    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…

    Utah Capital Building Wedding {Jasmine+Erik}

    May 29, 2017

    Wedding at the Utah State Capital SLC Wedding Photographer The Utah State Capital is an amazing building full of fantastic architecture and charm. It is right up the hill from the Salt Lake Temple, which was perfect for these two. Jasmine and Erik’s wedding day began at the Salt Lake LDS Temple. From there they had their reception for their wedding at the Utah State Capital. I loved photographing Jasmine and Erik’s reception at the Utah State Capital Building. The Capital building is an absolutely unique and regal location for a wedding. A rainy wedding day Jasmine and Erik’s day started at the Salt Lake City LDS Temple just blocks…

    Utah Capital Building Pre Wedding {Andy+Lin}

    March 29, 2017

    Utah State Capital Engagement Photos SLC Wedding Photographer I love photographing Utah State Capital Engagement sessions. Few places in Utah have the grand Greco Roman architecture of the Utah Capital building in Salt Lake City. I love the colors, lines and texture of the capital building. I was so glad when Andy and Lin decided they wanted some of their engagement photos at the Capital Building. We photographed the second half of their session at the capital. We had so much rain as we were driving there from Silverlake. I was so worried we wouldn’t be able to photograph them at the Capital…

    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…

    Bozeman Wedding {Lena+Keir}

    September 1, 2016

    Bozeman Wedding Photographer Yellowstone Wedding Photographer I just can’t say enough good things about working with and photographing this amazing couple! Their wedding in Bozeman Montana was an absolute dream. Not far from Yellow Stone National Park, Bozeman is nestled below stunning green hills and mountains. The weather throughout the day changed by the minute. At one point I thought it would be an absolute downpour with dark clouds looming overhead. The next moment the sun would come back out to play. This kind of weather makes for some stunning skies for photos, which is always a good thing! I had…

    Coalville Southfork Lodge Wedding {Nora+George}

    August 23, 2016

    South fork Lodge Utah Wedding Utah Wedding Photographer Located near Coalville and not far from Park City and Salt Lake is this quaint hunting lodge and wedding venue. I love the areas around Park City for a Wedding. Nora and George were married at the Southfork Lodge and it was absolutely stunning. Their decor and setup by Hoops Weddings & Events, was a mix of geology, which is what they both do for a living… and old world rustic charm. I loved Nora’s stunning lace wedding gown by Betsy Couture, and George’s three piece wool suit. They had great style…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Bozeman Montana Wedding {Lena+Keir}

    April 21, 2016

    Over about a year of wedding planning I really enjoyed working with Lena and Keir. I first meat up with them while photographing their engagement photos in Park City about a year before the wedding. I immediately loved working with these two! A couple months before their wedding we meat back up to photograph their bridal session at Tibble Fork reservoir. I was so happy to travel out to Bozeman Montana to photograph their beautiful wedding. Bozeman is only about an hour or so away from Yellowstone National Park. It is a beautiful city and was so perfect for a destination…

    Tibble Fork Sunset Engagement {Alyssa+Ryan}

    March 2, 2016

    The Alpine Loop is a stunning location for engagement and wedding photos. I especially like The Tibble Fork Reservoir area for engagement photos. I love the pine trees, mixed with aspen. I love the green water of the reservoir. I of course love the views of the mountains in the background. The location is stunning. The only thing better for this session was this amazing couple. They were a stunning couple and we so great to photograph. We had an awesome time hiking around and finding some beautiful spots to make some engagements photo magic. It was a blast hanging out…

    I love photographing couples in amazing places. Albion Basin is an absolutely stunning location for a photo session of any kind. I loved hiking around with Laura & Tanner for this romantic session full of laughs and amazing scenery. Engagement sessions are one of my favorites. I love to get to know a couple in a casual setting. It makes the wedding day that much more fun when I already have a great relationship with the couple I am photographing. I loved working with Laura & Tanner. I actually photographed Laura’s sisters wedding several years ago and absolutely adore their family.…
