Our sponsor Smitten Chickens is not just an awesomely adorable name: this husband and wife team have some awesome biz cred. Sarah worked as a performance photographer, a retouching producer, and a photo and video producer before focusing on portrait and wedding photography. She's been shooting since childhood, has a degree in commercial photography, and has been photographing weddings since 2007. Chris works in advertising, reality TV, and documentaries as a film and video editor. He started shooting weddings in 2012, when he and Sarah were engaged.

(Ooh, in addition to wedding photography and videography, they have an indie comic book company where they produce horror, sci-fi, and action comics. But more on their nerd cred later...)

Smitten Chickens shoots weddings and elopements in NYC, and anywhere in the USA for one flat rate. But if you're quick enough, you may be able to get them at a discount as well. Let's talk about their various discounts, and the various ways that these Smitten Chickens rock our world...

Smitten Chickens believes in wedding photography without prejudice

The way that Sarah and Chris see it, their job is to capture memories you can keep forever... their job is not to judge you, your guests, or your wedding. Why? Because Sarah and Chris are self-proclaimed "giant nerds." So they love working with people who aren't afraid to let their quirks show. They love comic books, horror film, sci-fi, fantasy, heavy metal, and they also really love tattoos, and love when people have awesome ink they don't want to hide. In fact, if you're incorporating any of those elements into your wedding, Smitten Chickens want to be involved. They're offering $100 off wedding photography to people happy to show off their tattoos, and to people incorporating nerdy elements into their wedding.

Smitten Chickens will make you look good, without making you feel stressed

Chris and Sarah's working style is influenced by their time in film, advertising, and documentaries, so they'll direct people and move things around if it will make the photos or footage better, and they prepare in advance with detailed timelines and shot lists. You can rest assured they've got everything visual under control, so you can focus on experiencing every moment as it happens - no awkward posing and fake smiles.

Smitten Chickens has discounts galore

Besides the discount mentioned above for people incorporating offbeat elements in their wedding (sci-fi, fantasy, comic books, literature, heavy metal) or people who are tattooed and not covering it on their wedding day, here are even more opportunities for you to score a Smitten Chickens deal...
