    Grafton Ghost Town Pre Wedding {Cassidy + Aaron}

    March 16, 2015

    I have photographed Cassidy many times over the years and have loved working with her and Aaron as a couple. We did their engagement photography session outside of Zion for a beautiful Zion overlook engagement session. These two are just so much fun! They are an absolute joy to be around. In their case opposites did not attract. They are both so funny, and fun, and beautiful and are all around genuinely kind and caring people. Grafton was such a special place for their pre wedding photography session. Cassidy’s family lived in the Grafton ghost town before it was a ghost town.…

    Southern Utah Snow Bridal {Sammy + Kyle}

    March 1, 2015

    If you are in Southern Utah but you really want to capture the essence of winter for your engagement or wedging photos there really is no better spot then Pine Valley to do pictures! I just love the amazing mountains, pine trees and landscape up there. We ran into some perfectly cloudy skies for Sammy and Kyle’s bridal photos which just added to the overall feel of the wintery scene. Bridal photos in the snow are just so beautiful and fun. I alway recommend that my brides wear a warm pair of boots and thermals under their dress if at…

    St George LDS Temple Bridal Photos {Mckell+Trumbull}

    January 10, 2015

    A wedding at the St George LDS Temple is an important event Southern Utah. For over a hundred and fifty years couples have come from all around the wold to be married for time and all eternity within its walls.  Mckell and Trumbull didn’t have to make an long trek to come to the temple but it makes it no less important to them. They are such a fun and beautiful couple and I have really enjoyed getting to work with them over the planning and adventure of their wedding. St George is such an amazing and beautiful location for a…

    Amazing Snow Canyon Bridal {Abby+Mike}

    January 5, 2015

    There is not time of year more beautiful in Southern Utah then the fall for wedding photos. At least that is the way felt after photographing this beautiful session with this gorgeous couple. Not so long ago I had the chance to work with Abby and Mike for their engagement photos in Southern Utah. Neither of them live in the area but made the trip for both their engagements and their bridal photos. The wild flowers growing all over the ground is such an amazing contrast to the sage brush, black lava rock and petrified sand dunes of Snow Canyon…

    Zion National Park Pre Wedding {Kaitlyn+Sean}

    December 30, 2014

    If you are thinking about having a wedding in Zion National Park you really need not think about it any more. I mean is there anyplace on earth as stunning as Zion?! While there are so many wonderful national parks I really am partial to how awe inspiring Zion is for a wedding! Kaitlyn and Sean are two of the kindest and most beautiful people I have had the extreme pleasure to work with. Words can’t describe just how special these two are and how happy I am for them. The backdrop for their pre wedding photos in Zion was…

    Alpine Loop Bridal Photos {Joelle+Kyle}

    December 7, 2014

    Driving up the alpine loop in the fall for wedding related photos is absolutely stunning. I had the amazing chance to photograph Joelle and Kyle at Tibble Fork Reservoir in Utah off of the Alpine Loop. The fall colors were in full force and the backdrop was absolutely stunning. I had the opportunity to do their engagement photography in Southern Utah a few months earlier and loved working with them then. They have such a fun and carefree style and attitude about them. They are an absolutely beautiful couple and I loved their fresh style. There isn’t a bad time…

    Aspen Meadows Pre Wedding {Oriana+Phillip}

    November 22, 2014

    I always love photographing couples at new and beautiful locations. This amazing venue outside of Kamas Utah was stunning. Its called Aspen Grove at Wolf Creek. It is absolutely stunning and is the venue for Oriana and Phillips wedding later this year. Nestled in the hills of aspen forest lies the beautiful log cabin inspired three story venue. The only thing that was more beautiful then this location was the stunning couple. Oriana’s wedding dress which she found in Seattle Washington was the perfect gown with Gatsby inspired art deco cues. The beautiful bouquet and floral headpiece by Blom Floral…

    Park City Summer Groomal {Natalie+Taylor}

    November 17, 2014

    Photographing beautiful couples like Natalie and Taylor in amazing places like Park City Utah is what I live for! We scheduled Natalie and Taylor’s bridal photography session in the morning and I love the soft dynamic light in these photos. Natalie and Taylor live near Salt Lake City so making the quick trip out to the McPolin Farm in Park City was ideal. They wanted the nature and the mountains to be an integral part of their pre wedding photography. As a Photographer it is often my job to judge the best locations to photograph a session depending on the…

    Zion National Park Pre Wedding Teaser

    October 30, 2014

    Kaitlyn and Sean are such an amazing couple. They are absolutely so amazing to work with and to be around. I couldn’t have asked for a better photo session with these two. Lilac Flora did a brilliant job with the wonderful bouquet and headpiece and I loved Kaitlyn’s beautiful BHLDN Dress. Sean looked fantastic as well in his blue suit. The smiles on these two are just infectious. I loved photographing their engagement photos in Salt Lake City earlier this year and have really enjoyed getting to know them. Zion is such a beautiful place for a wedding and Im…

    Sand Hallow Beach Bridal { Kylee + Garrett }

    August 23, 2014

    Photographing Kylee and Garrett for this feature in Southern Utah Bride Magazine was such a blast. As always Forevermore Events did such an amazing job with the setup! Bloomers did fantastic floral and Cupcakes by Julie the beautiful cakes. The Painted Pony, one of my favorite restaurants in St George was kind enough to provide the beautiful food for the shoot. Kylee and Garrett were married soon after this shoot and I was so happy to shoot their wedding and their engagement photos and temple bridal photos as well. They are an incredible couple and are so amazing to work with! Growing up…

    August 3, 2014

    Im always looking for new fun places to photograph couples around Southern Utah. On a recent hike I came across this beautiful spot for Kashae and Aaron’s Bridal session. I loved photographing this amazing couple for their Southern Utah Desert Engagements and was really looking forward to photographing their bridal session. We had such a fantastic time. I loved Kashae’s amazing lace dress and beautiful floral crown and bouquet by Bloomers Flowers. Aaron’s tailored suit was a perfect complement.

    Snow Canyon Groomal {Mikele + Chris}

    May 27, 2014

    Its no secret that Snow Canyon is one of the most beautiful State Parks in Utah. This Groomal session with Mikele and Chris was one of my favorites. I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Mikele and Chris’s Engagement photos in St George and absolutely love working with these two. They live in Cedar City and made the trip down for this wonderful session. They are a lot of fun and are both so great to be around. I love the color and texture of Snow Canyon. It has such wonderful diversity for doing photography. Im looking forward to photographing…
