I don’t like to call photography WORK – because I don’t feel like I am going to work when I take pictures – nonetheless – Aunt L caught an image of me at *work* that I wanted to share …

These little girls had no problem being my models for the night!

Jared is the one that manages this website – THANKS JARED – he uploads the photos – changes my specials – pretty much everything except these blogs!

This morning it was brought to my attention that there were some photos in my WITH THIS RING gallery that were not barden photography. I don’t know how they got there – like I said – Jared uploads the photos – I don’t even know where to start!

I checked them out and indeed they were from the Yoder wedding but not mine. Jared had taken some of Indica’s photos off her website and added her name on them – but only some of them. He then put those pictures up on FACEBOOK – every picture that he put up on FBOOK of the wedding – some of mine – but most of Indica’s ended up on my gallery page.

Jared has to go to a seperate page and upload them to my website – which he didn’t do – cus they weren’t mine – obviously!

So – if you had seen the gallery and any photos of the Yoder wedding – the first few rows of pictures in the album – some were mine – but most were not.

I apologize greatly for this – I would never try to play off someone else’s photography as my own. They are no longer up there – but if it happens again – for some strange reason – please let me know!

The past few days have kicked my butt – with photography issues and misunderstandings and misinterpretations …

So I’m just giving satan a warning – BACK OFF!

barden photography is giving away a FREE SESSION for brides!

TRASH THE DRESS – it’s about taking your wedding dress – post-wedding – and getting dirty!

I would love to shoot some at the train station in Wellsboro – so many run down buildings and awesome shots!

THE FIRST BRIDE TO CONTACT ME – gets a FREE TRASH THE DRESS SESSION!

Layne’s dress – the night before the wedding …

A beautiful dress for a beautiful bride!

Thursday afternoon, after getting the rental car and getting all the packing ready – we headed out to Zach and Layne’s – we chilled out a bit and went over to the hotel where Zach’s sister and her family was staying. Zach and Layne were trying to get some last minute details in order – so we got pizza and wings to enjoy once everyone returned!

We crashed Thursday night and got up early Friday morning to get some other tasks done and out of the way – Jared and I took a walk on the beach – more pictures to come later – and talked about the shock of being pregnant and how excited we both were. God has such perfect timing!

We went to lunch at a BBQ joint – mmmmmmm ribs – and then I went shopping with Layne and Tiffany to get some other last minute things – final ring fitting – earrings – flowers. I made the boutonnieres while Layne and Tiffany made the bouquets for the girls. 

We made it back in time to change and head to the rehearsal and dinner! The girls went out – asking me to go – but I don’t really go out anymore – if I ever really did – and I am so tired lately and can barely make it past 9 PM let alone getting ready to go out at 12. Christy and I got a hotel room for the night – right on the beach! 

Layne brought her wedding dress to hang out in our room for the night – pictures to come later – and I just had to take some shots while the sun rose over the beach the next morning!

In the morning we got around and went to the nail salon – meeting Indica – the photographer for the wedding. I got short tips on my nails – even though they cut the heck out of my fingers. I haven’t had my nails done since my own wedding – so it was nice! They are still on too!

I went back to the hotel with Indica and Christy – getting another hotel room for the night – switching Layne’s dress to the reception site and grabbing some lunch. 

Jared grew up with Dave, Dan, and Zach – being a really close group of friends. Christy is married to Dave – and is such a sweetheart! We had a great lunch and Indica joined us – it was so nice to sit outside and have lunch in FEBRUARY! I rode back to the reception site with Indica to grab some shots of the girls getting ready – the guys before the ceremony – then before you know it – the wedding was set to begin!

Jared took these shots with my camera while I was trying to set up the video …

Mindy is the mother-of-the-groom and a kindred spirit! I noticed that her necklace was on backwards so I was fixing it for her!

Christy and Dave …

Zach – the groom himself …

Dan and Dave …

I’ll post more about the wedding and reception once I get those pictures up!

I also have TONS of pictures to blog about from the wedding – but I am waiting to get my NEW COMPUTER and photoshop installed to showcase them!

I think I might get some AWESOME actions that go along with PHOTOSHOP too!

The Morning Times in Sayre has a BRIDAL SECTION each year – I decided to advertise this year!

At the BRIDAL EXPO – one of the women from the paper told me about the chance and I jumped on it!

My ad is an 1/8 of a page using Julie and Tyler – my poster children – alongside my contact information – it looks great!

The BRIDAL SECTION is delivered with the Morning Times but can be picked up throughout the year at the Morning Times in Sayre!

Right now I have 19 weddings booked for 2009 – my goal is 24 – GOD IS SO GOOD!

Thanks to barden photography brides – we made the BEST OF 2008 @ ONEWED.COM!
