Spring 2010 Charity Engagement Shootout at the Sunset Restaurant in Malibu

Jen — Thu, 13 May 2010 04:20:30 +0000

I sit here 24 hours after the event, legs sore, voice horse, and heart racing, still, with excitement. I think I still have adrenaline in my system. As tired as I was last night when I got home, I couldn’t help myself. I had to see the photos. It is like Christmas morning for me. I love seeing what I got! The Charity Engagement Shootout at the Sunset Restaurant in Malibu was, by all accounts, a HUGE success. If you missed it, believe me, you missed out! Some couples walked away with 6 raffle items. And these were no joke raffle items. Everything from full free engagement sessions, to $100 gift certificate to the Sunset, to an iPod Shuffle, to custom designed guest signing books, to a $600 couture cocktail dress, to free hair and makeup trials, to a $1,200 logo design. And this is the short list of over 80 raffle items. I was shocked at the generosity of the photographers and vendors. One of the specialists at the show was so overwhelmed with the generosity that he actually donated $250 cash in honor of one of the guests. We are still tallying donations as several guests, not knowing what they were actually getting into with this event, have now asked how they can donate more. oSo if you want in on the action, please shoot me an email and I will give you details on how to donate. These couples walked away with well OVER $1,500 in gifts and free photography. And the event was FREE!!! I kind of feel bad for the people who decided not to come for whatever reason. It was one of the best events I have ever done and I am so excited to announce the Fall session for Thursday November 4th. This is a tentative date pending, so check back with me soon or get on my mailing list so you know when it is coming. The best part about the event: I got to shoot too! I hope to book some of the people I worked with. Here is a preview of some of my shots from the day.

British Song Writer Sy Rhys Kaye and Celebrity Camille Guaty

Nicole Turner & Daniel Pichardo

Jessica Saeheng & Garrett Ho

Sonia Elizabeth Corella & Luis Armando Sanchez

Erik and Julie

Jen — Wed, 12 May 2010 13:58:06 +0000

Julie and Erik met at Hermosa beach one day when he was biking by and she was stumbling out of the Poopdeck. She noticed him and said “Hey cute boy” as he road by and that is when their love affair began. I can’t wait to participate in their wedding this June!

Charity Engagement Shootout

Jen — Tue, 04 May 2010 00:31:28 +0000

CHARITY ENGAGEMENT SHOOTOUT

Get in on this once in a lifetime chance to get some great photography of you and your fiance from multiple wedding photographers! Absolutely Free!

When: Tuesday, May 11th from 2:30-7:30pm (two sessions)
Where: The Sunset Restaurant in Malibu
What: Get photographed at no cost with some extraordinary photographers (up to 5 shooters will work with you for 15 minutes each.)
You Get: All your files from each photographer at no cost! A donation of any size to LETMESAIL will be encouraged. http://www.letmesail.org
The Catch: There is none! You get to test drive some really great shooters BEFORE you hire one with no strings attached.
Donate: If you would like to make a donation in honor of this event and will not be able to attend, please email Jen at jen@jenosullivan.com

Great Swag Bag included! There will also be some great makeup artists there for you to test drive for touch-ups, lash applications, and mini consults! Oh yes, this is going to be one event NOT to miss!

RULES:
1. You must be engaged to be married with an actual date set.
2. You cannot have a photographer already booked for your wedding. Sorry this may seem like a catch but really this event is just for those who need to find a photographer. You wouldn’t do a speed dating event if you were already in a relationship. If you really want to come and already have a shooter for your wedding, please contact me. There are other great things to do like get your makeup done and eat cake. And, you never know, with 50 photographers there is bound to be a few hanging around who would love to photograph you.
3. In order to attend, you will need to register with Jen. There is limited space so please get your RSVP in soon to jen@jenosullivan.com

WHY:
I am often asked why I do these shootouts. There are two reasons. One, because I love to teach and I started doing them as workshops for up and coming photographers. Two, because photographers are notoriously competitive with each other, holding their contacts and trade secrets close to their vest. I have decided to flip the whole game on it’s head. I am giving 50 photographers a shot at booking MY leeds all in the name of charity. I work hard for my contacts but also know that ultimately people hire me for me so why not share the love and make some money for a great organization. This is match making at it’s finest! Here is how it works. 50 photographers get to work with up to 6 pre-matched potential clients out of 50 engaged couples. They are matched based on style, budget, and date availability. Couples get the opportunity to test drive 6 shooters AND they get to keep their image files after the shoot with no strings attached. Nobody pays a dime, unless they wish to donate to my charity. Something like this would go for a minimum of $1,500 to work with this many shooters and get your files. My goal: raise as much money for the charity, work with some wonderful people in the industry, and hopefully match up some couple’s to their future wedding photographer. I will be shooting too, so I hope to meet some potential future brides and grooms as well.

The charity is LETMESAIL, an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of the disabled through social and educational events. These people are about the same age as the engaged couples, but lead a very different life. They have movie nights, go on camping trips, get job training, and are extremely happy people however are physically and mentally disabled. LETMESAIL helps them to sail. It is perfectly fitting that I am hosting the event at one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Malibu on the beach at The Sunset Restaurant.

There are many levels of participation if you are interested. Couples, Photographers, Wedding Specialists, Donors, Sponsors, Media. If you are any of these people and would like to be involved, please shoot me an email or give me a call. We would love to have you! jen@jenosullivan.com 310-494-6547
