    Amazing Mossy Red Rock Pre Wedding {Lauren+Stephen}

    April 7, 2015

    I am lucky enough to photograph a lot of weddings and couples in and around St George and Southern Utah. One of my favorite spots that I am constantly drawn to is Snow Canyon. There is just something about the red sandstone cliffs and amazing contrast of colors with the green trees and grey desert sage that is amazing. I always try to photograph something new and fresh or in a different way. Snow Canyon is the perfect place for photos. When Lauren and Stephen contacted me about doing their pre wedding bridal session in Southern Utah at Snow Canyon near…

    Utah Canyon Engagement {Kelly + John}

    March 20, 2015

    Photographing couples in Snow Canyon always amazes me. The landscape is so diverse and inspiring. Kelly and John made the trek from Las Vegas to Southern Utah to capture their engagement photos. They are both dental students in Vegas but wanted a change of scenery. Their engagement photos were so beautiful despite the fact that we ran into a spell of very cold windy weather. It was a chilly day to be sure but we still had a blast and took in the environment and amazing scenery that Southern Utah has to offer. There are some iconic spots in the…

    Grafton Ghost Town Pre Wedding {Cassidy + Aaron}

    March 16, 2015

    I have photographed Cassidy many times over the years and have loved working with her and Aaron as a couple. We did their engagement photography session outside of Zion for a beautiful Zion overlook engagement session. These two are just so much fun! They are an absolute joy to be around. In their case opposites did not attract. They are both so funny, and fun, and beautiful and are all around genuinely kind and caring people. Grafton was such a special place for their pre wedding photography session. Cassidy’s family lived in the Grafton ghost town before it was a ghost town.…

    Zion National Park Snow Engagement Teaser

    March 11, 2015

    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…

    Zion Overlook Engagement {Cassidy + Aaron}

    February 24, 2015

    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…

    Utah Red Rock Engagement {Morgan+Marcello}

    February 19, 2015

    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…

    Sand Dunes Engagement Session {Sarah + Dustin}

    September 13, 2014

    I had the opportunity recently to photograph this lovely couple for their engagement session. A couple years ago I photographed Sarah’s brothers engagement photo session in Snow Canyon. She loved that session so much that she wanted to do her engagement photos in Southern Utah as well. There are so many different spots in the area and I love that we shot in a similar location but with a very different overall feel to the backdrop. Sarah and Dustin are such a beautiful could and I had so much fun laughing and joking around with these two. I loved their…

    Snow Canyon Red Rock {Jessica + Matt}

    January 10, 2014

    When couples from out of town tell me they want photos somewhere with red rocks, somewhere that really says Southern Utah, Snow Canyon automatically comes to mind. The sand dunes, the black lava rock, the sage brush and red sand stone cliffs really are an amazing specimen of Southern Utah. Jessica and Matt have been married for several years and recently moved to the area. They were a great couple to work with and I loved seeing them still so in love!

    Snow Canyon Family Photos

    November 27, 2013

    Year round Snow Canyon is a perfect place for family photos. It is always beautiful. The red rock cliffs and amazing views make for the perfect location for any kind of pictures. This session happened to get Snow Canyon when it actually had snow. This is pretty unique. We had an unusual amount of snow this year in St George and as far as photos are concerned I’m glad! I had a great time with this amazing little family and was so glad to have been able to work with them. The day was beautiful though cold and they were…

    Southern Utah Family Photos {Moore Family}

    September 24, 2013

    One of my favorite sessions of each year is photographing the Moore Family. This year we photographed their family at the Kayenta Reservoir. It is a beautiful spot and is a great contrast to some of their previous sessions. I have been working with the Moores for about five years now. We first photographed their family not far from where this session took place. Our next session was quite a bit farther away, but like the beautiful lake in this session water was our inspiration shooting at the beach in San Diego. The Desert of Red Rock in Las Vegas…

    Utah Canyon Engagement {Theresa + Scott}

    October 12, 2012

    I loved photographing Theresa and Scotts engagement session in Snow Canyon recently. They are such a beautiful couple. The location was perfect for these to doing their engagements photos as a destination event. They both live in New York where they will be married soon. I loved their fashion sense and style not to mention their obvious love for one another!
