    July 30, 2016

    Katie and Brian had the most incredible and iconic Palm Springs wedding! Colony 29 Palm Springs is a one of a kind wedding venue!  Carved into the bottom of the hill are two separate wedding and reception venues totaling over 12,000 square feet.

    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…

    Lowndes Grove Charleston Wedding {Nicole+Ben}

    July 20, 2016

    I don’t think its a secret that I absolutely love photographing weddings in Charleston South Carolina. I love the history and the palpable charm that is in the air. Nicole and Ben had their Southern wedding at Lowndes Grove Plantation. Nestled near the center of downtown Charleston, Lowndes Grove is an old world house trapped in time. The location of the grounds on the waters edge with its long dock is just so quintessential Charleston. The old manner house is a perfect representation of Southern charm. I had the awesome opportunity to work with A Charleston Bride for this wedding.…

    July 16, 2016

    In the Uinta Mountains high above Heber Jessica and Marcus had a stunning wedding at the top of the world. The views from the mountains down into the rallies below made for an absolutely breathtaking wedding backdrop. Four wheel drive was a must to get up to the location for their wedding ceremony. Nestled in the high grass and rolling mountains their wedding ceremony had their closes friends and family in attendance. Not to mention hoards of sheep grazing the pastures below. The day was beautiful with absolutely perfect weather. I loved spending time photographing these two and their wonderful…

    Lake Powell Wedding {Jaime+Jake}

    July 11, 2016

    Jaime & Jake have a love for the outdoors. They were planning to do a family trip to Lake Powell and decided to combine it with their nuptials to make for the perfect destination wedding in one of the most stunning locations in the world. Lake Powell is an amazing location for a wedding. The towering sandstone cliffs jutting out of the crystal blue water make for one of the most jaw dropping landscapes anywhere. People come from all over to experience this wondrous area. The recreation is a big draw for any lake, but this is especially true for…

    Blue Sky Ranch Winter Wedding {Jen+Keegan}

    July 1, 2016

    Winter Park City Wedding Blue Sky Ranch is one of my favorite wedding venues in all of Utah. The rolling hills and mountains make for a perfect backdrop for a rustic or an elegant wedding. The Ceremony and Reception for Jen and Keegan were held by the big blue barn at Blue Sky. Prior to their ceremony, the two had a first look in the falling snow. The High West Distillery on the property was the perfect backdrop.  We were able to get all of their couples and wedding party photos out of the way prior to the ceremony. It was important…

    McCrady’s Charleston Wedding Dinner {Nicole+Ben}

    June 12, 2016

    McCrady’s restaurant in downtown Charleston was the perfect spot for Nicole and Ben’s pre wedding rehearsal dinner. Wedding planners “A Charleston Bride” did such a fantastic and fun setup for this beautiful dinner in the historic french district of Charleston. I loved the Black and Yellow accented with lemons and floral. It felt so light and fresh. The evening was beautiful with toasts and mingling. I love getting to photograph rehearsal dinners. They are a stress free event where everyone is having a great time. This one was so much fun. Like much of Charleston, McCrady’s has some really fun…

    White Rock Desert Engagement {Aimee+Brandon}

    June 7, 2016

    Over the years I have had the great opportunity to photograph some of Aimee’s good friends weddings. I was so happy when she contacted me about photographing this amazing time in her and Brandon’s lives. The two of them were to totally open to me choosing the location when it came to photographing their engagement session. I had scouted out this spot last year and had been waiting for the right shoot to do here. The white rock and unique formations were stunning. I love shooting in the desert at sunset. The light gets so perfect. We couldn’t have asked…

    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…

    More often then not when couples ask me what to wear for their engagement session I really try to encourage them to be themselves… their best selves. Amanda and Mason needed no coaching. They came dressed to impress and I absolutely loved working with them for their engagement photo session. Their session took place in the beginning of Spring. We knew we wanted it to have that green spring feel. The weather was beautiful and the trees with the golden light of the afternoon were stunning. I loved photographing the love these two have for one another. The golf course…

    Boneville Salt Flats Pre Wedding {Taylour+Zachary}

    May 8, 2016

    The Boneville Salt Flats are best known for their perfectly flat stretches which are used for breaking land speed records with anything with wheels. The stark feel of white that goes on forever to the mountains in the background make for an absolutely unique and stunning environment. It was an absolutely beautiful backdrop for Taylour and Zachary’s bridal photo session. That being said it was also the windiest session I have ever shot in. The wind was a constant 40mph plus, making communicating and photographing a challenge… but an awesome one. Beyond the wind it was also freezing out. Taylour…
