    St George Utah Temple Wedding {Jaycee+Tyler}

    July 18, 2017

    St George Temple Wedding The Lds Temple in St George is one of the oldest and most beautiful. Jayceee and Tyler are both from Southern Utah and knew that they wanted to have a St George temple wedding. Photographing temple weddings is different from that of a traditional wedding. As the photographer, I am not permitted to photograph the ceremony itself. I always love that moment though, when the couple comes out of the temple. They are newly married and the joy and excitement is palpable. Jaycee and Tyler have been a couple since high school, and their chemistry is…

    Red Rock Snow Canyon Engagements {Chantelle+Macrae}

    July 4, 2017

    St George Utah Engagement Photos I had such a fantastic time photographing Chantelle and Macrae’s red rock Snow Canyon engagement photos! I love red rock engagement photo sessions, and this one absolutely didn’t disappoint. The stunning natural scenery around St George makes it an amazing city. Some of the better known features are the redrock and mesas. Engagement photos in Snow Canyon are some of my favorites. For the first part of Chantelle and Macrae’s engagement photography session, we explored the white rocks. The white rock area of Snow Canyon is one of my favorites. We had amazing light and…

    Snow Canyon Utah Engagement Photos {Chantelle+Macrae}

    June 27, 2017

    St George Engagement Photographer Chantelle & Macrae are both from Southern Utah and knew they wanted their engagement photos in Snow Canyon. I always love photographing red rock engagement photos. Snow Canyon with its stunning sandstone cliffs is the perfect spot for an afternoon engagement photo session. Chantelle and Macrae have such awesome personalities. They are so fun to photograph and are obviously a stunning couple. I loved Chantelle’s red dress that she wore for the second half of her photos. We started their photos in the white rock area of Snow Canyon, which is always a beautiful spot. I love…

    Provo Engagement in the Snow {Carol Ann+Austin}

    April 24, 2017

    Provo Wedding Photographer Utah Valley Snow Engagement Photos I travel very often to the Provo and Utah Valley area for wedding and engagement photos. I always enjoy photographing couples in Provo, especially in beautiful snowy weather like Carol Ann and Austin had. Provo Snow Engagement Photos are always a great time! The snow was falling, and because it was a cloudy day, it wasn’t as cold as it could have been. I already blogged Carol Ann and Austin’s Payson Temple Wedding, and was so slammed that I forgot to blog their engagements and bridals. Im excited to be sharing them with…

    Entrada at Snow Canyon Pre Wedding {Amanda+Mason}

    April 17, 2017

    Southern Utah Wedding Photographer Entrada Wedding Entrada at Snow Canyon is one of the top wedding venues in St George. An Entrada Wedding is always a wonderful time! I absolutely love photographing weddings at Entrada. The Unique landscape with its fields of black lava, mixed with the green grass of the course and Red rock of Snow Canyon are breathtaking. When Amanda and Mason mentioned wanting to do their pre wedding bridals at Entrada, I was thrilled. I love the dry and arid lava rock intermingled with the lush green of the golf course. With Snow Canyon as a backdrop, this…

    St George Wedding Photographer Southern Utah Engagement Photos I always love photographing couples in St George. It is such a beautiful area. Its full of the obvious red rock and sandstone cliffs, but also has hidden gems like the amazing trees and backdrops of this fun engagement session. A golf course engagement photos  session in Southern Utah is always a good idea. Ellen and Erik hired me to photograph their engagement session, and Im so glad they did. Southern Utah is beyond beautiful, and so is this couple! We had such a fantastic time and ended up with some really…

    Pine Valley Snow Pre Wedding {Jaycee+Tyler}

    March 17, 2017

    Utah Wedding Photographer Pine Valley Snow Pre Wedding As a wedding photographer in Utah, I have learned to embrace and enjoy the seasons. One of my favorite seasons for photos has to be Winter. I absolutely love sessions in the snow! When looking for a winter look a Pine Valley Snow Bridal is a must! Granted, they are much tougher logistically. They can be wet, cold and windy. The wind can be blowing and the snow falling all at the same time. That being said, they are also so romantic and beautiful. There is something about flakes of snow falling, that makes…

    Pine Valley Engagement Photos Southern Utah Wedding Photographer People don’t always associated Southern Utah with snow. Pine Valley Winter Engagement photo sessions are some of my favorites. Right here in Southern Utah we have a number of spots that have a decent amount of snow throughout the winter. Pine Valley is one of the best spots for snow for engagement photos. I love the winter and the wonderful feel of the season. Only about 40 minutes from St George, Pine Valley has amazing pine trees, mountains and lots of snow! I had such a fun time with Erika and Levi.…

    St George Wedding Photographer St George LDS Temple Wedding The Toniquent Nature Center and Gardens are a wonderful venue for a wedding reception. There isn’t anything like a Toniquent Gardens wedding in St George. Ali and Cory were married at the St George LDS temple, and then had their reception at the Toniquent Gardens. I love photographing temples at the LDS Temple in St George. The stunning architecture of the pioneer building is so iconic and unique. I had the best time with Ali, Cory and their families.

Jordan and Jackson were married at the St George LDS Temple in Southern Utah and had their stunning reception at The Ledges. The Ledges is a wonderful wedding venue. It sits above Snow Canyon and is known for its wonderful view and beautiful indoor, outdoor vibe. I loved all of the light colors and textures at this wedding. I photographed Jordan and Jackson’s…

    St George Engagement Photographer Southern Utah Fall Engagement Photos I loved this rustic fall engagement session with Jaycee and Tyler. Over ten years ago I met Jaycee when I photographed her sisters wedding in San Diego. She has grown up a lot since then! It was so fun going around with Jaycee and Tyler of their engagement photos near Leeds in Southern Utah. There is a lot of history in the Leeds and Silver Reef area. The mining industry in the area was a large reason for the growth of Southern Utah in the late 1800’s. I am a bit…

We have no shortage of amazing lakes and reservoirs in Southern Utah. Sand Hallow is one of my favorites for photos! I love the red rock jutting out of the crystal blue water. It is almost otherworldly. Kelcie and Matt were so fantastic to work with! We hiked around the beaches and sandstone cliffs to get some truly amazing photos. The sunset was nothing…
