Bridal Show Contest | Giveaway | Central Florida Wedding Photographer

Congratulations on your engagement! It was a pleasure meeting you at the bridal show, and we are so excited for you to enter our giveaway! Please make sure to read the instructions before entering. Good luck!

Before we give the details of entering to win, we wanted to let you all know that our website (SivanPhotography.com) and e-mail (info@SivanPhotography.com) are currently down. However, you can still visit our wedding website, SivanPhotographyWeddings.com and reach us at SivanPhotography@gmail.com. 

Let us know if you have any questions! :-)

And now onto the good stuff...

Because we love, love, (did we say love?)...LOVE bridal shows and the couples we meet there, we wanted to extend an extra giveaway for those who were willing to take one step further by visiting our blog via their Tag app. So what is the prize, you ask?

A FREE engagement session, valued at over $300! 

Now a question many couples ask: "What is an engagement session really about?" An engagement session has multiple benefits:

1. Fun, flirty, artistic photos of you and your honey all dolled up. Though we think that should be enough reason, there are still some more! 

2. Testing, 1 2 3...Before you buy a car, do you test drive it? Yes. Before you see a movie, do you watch the trailer? Yes. So why not take your photographer for a "test drive?" An engagement session is the perfect opportunity to make sure that you love your photographer in every way, shape and form. From their personalities (we've been told ours is pretty fun!), to the way they help you relax in front of the camera, to of course...the final product. 

3. You only get engaged once. For some, the engagement is short and sweet (seriously...some people are able to pull off an incredible wedding with just a few months of planning!), and for others it can be up to a couple of years or more. There are so many beautiful moments you can experience as an engaged couple. From the first time you call him/her your "fiance," to the engagement party, picking out your dress, choosing your wedding party, bridal showers, etc. (I had to stop somewhere...I could go on and on about the joys of being engaged!). Why not take a snapshot of part of it? You get to show off your sparkly, flawless ring to the camera, you get to nuzzle (if you have your session with us, you'll quickly learn we LOVE having you "nuzzle" with each other), and ultimately, you are just able to enjoy being together for a day of fun. 

Okay okay, I'll stop talking and get to the part about entering to win this fabulous prize! 

The Meredith Family | Orlando Portrait Photographer

The Meredith family is another one close to my heart. They have been my parents neighbors for the past 8 years, and they have been nothing short of amazing to our family. In the last two years, both of their sons got married (one of them to a high school friend of mine!), and we are all living within just a couple of miles from each other.

They have all been so supportive with my dad heading off to the Amazon on his 5,000 mile expedition. I know my mom loves having them around, and I do too!

The Heinecke Family | Orlando Portrait Photographer

When we bought our first house just before our wedding early last year, we had no idea what to expect from our neighborhood. We drove around it a few times before buying, but the only thing we knew about our neighbors was that "they are nice" (said the previous home-owners). "They are nice" really doesn't do justice to our incredible neighbors. They are ALL more than just "nice." They welcomed us with open arms not only into the neighborhood, but into their homes and lives. We have become so close with each of them; particularly this incredible family. The Heinecke's are like family to us now, and we can't even fathom ever moving away from this neighborhood and being away from them and their three beautiful children. 

Beautiful twins <3 

Jenn & Robert: Expecting! | Orlando Family Photographer

Jennifer & Robert are one of our favorite couples ever! They are such easy-going, loving, and happy people. We photographed their wedding in 2011, and we were ecstatic when they announced that they were expecting and wanted us to capture some of those precious moments. But there isn't just one cute little baby Frost in there...there are two! 

Jenn and Robert are going to be such incredible parents, and I know like everyone else in their lives, we cannot wait to meet these two precious baby boys!

What a stunning mommy-to-be!

Amanda & Dmitry: Engaged! | Orlando Wedding Photographer

I had such a great time walking around downtown Orlando with Amanda & Dmitry. They are such a fun-loving, happy couple. Their wedding next year is going to be absolutely beautiful! We can't wait! <3

Shireen & Girardeau: Married! | Orlando Wedding Photographer

Shireen & Girardeau got married just a few short weeks ago at the beautiful Royal Crest Room in St. Cloud, FL. These two are so madly in love. How do I know? Well let's start with the fact that every time they looked at each other, they grinned from ear-to-ear. They constantly laughed together, loved on one another, and just flat out enjoyed every single moment of their wedding day together. We've been lucky in having very few couples who let stress get the best of them on their wedding day, but Shi and G were truly relaxed. Nothing seemed to bother them; they smiled and enjoyed everyone's company, and they really made a perfect day even more perfect with their incredibly personalities. <3

Enjoy the sneak peek!
