Its not often that the snow falls in Southern Utah but when it does it can make for some pretty spectacular photos. I love the look of the snow on the saturated sandstone cliffs. I was pretty excited to photograph the engagement recently of Sarah & Braden in Zion National Park. The snow was on the ground yet the temperature was a perfect 70 degrees outside. We took off on an engagement photo adventure and came up with some pretty awesome images to document the love that these two share. Keep posted for more photos from this beautiful couples engagement…

Engagement photos at Carlsbad State Beach and Lagoon I had a wonderful time photographing Melanie & Mark in Carlsbad for Engagements. Melanie wrote a little about the session as well as her and Marks story! “I had high standards when booking my wedding photographer, as photos are the most important for me when it comes to elements for my wedding day. I wanted someone with a unique style and when I came across Jimmy’s work, I knew immediately that I had to book him for our wedding. Mark was a bit hesitant to do an engagement session, but I was insistent…

I have so enjoyed photographing this lovely couple. I have had the opportunity to work with Cassidy and her family many times over the years starting with her sisters wedding, and then her Senior Pictures near Zion. Todays post is a bit different. Cassidy wrote down her loves story with Aaron and is sharing it with all of you. Enjoy! Aaron and I had our first date at the end of April 2014. We were both kind of seeing someone else, and I lived in St. George at the time (he was in Provo) so we weren’t really expecting much…

Photographing weddings and engagements in the red rocks of Southern Utah is always so awe inspiring. Morgan and Marcello came in from out of town to be photographed in the slender of Snow Canyon State Park. The amazing red rock formations of petrified sand dunes mixed with the giant sand dune cliffs and green trees and foliage make for such a unique place for photos. As a destination wedding photographer I travel all over the world photographing couples and am still always so inspired by what I have right here in my own back yard. Still I’m looking forward to…

One of the most beautiful locations for a wedding and nestled in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City is Memory Grove. The vast green lawns, meandering stream and amazing architecture make for such a wonderful wedding venue. Madeline and Brandon were married at one of the sites on the grounds. I love the classic Greco Roman architecture that was the backdrop for their wedding ceremony. Their first look beforehand just outside of Memory Grove building made for such an amazing moment. I love first looks when they are possible because it frees up so much more time after the…

As a photographer I travel all over and always love visiting Southern California. I have the wonderful opportunity to work with some amazing families in Southern California. Working with the Hekier family for the first time in Carlsbad was such a treat! I absolutely love their amazing style and family dynamic. Its always fun shooting in beautiful places. The Carlsbad Lagoon is one of those spots where I’m always so inspired. When photographing a Family I really try to capture who they are as a whole and then of course small bits of the individuals as well. I loved being…

Families come from all over the world to visit Zion National Park and experience its amazing beauty. I love photographing families that visit Zion and Southern Utah. The Shallenberger Family wanted to capture their family in the park and a bit of what they love so much about Zion as well. Getting family pictures done in Zion while you are visiting is such a fantastic way to remember your incredible visit to the park. There really are few places on earth that are as mind blowing as Zion. There really is no better way to remember ones trip then with…

Kori and I have been instagram buddies for a while so when she contacted me about photographing her and her beautiful son Maddox I was thrilled. They are so close and have so much fun together. I wanted to really capture who they are together. We started the session at her house where Maddox was able to play with some of his favorite things. Legos and Trains. It was so great getting to photograph them in their environment. Nathan Pickett of NP Films came with me for this shoot to do a video of the two of them as well.…

Many families come from all around the US and the world to visit Southern Utah. While visiting the area its such a great idea to schedule a family photo session. There is no place like Southern Utah. Weather it be a family session above the towering cliffs of Zion National Park or at of of our serene desert lakes, there are so many places to choose from. The Terry Family decided to do their family photography session in Snow Canyon State Park. I photographed Chris and Ashly’s Wedding in Snow Canyon about a year earlier and was so glad to…

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…

The Olivenhain Town Hall is the perfect spot in Encinitas Ca for a family photography session. Over the years I have been photographing the Maudlin Family I have come to know them as some of the most kind and loving people. I have watched their family grow and mature. It all started when I photographed their engagement photos in Encinitas California and then their wedding photos in Napa California. Since then I have photographed their growing family on several occasions. We have done family photography sessions in La Jolla, Family photo sessions in Carlsbad at the carlsbad lagoon and at…

Many couples travel from all over to come to the breathtaking red rocks of Southern Utah. Shanna & John traveled all the way from Sovanna Georgia one of my favorite areas, to come and do their engagement photos in Snow Canyon State Park. I loved their casual yet dressy southern style. The pink and blue they wore up against the green and red of Snow Canyon was stunning. There are few places as beautiful, and few couples as beautiful either! John is a helicopter pilot for the Army and with that they travel quite a bit. I can’t wait to…
