I wish I could take credit for thinking this up but the good folks in Cleveland beat me to it.
I want to organize a contest for one lucky couple to have their wedding photographed by eight or more of North Carolina's top wedding photographers. The idea is that the couple would take the money that they were planning on spending on a single photographer ($1000 minimum) and donate it to the American Cancer Society. Each photographer would donate his or her services to the couple.
Each photographer would spend approximately two hours covering a portion of the wedding day. Some photographers may also chose to shoot an engagement session or bridal session instead. One photographer (probably me) would spend the entire day with the couple just to insure that nothing was missed. Each photographer would process their work and send the high resolution photos to the Bride and Groom on a CD or DVD. The couple could use these images to have their own prints made or they could order prints directly from the individual photographer if they'd like.
The couple would be selected by writing a brief essay on why they should be considered for this.
I hope to get this idea launched in the near future with my fellow wedding photographers. Stay tuned!!

Hi Jim, Great work. You can count me in on the idea. I do photo/video that supports the Chordoma Foundation and Duke Cancer Center. (also weddings!) Can we go local with the Cancer funding? Joe - Photographer in Chapel Hill
What a cool idea! I definitely would enter myself in this contest if it were in time for my wedding :) Both my fiance and I have family members who have suffered from cancer so this would be such a great opportunity for us.
