Announcing FREE Engagement Day 2011

Central Park is beginning to bloom, and I’ve been watching through my window in anticipation of one of our biggest events of the year. Christopher Duggan Photography’s 5th Annual Spring FREE Engagement Day is officially on the calendar. Take out your planners and call your friends – this year’s exclusive photo shoot will be held on Sunday, May 22.

Who:
Limited to 10 happy couples only who: are engaged; searching for the right photographer; and getting married in the Tri-State area or seriously considering taking their photographer to their destination wedding. (I love to travel!)

What:
The 5th Annual Spring FREE Engagement Day includes:
-a 30-minute session with me, creating natural, lifestyle portraits
-professional hair and make-up by Julia Dalton-Brush of Brush Beauty to keep couples fresh and feeling their best (please come camera-ready)
-a chance to win a custom designed 20-page LOVEBOOK filled with images from the shoot
-digital negatives of images to use on Facebook, wedding website and other online social media.

Where:
Engagement Day takes place in New York City’s historic Central Park. Exact location to be announced.

When:
Sunday May 22nd, 9am – 6pm

Why:
At Christopher Duggan Photography, we know that hiring a photographer for your wedding is not just a matter of finding someone with a nice portfolio. So our Engagement Day is designed not only to celebrate love, but to offer an opportunity for couples to discover their best-fit photographer.

My wedding clients can look forward to images of caught-moments of shared love, laughter and joy. I create moving imagery that tell each couple’s unique story and offer elegantly-crafted albums showcasing their favorite photographs.

But you should expect much more than that.

Your wedding day goes by in a flash. It’s an emotional high like you’ve never experienced. It’s wonderful. And it’s important to me to create a relaxed, comfortable environment for you, your family and all of your guests. I will never turn your wedding day into my photo shoot. Rather, I go with the flow and create timeless images, capturing everything from start to finish, and create a sense of ease for you, so you can enjoy your wedding day without worrying about anything.


“A big WOW is all I can say. What a treat to have such a gifted professional capture us. And it was a lot of fun. You’re a true artist. You put us at ease right away, and I am thrilled to have these special pictures of us in the Park!” – Julie & Tim

In order to be considered for participation in this year’s FREE Engagement Day, please email me the following information:
- your wedding date
- your wedding location and venue
- your favorite current photo of the two of you
- the brief story of your relationship or your wedding plans

Submissions must be received by Friday, May 13.


This is one of the sweetest stages of your relationship. Participating in our Engagement Day is the perfect way to get to know how I work as well as create relaxed and fun portraits of the two of you during this important time.

Check out some photos from last year’s FREE Engagement Day.

“Christopher Duggan is excellent! We loved the pictures and how he worked with our natural tendencies during the shoot. He made us feel very comfortable -which is quite a feat since both of us hate having our pictures taken!” – Jennifer & Mike

Hi,

I saw your post and wanted to see if you were still offering engagement shoots to kind of test drive your work or what not. I’m not getting married until June 2012 but I wanted to do an engagement shoot early if possible. Was thinking an indoor / outdoor thing maybe starting in central park or some thing but I am open to ideas.

Hi Valerie, FREE Engagement Day is a contest I host in Central Park each year for engaged couples. I do usually charge for engagement sessions – that’s what makes FREE Engagement Day so fun and special!
