Saturday was the first wedding of wedding season this year!

The groom Tony and I have been friends since 6th grade!

Brelin and I had only met once prior to the wedding day – I love her – she is so sweet and fits Tony perfectly.

COGNAC

So my sister had a slight change in color plans for the wedding – she is still using the truffle with the pool – but she is throwing in the cognac dress too!

I am VERY excited!

Vanessa is going to be in the truffle with the other two bridesmaids in pool and me in the cognac – which is the dress I tried on in the store!

img_93911

THIS is my dress for the wedding – this dress is about 190 usually but was on sale for 150 – since the cognac color is being discontinued this dress is on sale for 80! AWESOME!

We are gonna go shopping for wedding invites soon!

HOW I WOULD LOVE TO BE A WEDDING PLANNER!

WEDDING SEASON STARTS

Filed under: marry me,wedding — admin at 3:49 pm on Wednesday, April 29, 2009

I didn’t know how the month of April would be with just quitting Phoenix and finding enough to keep me busy. Between taking Schrute for walks – dishes – laundry – baseball games – and the work for Phoenix that I have – I have been able to keep very busy.

I also haven’t watched TV hardly at during the day – something I am quite proud about!

I have listened to Taylor Swift and Elton John enough to know the songs by heart – but no TV!

Today I had a photo shoot in Sunbury for promotional photos – tonight I have a little league game to take shots at for a parent – then the real fun begins!

Friday afternoon Jared and I are going to a concert in Williampsort – Natalie Stovall – the country artist who is using my photo (STILL SO COOL)!

Saturday I have a wedding in Athens with the reception in Elmira – Tony (a dear middle and high school friend) is marrying a sweet girl Bre – SO EXCITED FOR THIS WEDDING – KT is coming with me to second shoot and get some ideas for her wedding pictures in July!

Sunday I have a wedding at Belhurst Castle in Geneva NY – the groom and I went to college together – Mary Love is my second shooter – SO MUCH FUN!

I have two engagement sessions so far in May – both on Market Street in Corning!

The winner of my engagement drawing at the Arnot Mall BRIDAL EXPO will also be making an appt. for May!

I have a wedding in Troy on the 30th – a wedding that I have been waiting to do for about a year now – the lovely Jenna V will be my assistant at that wedding!

The 31st – a small wedding where I am just coming to take some formal (and informal) bridal portraits after the ceremony and before the reception. The bride and I went to church together when I was in early middle school and found eachother on FACEBOOK this week – Aunt L was our youth group leader then so she is coming with me to shoot some and just to see Peggy!

I still have 3 clinics to schedule photos with – we have the GREAT AMERICAN BAKE SALE on the 9th – and KT has a shower on the 23rd! It will be a BUSY MONTH!

I DO

I have been going back through my old weddings and editing them with my new lovely PHOTOSHOP!

I read earlier this morning that “Photoshop isn’t a way to make a bad photo good, it’s a way to make a good photo BETTER!”

WITH THIS RING

Filed under: marry me,wedding — admin at 7:25 am on Friday, April 24, 2009

I spent most of yesterday playing in PHOTOSHOP and trying to figure it out.

I took some images from the Slater wedding in September to play around with.

WEEKEND

Filed under: baby barden,bardenisms,family,marry me,schrute,SWAG,wedding — admin at 8:20 am on Monday, April 20, 2009

We went to my parents this weekend – I had a birthday party and four year pictures planned but the party ended up being a problem with photos and releases so we postponed the four year shoot for a few weeks.

Instead – I had a meeting with a wedding client – referred by the one and only Jenna V – who keeps me in business!

I booked the *T* wedding for 12.19.2009! Thanks again!

Jenna also won ANOTHER free photo session for a referral that booked!

I stopped at Peebles and got a few cute tops for weddings for the summer – Peebles is way too expensive but I love the clearance!

Jared finished The Shack and I started it – he loved it and I am still on the fence.

Schrute hung out with Jared and my parents on Saturday while I was meeting and shopping. I snapped these once I got home …

He is such a handsome boy!

I spent most of the weekend crying – I needed to be with my parents and talk to them about what has happened in our lives and why – of course there are no answers – but it was nice to be with them.

We went wedding dress shopping for my sister – she is getting married 9.12.2009 – mostly because it is the only fall date I have open other than Labor Day – but I will post those in a separate entry …
