St. Louis Area Wedding Photographer Holds Contest for Free Wedding
Maplewood, MO – April 23, 2009 – In our current economic climate, some people are cutting costs wherever possible. Unfortunately, if you are getting married, skimping is not a good choice when it comes to your pictures. High quality professional photography comes at a premium that should not be sacrificed due to a tightening of budgets. Great wedding photography will give a lifetime of reliving the memories.
In an effort to ease the burden, David J. Cerven (owner of Studio Altius, a photography studio located in Maplewood), has announced that Studio Altius Weddings is holding a contest to award a full wedding photography package of up to $10,000 to one deserving couple. From April 15 through August 31, 2009, couples may enter to win. All participating couples will receive a free engagement photoshoot and have a profile that will appear on the Studio Altius Blog and on Studio Altius Weddings Facebook page. The public will then vote throughout the month of September for the couple they feel is most deserving of the free wedding photography package.
Studio Altius Weddings specializes in fully customizable wedding photography. They have 15 photographers, 2 digital artists, a beautiful studio, and completely customized product options in order to make sure brides receive exactly what they want. Besides great wedding day coverage, Studio Altius is known best for its popular Studio Bridal Photoshoots. These are fashion-style photoshoots where the bride comes to the studio with her dress before the wedding with her finished “trial-run” hair and make-up. It is a great opportunity for brides to get some beautiful images without the rush of the wedding day.
