Out of this world wedding contest!

So recently I was at a Recession Bride's Workshop, where one of the couples there were the hosts of The Broke-Ass-Bride and during the seminar we began talking about photographers. Dana started to share on how their photographer was holding a contest to give away a wedding package. This was something I had thought about in the past but never knew how I would lay it out. Well I got to work the following Monday and started talking to my Co-Worker Paul Manke, an amazing photographer, and he gave me an idea of how to do it.

So Paul here goes my version. We are looking for 2 couples to photograph. Now I know that with this economy everyone is hurting, so we are all on the same boat. What I am looking for in this contest is a wedding that is going to be out there. Something fun and original that is going to make for amazing memories. To give you a little background about myself I shot quite a few bands and extreme sports so something fast pace is not new to me. To get an idea of what I am looking for, take a look at this video. You will notice the photographer is kinda frozen and not sure of what to do. Trust me that will not happen with me.
