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! 

Liz's Graduations Session | Orlando Portrait Photographer

We photographed Liz and Brian's engagement session back in 2010, their wedding in 2011, and now her graduation photos in 2012. These two are always SO much fun to photograph. They have the most lighthearted personalities that are so contagious. You just can't help but be in a good mood around them, and that's why I love them so much!

We met up at Rollins last week for Liz's graduation session. Rollins has to be one of my top favorite places to take photos. There are endless beautiful locations to photograph in. We had a blast, as always, and I hope you enjoy their sneak peek!

I have a feeling she loves Brian ;)

Frances & Johnny: Married! | Orlando Wedding Photographer

Frances holds a special place in my heart. Not only is she one of the sweetest girls EVER (seriously, even when she was stressed before the wedding, she was still ridiculously sweet!!), but she and I went to high school together. We spent time together here and there, and I even remember working on a science project at her house one day. We lost touch in person, but thankfully Facebook exists and kept us connected! Every once in a while I'd peek on her page to see what she was up to. Either she was modeling (yep, this lovely lady was even on a billboard for Ron Jon's!), surfing, boating, acting, or just loving life in general. When I saw that she was engaged, I really hoped she'd contact me about doing her photos. I was ecstatic when she did! I knew that she'd be so much fun to photograph. She's beautiful inside and out, and she just shines in the photos she takes. 

Enter Johnny: handsome, sweet, and so madly, deeply in love with her! I didn't meet him until the wedding day, but when he entered the room, you could tell he was so proud to soon be marrying his best friend. The great thing (other than them getting married of course!) about it all is that they're bringing a beautiful baby girl into the world this December! Her name is Stella Rose, and I cannot wait to meet her! 

And a big "thank you" to my lovely second shooter, Missy, for helping me at this wedding! <3

Anyway, enough talk and onto the good stuff. Enjoy the sneak peek! 

If you're a family or friend of theirs and want to see your photo booth pictures (or the rest of their photos, for that matter), simply ask them for their password and gallery information. :)

So ethereal <3

I don't know what it is about the one of his hand on her, but I am in love with that photo! 

Another one of my favorites <3

A natural beauty with a lovely little baby-belly 

These two are so madly in love...I could photograph them all day long! 

Bring on the party!

This sequence of the guys catching the garter cracks me up!
