Rock the Frock 2012

ROCK THE FROCK 2012 

Rock the Frock is an annual contest, hosted by R. Scott Reynolds Arts Photography & Design Studio. It was created in 2010 to give women the chance to rock their wedding frock one more time. Many women do not have bridal portraits, for whatever reason, and many got married when traditional photos dominated the scene and would like to have something more fun and contemporary now. Participants compete for votes online and the top 3 finalists win a free photo shoot along with prizes donated by local businesses and artists. The overall winner, determined by a panel of judges, will be featured on the cover of Down Home Magazine. (See photos from last year's Rock the Frock shoots on the RSRA website.)

The contest is free to enter and gives regular girls a chance to do a fun, creative photo shoot, wearing their wedding gown. The past winners include a teacher and a nurse and participants include college students, stay at home moms, bartenders, journalists, sales consultants and members of the military. Rock the Frock is open to any woman who has been married (even if you are now divorced...helloooo Trash the Dress session!!), can still wear her wedding gown and can do a photo shoot in the required time frame. Women of all ages are eligible to enter the contest. Even though a majority of contestants are newlyweds, many women enter to celebrate a milestone anniversary or just because they can still fit in their dress after many years! One of last year's finalists had been married almost 10 years!


Entries are accepted from 8am on Sunday January 8 until 6pm on Wednesday, January 11. Email your photo (in jpeg format) and your name, wedding date and a few lines about yourself, why you entered and any ideas or locations you have in mind for your shoot.

Online voting will be done on the RSRA website under Rock the Frock (www.rsraphoto.com/rockthefrock) Voting begins on Thursday, January 12 at 10am and ends on Sunday, January 15 at midnight. Finalists will be announced on Monday, January 16.


The contest is featured in Down Home Magazine annually, with the winner being featured on the cover of the Bridal & Prom Issue and an article about the contestants with photos from their shoots.
