Well … the last few days have been a blur … but that’s usually the case when you are running to and fro!! I want to thank you all for your prayers, comments, and your tips on photography! It’s been a blessing!
… and now, onto the weekend update:
Friday dawned bright and clear … we had breakfast here, and then, had to be at the church to set up the video cameras at 2:00PM … the rehearsal started at 4:00PM which gave Ian plenty of time to do that, while I ‘tested’ out the camera. It was an older church and the windows in it were so beautiful (some pics below) … the lighting in there wasn’t the best for it though … but I did the best I could with the still photography … haven’t seen it yet, but I’m sure he did great with the video!
The rehearsal went for quite awhile … the Pastor wanted everything timed just right with the music, and they were having trouble with the sound system … they finally figured out that a little boy had gotten in the sound booth, and pushed some buttons when we were all busy with other things!
And speaking of which, there were so many cute children there that night! I got a couple of photos of the Pastor’s children … they were so photogenic! We were anxious to see how the rehearsal photos turned out … and I’m embarrassed to say, that after we uploaded them … we noticed that a few came out okay, but when you looked at the others, you felt like your vision was blurred!
Needless to say, I was so very disappointed!
As most of you know, the digital cameras have the screen on back so you can see your photo right after you take it, and delete it if it’s not good … well, they sure looked fine to both of us … but after uploading them to the computer, that’s when we noticed the ‘blurred vision’!! 
Since then, I’ve done a lot of deleting! The bride & groom were not concerned about it at all … and remember, I’m just getting ‘my feet wet’ here! I’m also thankful that there were bridesmaids taking pictures and, of course, Ian videotaped the rehearsal! I know he got some good footage to edit with the video of the wedding.
The wedding on Saturday went very well … Ian did take most of the still photos then … with the video cameras being set to run on their own, he was more than willing to work the camera for the still shots … but I did get a chance to take a few, as well! I had my ’helper’ with me, and I’ll share a photo of her soon. I am thankful Ian did most of it, as I didn’t want to have them end up like the night before! I’m sure it was a setting that I have yet to learn!
I’ll share more as we get through the photos. We took over 800 … so I’m sure we’ll get some good ones. Tomorrow, we’ll upload that batch! In the meantime, I’ve posted just a few of the ones I’ve worked on so far from the rehearsal, none of the bride & groom, or wedding party yet … just some shots of the church, and children, before everyone else got there Friday night … and, like I said, most of them from the rehearsal did not turn out, and these could be so much better … tomorrow we’ll know about the ones from the wedding! Stay tuned!
I hope you’ve all had a good weekend! Yesterday, we went to church, then Ian started feeling like he was coming down with a cold/flu … so we cut our afternoon short, and we brought him home. I’m hoping he gets better soon … it would be no fun if he was sick while here … and he has some plans with his friends this week! We are also expecting a winter storm … again!! Who knows if we’ll get snow, ice, or both?!! I’ll be visiting around today … catching up on your sites, while I’m taking care of Ian … I think I’m going to make a big pot of homemade chicken soup for him today! It’s not necessarily his favorite, but he’s willing to eat it to feel better! You know, they say that the best thing for the cold or flu, is Mom’s Homemade Chicken Soup!! Anything exciting happen at your house this weekend?!

I have the same problem with my camera! It’s so frusterating!
I just love the rose….our meeting went so well with the ES…….I was so very proud of Amy…she answered all her questions and was very animated….
She said she was scared but she really came thru. I was told I was very organized….LOL….that just cracks me up…Me organized…I guess when it comes to school I really wanted to be…now if I can just organized my pantry like I want ………..:eek:
I am just so not a night owl but I understand that some people do their best work then…LOL YOu were also not the only one up at that hour… Carolyn was also leaving me a comment from Ohio in the wee hours. RYC: Oh yes…the sun is shining and I am sitting in it!!!! Praise God!
Stopping by to leave you some love!

Oh my goodness! if it is 10 AM here it must be like 2 or three AM there…what are you doing up and on the computer??????? LOL!
Great photos! I hope he feels better soon.
My dad preached at a church just outside of Tell City, IN that was built like that. It has been added to and has lost some of its original design. There is a church in Dugger, IN where one of my uncles use to preach that has a simular design . Kind of brings back some good memories!
I look forward to seeing more! :goodjob:
The pictues are wonderful. What at talent you have! I look forward to seeing the weddings ones too. May you have a blessed week and prayers that Ian feels better soon. I’m not a chicken soup lover either, but like Ian, I’ll eat it if it makes me feel better. Blessings, Jill

Deborah,
Those pictures are beautiful! The church is lovely. The kids are cute and I swear I can smell those roses! You all did an excellent job! :wave:
Those pics are beautiful! Glad you had a good weekend. I hope Ian feels better!! Take care…
I really love the pictures you did take! I look forward to seeing more. ** Hope Ian doesn’t have to struggle with a cold! While we were in America, someone recommended ZICAM to me, so I bought some. I have felt sneezy and like I might be coming down with something a couple of times, and used this product. I really do think it helped me turn the corner! I know everybody is different. My Mom said she tried it and it did nothing for her. I am glad I got it, though. Maybe if you get a chance, you can check it out.** My weekend was pretty uneventful. We did call Abby, and she is not much better so is going back to the clinic today. I will call tonight and see what the news is. Blessings!
Hi! Love the rose photo..I think it is good that the photos for the rehearsal were the blurry ones…then you had the chance to fix it before the actual wedding ones! Have a good week!
:sunny:Good Morning Sweet Deborah! Hope Ian doesn’t get this nasty cold that everyone has been through at my house! Pump the Alka Selzer Plus Cold Meds! That’s what helped me get over mine! DH is still getting over his and Jess, too!……….I like the couple of photos so far!……….The Little Girl has such a Sweet smile!……….I will be praying for you all and Ian’s cold! Hope you have a Great Day! And know you are loved here in MO!………..In Christ’s Love……Monic:heartbeat:
