    Tibble Fork Summer Bridal {Lena+Keir}

    October 6, 2015

    Las year at about the same time I meat up with these two to photograph their amazing engagement session in Park City. I had been looking forward ever since to photographing their bridal session. Their wedding is in Montana so we knew we wanted a beautiful green mountain look not only to mesh well with the engagement session, but with the wedding day as well. I love the Alpine Loop in Utah and all that it has to offer for photographs. The Tibble Fork Reservoir has become very popular since the time I first started photographing couples there. It can…

    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.…

    Tibble Fork Engagement {Jen+Keegan}

    August 25, 2015

    This stunning summer engagement session up the Alpine Loop at the Tibble Fork Reservoir was too beautiful for words. Jen and Keegan are such an awesome couple and besides the fact that they are absolutely gorgeous the are so down to earth and fun. I loved spending time with these two, walking up the flower covered mountains and down by the beautiful emerald green lake. The misty fog in the background by the lake was absolute perfection for these engagement photos. Jen and Keegan’s wedding will be taking place in the winter near Park City. Michelle Leo Events will be…

    Salt Lake City Avenues Bridal {Madeline+Brandon}

    May 20, 2015

    The day after photographing their wedding at Memory Grove in Salt Lake City I reunited with Madeline and Brandon for a wonderful honeymoon bridal session. I love day after wedding sessions. They are so intimate and special. Its a wonderful opportunity to get some amazing wedding style photos in locations that on the wedding day would not be possible. This spot above the avenues overlooking Salt Lake is a hidden jewel. I love the rolling hills and fields. You would never think its practically in the city. Madeline’s wedding gown was stunning and I love the casualness of Brandons suit…

    Tibble Fork Winter Engagement {Carlie+Mickey}

    April 13, 2015

    Ohh where to start with this stunning couple?! Photographing the engagement session of Carlie & Mickey up the Alpine Loop at Tibble Fork Reservoir might just have been the highlight of my winter. Its true that this has been the driest and warmest winter I can remember in Utah so that fact that we had snow and cool weather for this winter engagement photo session made it extra special. Thats not the only reason I love it so much though. Im not even going to get to the fact that this might be the prettiest couple of all time yet.…

    Salt Lake Memory Grove Wedding {Madeline+Brandon}

    February 19, 2015

    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…

    Alpine Loop Bridal Photos {Joelle+Kyle}

    December 7, 2014

    Driving up the alpine loop in the fall for wedding related photos is absolutely stunning. I had the amazing chance to photograph Joelle and Kyle at Tibble Fork Reservoir in Utah off of the Alpine Loop. The fall colors were in full force and the backdrop was absolutely stunning. I had the opportunity to do their engagement photography in Southern Utah a few months earlier and loved working with them then. They have such a fun and carefree style and attitude about them. They are an absolutely beautiful couple and I loved their fresh style. There isn’t a bad time…

    Heber City Utah Engagement {Jessica+Jordan}

    November 27, 2014

    I have always thought Heber and Midway would be amazing places to do engagement photos. When Jessica and Jordan left picking the location to me I know that this was the place. I love the lighting of the sun setting behind the mountains. The valley is just so stunning. Speaking of stunning, these two are absolutely gorgeous. They have known each other from high school and make the perfect pair. I had such a great time with the two of them photographing their engagement session. I love the cloths that Jessica picked out, especially the big hat. So fun! Heber…

    Aspen Meadows Pre Wedding {Oriana+Phillip}

    November 22, 2014

    I always love photographing couples at new and beautiful locations. This amazing venue outside of Kamas Utah was stunning. Its called Aspen Grove at Wolf Creek. It is absolutely stunning and is the venue for Oriana and Phillips wedding later this year. Nestled in the hills of aspen forest lies the beautiful log cabin inspired three story venue. The only thing that was more beautiful then this location was the stunning couple. Oriana’s wedding dress which she found in Seattle Washington was the perfect gown with Gatsby inspired art deco cues. The beautiful bouquet and floral headpiece by Blom Floral…

    Park City Summer Groomal {Natalie+Taylor}

    November 17, 2014

    Photographing beautiful couples like Natalie and Taylor in amazing places like Park City Utah is what I live for! We scheduled Natalie and Taylor’s bridal photography session in the morning and I love the soft dynamic light in these photos. Natalie and Taylor live near Salt Lake City so making the quick trip out to the McPolin Farm in Park City was ideal. They wanted the nature and the mountains to be an integral part of their pre wedding photography. As a Photographer it is often my job to judge the best locations to photograph a session depending on the…

    Fall Mountains Engagement Session {Stephanie+Louie}

    November 6, 2014

    With fall here I was looking back at past fall photo shoots that I never published on the blog. Stephanie and Louie had to be one of my favorites. I loved working with these two so much. They are such genuinely good people. I had the opportunity to photograph Stephanie and Louie’s wedding in South Carolina after this engagement session. Nate Pickett and I went out for the wedding, but he was also there for this great engagement session. What a beautiful couple and what an incredible backdrop. I especially love the proposal part of this engagement shoot!

    Park City is one of my favorite places to photograph both weddings and engagements. I was so thrilled when Nicole and Cooper decided they wanted to have their engagement session there at the old white barn. The McPolin Farm is such stunning location with worlds of charm. The only thing more beautiful then the location and the perfect weather was this amazing couple. Really do they get any lovelier then these two!? There were way too many favorites so Im over sharing on this blog post for sure! Im in love with the lighting and the color, not to mention…
