your chosen restaurant and I’ll call them to pop £50 in the till ready for you to spend. You just have to make plans to come to Dorset for the shoot – don’t worry, it’s a seriously pretty place to come visit)
So – go on, tell us about your shiny new engagement. Show us the romance…
Closing Date for entries 12th February 2012, winner will be announced on the 13th, just in time for Valentines Day.

Merry Christmas To You All
From all of us xx
On Christmas morning since medieval times, church bells have been rung to announce to the world the coming of the saviour. It was customary from the 18th century to wear clothes and carry a small bell to signify the birth of Christ. The ringing of the bells was to signify the importance of the His Birth.
Hope you have enjoyed our Christmas trivia facts this year, have a Merry Christmas
Hanging the Christmas stocking on the hearth on Christmas Eve in the hope that it will be filled with presents the next morning is a custom that goes back about 400 years. It derived from the custom in Holland of children placing wooden shoes next to the hearth the night before the arrival of St. Nicholas. The children would fill their shoes with straw and food for St Nicholas’s for the donkey that carried the gifts. In exchange he would leave them a small gift such as small cakes, fruits and other gifts. Stockings were substituted for the shoes in Britain, most of Europe and in North America.
