    Brick San Diego Wedding {Alissa+Tim}

    May 8, 2017

    Liberty Station San Diego Wedding San Diego Wedding Photographer I love photographing weddings in San Diego! As a destination wedding photographer I have the chance to get to some amazing places. I grew up in San Diego, and always love coming back to photograph weddings. Many people know of Liberty Station as the navy base. Several years ago the US Navy let it go, and it has since become a renaissance of business and beauty. Liberty station is a wonderful place for restaurants, walking around, and of course for a wedding! A Brick Liberty Station wedding is the perfect location!…

    Salt Lake LDS Temple Wedding {Tisha+Tyler}

    February 6, 2017

    Salt Lake City Wedding Photographer SLC Temple Wedding Getting to know Tisha and Tyler has been an absolute joy! I loved photographing their wedding in Salt Lake City. They were married at the SLC LDS Temple, and had their backyard reception later that day. They had many traditional Mexican elements. Needless to say that means it was a great party! Lots of dancing and mariachi music. It was so fun with miniature golf, and delicious treats. I photographed Tisha and Tyler’s engagement session in Southern Utah, and had the best time with the two of them. I was so thrilled…

    Lake District Wedding {Annabelle+Jeff}

    March 8, 2016

    I recently went to The Lake District to photograph a wedding. The wedding took place at the stunning Lingholm Estate which is located in Keswick. Annabelle & Jeff are both from England. Annabelle grew up in Keswick not far from the Lingholm Estate where the wedding reception took place. The ceremony took place at the little church in town. I met Jeff about four years ago while on assignment in Spain for a wedding magazine. When Jeff got engaged and asked me to come out to England to photograph his and Annabelle’s wedding I was beyond thrilled. In-between the ceremony…

    It no wonder that people travel from all over the world to visit Southern Utah and partake of its splendor. Snow Canyon State Park has to be one of the most stunning places on the planet!

    Desert Green Engagement {Tisha+Tyler}

    September 25, 2015

    When thinking of Southern Utah for Engagement or Wedding photos most automatically think of the desert red rocks. St George can offer such a wide variety of looks though for these beautiful photo sessions. I often ask couples that I am photographing what kind of a look or a feel they want to go for. Many love the red rock look, which is great and obviously so prevalent throughout Southern Utah. There are those though that want to have lush landscapes of life with lots of green. The rivers that flow through the area have brought people here since the…

    SLC Avenues Pre Wedding {Courtney+Kirk}

    September 3, 2015

    I was so excited to get to work with Courtney and Kirk again for their pre wedding photo session at The Avenues above Salt Lake City. We had originally planned to shoot at Tibble Fork Reservoir up the Alpine Loop, but due to some less then ideal stormy weather we decided to keep it close to home for Courtney & Kirk. They live just down the street from the avenues so it was a perfect spot for their bridal session. A couple months prior they made the trip down to Southern Utah where we photographed their engagement session in Snow Canyon.…
