They say that things that sound too good to be true, usually are. But this is Offbeat Bride, where we do away with "the usual." In the case of our Maine-based sponsor Justine Johnson, her deals are just as good as they sound...

You either have the chance to have a completely free, completely amazing wedding photographer, just for being your completely awesome selves. Just for being you doing "you."

Here's how you can get Justine to shoot your wedding for free, or for a discount...

Want a wedding photography discount?

All you have to do is have your engagement session, wedding, vow renewal, elopement, commitment ceremony, whatever you're calling it, involving one of the things on this list. If you are getting married at Disneyland, in Austin, or the church where they filmed Kill Bill, you can get you an awesome discount or bonus with your wedding photography package!

Even if your location or theme isn't on this list, you should let Justine know about it, because she openly admits that while she knows a LOT of awesome destinations, that list is not all complete.

Want free wedding photography?

Who doesn't!? Here's what you have to do...

THE JUSTINE JOHNSON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY GIVEAWAY:

The winner will receive up to eight hours of wedding day coverage, edited and high-resolution images, and your choice of a free two-hour, add-on shoot (engagement, rehearsal dinner, Day After session, Rock the Dress, boudoir, or anything else).

From now until August 23rd, 2016, you can enter by contacting Justine Johnson directly and tell her the following:

• your names
• wedding date
• wedding location - The wedding can be ANYWHERE in the world (but if it's over a three-hour drive from Portland, Maine, you'll need to cover travel costs)
• and AS MANY AMAZING DETAILS AS YOU CAN!

Justine will contact the winners on August 26th, 2016, so make sure to get your submissions in ASAP.

Why is she doing this?

Here is, what I believe, the reasoning behind Justine's ever-awesome discount offers...

I am in love with offbeat weddings in every way possible. I love the expression of the couples' personalities. I love the focus on the marriage, the connection, the merging of two families, rather than solely the place cards or decorations. I love the fact that offbeat weddings make EVERYONE feel welcome - video game lovers, scientists, social media gurus, teachers, sports fans, cinema buffs, hippies, and sci-fi nerds alike! I don't shy away from any theme, any location, or any fun ideas - I am all about my couples showing their true selves in as joyful a way as possible!

Also... she just loves to travel! She's already shot weddings in Philly, NYC, California, New Orleans, and Puerto Rico. And if you look at her discount list, she can't wait to go back to places she's already been.

If you're planning on putting some personality into your wedding event(s), reach out to Justine and share your awesome details with her. No matter what, though, you should take a look at Justine Johnson's discount list, because
any wedding list that ends with "mechanical bull" is tops in my book, and absolutely deserves an intense perusal.
