With engagements happening everywhere you look it is the perfect time for a competition celebrating what can often be one of the most momentous times of life!

Engagement photo-shoots are nothing new. They’re a wonderful way to celebrate your engagement and relax with your photographer. But the styling? Well that’s a little added extra, a little something special to make it come to life. The photo shoots I love best are when a couple has included elements that really showcase who they are, what they love and how they came to be.

Sydney photographer Nerida from Nerida McMurray Photography has teamed up with event stylist Jessica from Oscar & Ruby to bring to life one very special Polka Dot Bride reader’s engagement session!

The duo want to create a personal engagement shoot, so not only do you get to meet with the team who will style and photograph you, but you’ll have it planned so it’s personalised to you (if you love motorbikes and heavy metal? They’re up for that! If you’re a couple who stays at home and watches funny movies? That’s perfect!)

The prize includes:

Oscar & Ruby

– Initial meeting with the couple to discuss ideas/concepts/locations (along with Nerida)

– Sourcing of props and styling elements

– Cost of flowers and styling elements (to the value of $200)

– Set up and styling of shoot on the day

Approx value $1000
