*G* WEDDING

Filed under: marry me,wedding — admin at 8:27 am on Thursday, April 1, 2010

Erica & Ian were married on 3.20 @ the Sayre Theatre! It was such a unique locale and a great theme!

I’ve known Ian since he was a little guy in our church. He is a few years younger than my brother and it officially makes me feel old that I photographed his wedding!

Erica & Ian were blessed with a BEAUTIFUL March day for their wedding!

We booked a wedding on 12.11.2010 with Michele – a former family client of mine!

We gave out two free sessions to each couple when you booked at the EXPO – not thinking that we would get anywhere near 8 BOOKINGS! So we gave out 16 free sessions! AHHH! AWESOME!

My voice slowly improved and is almost back to normal! THANK YOU JESUS!

The EXPO this year was AMAZING!

I LOVE NETWORKING and meeting other photogs!

We are also going to do the BEST WESTERN GRAND VICTORIAN BRIDAL EXPO on January 31st of this year – in Sayre, PA. Make sure to come out and see us!

Filed under: at work,bardenisms,just because,marry me,newsworthy,SWAG,wedding — admin at 8:41 am on Sunday, January 10, 2010

Yesterday was AMAZING! We saw about 80 couples and had to send my Aunt L to make more copies – THANKS AUNT L!

We had over 50 brides register for our FREE SWAG! I totally forgot to take my camera AGAIN! TODAY!!!!!!!!

We booked a wedding on 6.19.2010 for KT – thanks again Becky! Cannot wait to get the chance at official bridal portraits!

We booked a wedding on 7.11.2010 with Lael & Mark – such a God appointment! Thanks again guys!

We booked a NYE WEDDING 12.31.2010 with Lindsy & Greg – another amazing God appointment! Thank you so much for the compliments and for trusting us with your day!

I met Danielle Dickerson – a fellow photog that I have been networking with. I said – I know you right – from FACEBOOK! THANK YOU FACEBOOK!!!!

I still had next to no voice – but as answered – I wasn’t in any pain and as soon as I step in the mall my coughing fits cease and I manage! Thank you Jesus!

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE EXPO – I am kind of sad about that – we have had a great time and met so many amazing people!

Let’s see if my voice holds out today!

BRIDAL EXPO – DAY ONE

Filed under: bardenisms,just because,marry me,newsworthy,schedule,SWAG,wedding — admin at 7:23 am on Saturday, January 9, 2010

Yesterday was GREAT! We didn’t see as many couples as we would have liked to but it was a Friday and the weather was a little shady.

We got there at 9.30ish and set up the booth – WHICH LOOKS SO SHARP! I will TRY to remember to take my camera and get some shots!

We had 17 brides register for our FREE SWAG!

We booked a wedding on 9.25.2010 for KT – thanks again Miranda!

We booked another wedding for me on 6.13.2010 – a Sunday wedding at … BELHURST CASTLE! AHHHHHHH!!!! Thanks again so much Elizabeth!!!!!!

The coordinators from the mall told me that our booth looked really sharp and they would make a note in their books for next year about it!

We got home around 10.15ish where I promptly lost my voice – waking up to realize that I have INDEED lost it for sure – I cannot speak above a whisper – thank goodness for KT and her translating!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SUPPORT FROM MY FORMER CLIENTS that stopped by – you guys are AMAZING!

Special thanks to Mandy for bringing her sweetness Leah and letting me yoink her for a bit!

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE TODAY OR TOMORROW!

BRIDAL EXPO – 2010

Filed under: just because,marry me,SWAG,wedding — admin at 5:19 pm on Thursday, January 7, 2010

The BRIDAL EXPO is here again! I cannot believe this is the 2nd year I have been a vendor! SO EXCITING!

My booth is in the same place it was last year – across from Things Remembered and Gertrude Hawk – more toward the BOY SCOUT store.

This year I wanted to sharpen up my booth. I bought three black tablecloths and had my logo attached in hot pink! I got a 52″ square black cloth with my logo and contact information – phone number – website – email – in hot pink.

I have a 24 x 36 canvas of Chris & Clarissa to hang from the backdrop – along with 2 – 16 x 20 canvas prints of Jason & Mandy. I have a 20 X 30 canvas of Meghan to stand on the table with another 16 x 20 of Bill & Cheryl. I am displaying all my albums along with the prints – including my SENIOR portfolio. It is going to look SHARP! I cannot wait!

KT will be there too – with her portfolio and any questions for her brides.

The EXPO runs Friday (10 to 9.30) – Saturday (10 to 9.30) – Sunday (11 to 6). KT and I will be there everyday all day!

I gave a free engagement and free after the wedding session to the mall to raffle off for brides. I will also be giving away one of each at my table – when you sign up with your email.

If you book a wedding and put down a deposit AT the EXPO – you get to choose 2 barden photography GIFT CERTIFICATES – we have them available for family sessions – after the wedding sessions – kiddo sessions – senior sessions – belly sessions!

Stop by and see us!
