No – I have not fallen off the face of the earth – unfortunately – this blog takes FOREVER to upload photos with several steps involved and it is 100 times easier to upload them to facebook!

So – my poor blog gets neglected while I am in the busy season of life!

I have pictures to upload – it’s just finding the time and the access to do it!

ENOUGH EXCUSES – on to the reason for this post!

I want to photograph a “rock the recpetion” dance – so …

If you are a barden photography bride or groom and you would like to hold a rock the reception dance with your wedding party at your reception – please let me know!

There will be free stuff involved for the TWO couples that contact me and decide to participate in this contest.

Most people like to keep the dance a secret – so you can email me @ dcbarden@gmail.com.

THANKS!

Crystal wins the SWAG from the *F* ENGAGEMENT post!

Renata is a news anchor at WENY-TV!

Renata and I went to college together and had a few mutual friends in common.

She had contacted me at the EXPO about doing her engagement photos – YAY!

Renata and Matt suggested Market Street in Corning – which is such a cool place to take pictures!

You may recognize her – from where? The first person to comment and get it right (other than Renata or Matt – wins some SWAG)!

Thanks again Renata & Matt!

I can’t wait to see your wedding pictures!

This was the scene when I arrived for my first engagement shoot on Sunday – BEAUTIFUL SKIES!

Kara won the engagement session from the ARNOT MALL BRIDAL EXPO in January!

This last one was an outtake but I loved it!

Kara – it was so great to meet you and Kyle!

I am bummed that I am already booked on your wedding – but hopefully we will get to do a “trash the dress” session!

Thanks again!
