I was <i>stalking <\/i>the blog nearly every day as the winner would be chosen randomly from the comments. There were still only 5 commenters (I was the 5th) so I figured we had a 20% chance at it, which isn&#8217;t all that high. <\/p>\n<p>The contest ended last night at midnight, Vegas time, so I went to sleep hoping I&#8217;d wake up to find out that I&#8217;d won. Y&#8217;all might know how addicted to my Blackberry I am. I check email and twitter constantly. Well, when back pain woke me at 5am, I checked it, scrolling quickly through the emails until I saw it&#8230;<br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>&#8220;Congratulations &#8211; You&#8217;re the winner of the photo contest&#8221;<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I started grinning and it took me a while to fall back to sleep. I started telling Steve we&#8217;d won, but, well, it was 5am and he was dead asleep. This morning, there was a tweet about it pointing to Juliet&#8217;s <b><a href=\"http:\/\/thevegasweddingplanner.com\/2010\/02\/09\/winner-lifestyle-portrait-session-giveaway\/\">blog post<\/a><\/b>. Yeah, I totally retweeted it.<\/p>\n<p>Even before we won, I was in touch with the photographer, Jessie of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emericphotography.com\/\"><b>Emeric Photography &amp; Design<\/b><\/a>, and really can&#8217;t wait to work with her and her husband. I told her we&#8217;d already booked our wedding photographer, but if we&#8217;d won, I&#8217;d love to do a day after session. It looks like we get to after all! I&#8217;m thinking day after, possibly trash the dress only because I desperately want to go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neonmuseum.org\/the-boneyard.html\"><b>Neon Boneyard<\/b><\/a> or possibly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redrockcanyonlv.org\/\"><b>Red Rocks Canyon<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i><b>Prize package:<\/b><br \/>* Lifestyle Portrait Session (which can be used for Engagement, Trash the Dress, Day After Session, Anniversary, etc&#8230;)<br \/>* 3 hours of photography time<br \/>* Online photo gallery to share with family &amp; friends<br \/>* High resolution disk with choice of 45 print-ready images (printable up to 8\u00d710) A print release will also be included.<br \/>* Photo session is valid only in Las Vegas<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, a few weeks ago, I entered a giveaway, this giveaway, on the Green Orchid Events blog to win a photography session in Vegas.
