    Zion River Engagement {Rehn+Nick}

    August 29, 2018

    Zion Utah Engagement Photos Rehn and Nick both love the water. Their Zion River Engagement was a blast! I absolutely love photographing engagement sessions in Zion! These two will be getting married at Lake Havasu in 2019 where Rehn grew up. For their engagement photos, they knew they wanted to be by the water in some form or another. We decided on the combination of the beautiful scenery of Zion, and the beautiful virgin river.  I always love photographing couples in and around water. Especially in the desert where water is so precious. It makes for such unique and fun…

    Elopement in Zion National Park Zion Wedding Photographer I always love photographing elopements in Zion National Park.

    Snow Canyon Pre Wedding {Brittney+Tyler}

    October 29, 2016

    Snow Canyon Utah Wedding Location Southern Utah Wedding Photographer Zion National Park is so appealing for weddings and adventure, but can often be busy with tourists. Less known, but equally spectacular in its own way, Snow Canyon State Park is an absolutely stunning location for a wedding. After photographing the first half of Brittney and Tyler’s pre wedding at the St George temple, we made the quick trip over to Snow Canyon to capture some of the splendor that Southern Utah has to offer. I always love photographing weddings and engagements in Snow Canyon. The towering sandstone cliffs of red…

    Snow Canyon Utah Rainy Wedding Day Southern Utah Wedding Photographer Despite being a dark rainy day, I had such a great time photographing the wedding of Afton and Bryan. This was a destination wedding for the two. They were married at the St George Temple, where we meat up with all of their friends and family who visited from out of town. We then took the trip over to Snow Canyon to capture some of the beauty that Southern Utah has to offer. They are such a fun and dynamic couple. I had a great time taking them around to…

    Red Rock Snow Canyon Engagement {Macy+Heath}

    July 26, 2016

    I love photographing couples in Southern Utah. Zion National Park and Snow Canyon State Park are two of the best spots for red rock sandstone in Southern Utah. I loved photographing Macy and Heath for their engagement session in Snow Canyon. I don’t know if there is anywhere else as beautiful in Southern Utah. The best part about Snow Canyon compared to Zion is a lack of clouds. Zion is an amazing place to be sure. I like to think of Snow Canyon as a mini Zion. Macy and heath are a beautiful couple inside and out. So fun to…

    Sand Hallow Lake Pre Wedding {Courtney+Travis}

    May 30, 2016

    Is there anything more dramatic then Blue water contrasting with the orange colored rock of Southern Utah?! Courtney and Travis are having their wedding at Sand Hallow so it seemed appropriate to do their pre wedding photo session at the Lake at Sand Hallow. I loved Travis’ reaction as he saw Courtney walk up in her stunning BHLDN dress for the first time. The amazing floral by Bloomers was the perfect complement. The day was beautiful and so were these two. We hiked around to some pretty phenomenal locations, finally ending up cliffside high above the azure water below. Luckily…

    Snow Canyon Spring Engagement {Courtney+Travis}

    May 23, 2016

    I love photographing couples for their engagement photos. This beautiful engagement photo session in Snow Canyon State Park was no different. Courtney often wears a hat so she brought one along for some of the photos. It was so fun, and a great way to show a little bit of who she is. The two of them have such fun style, and amazing personalities. We laughed and joked as we hiked around the red rock and lava flows of Snow Canyon. The sandstone cliffs and formations always make for such an amazing time in Snow Canyon. I am constantly amazed…

    White Rock Utah Engagement {Jasmine+Erik}

    March 22, 2016

    I had a great time photographing this engagement session. When talking about Southern Utah, most people think first and foremost of the red rock cliffs and mesas of places like Zion National Park and Snow Canyon. I love the white sandstone area above Snow Canyon for its stark contrast to the typical red rock. When I’m photographing anyone in this area I love to get a good pop of contrast from what they are wearing. Jasmine & Erik came dressed to impress. Jasmine’s red and green dresses along with Erik in his tux looked amazing against the white desert landscape.…

    February 22, 2016

    I recently had the opportunity to photograph April & Connor’s bridal session starting at the LDS Temple in St George and then moving on to finish their bridal session in Snow Canyon State Park. I am a big fan of both of these locations. I love the architecture and grounds of the temple. I photograph weddings at the LDS Temple often and its always such a pleasure. Snow Canyon is one of my favorite places anywhere, and even more so when we get so lucky to have an amazing sky. The weather was pretty fantastic for photos with these two. They…

Zion has become known as one of the top destinations for a wedding and with its awe inspiring outdoor appeal it is no wonder why. The weather in Zion is some of the best in the world.

    It is no wonder that tourism to Zion National Park has skyrocketed over the past several years. As more people become familiar with Zion more and more people come to be married there. Jordan & Jackson knew they wanted to have their engagement session overlooking Zion. Im so glad they were up for the adventure! We lucked out with some incredible clouds in the sky for their engagement photos, adding an extra element of depth to what is already a spectacular background! I love the overlook with the famous sandstone cliffs of Zion in the background. The day was beautiful,…
