    Avenues SLC engagement photos {Kaitlyn+Sean}

    October 15, 2014

    Kaitlyn and Sean really are too much fun. I loved every moment of this engagement session. We started at their cute apartment downtown in Salt Lake City for the engagement photos and moved up the avenues for some beautiful views of the city below and the hills above. What a dreamy spot. Kaitlyn and Sean are just so enjoyable to work with. We laughed and had a blast. I really felt like they were just such genuinely good people. Being beautiful on top of that might just be too much! I loved their style and fun attitude for the engagement…

    Draper Temple Wedding {Kellie+Jesse}

    October 4, 2014

    I can’t say enough how much I love working with this amazing couple. I first had the opportunity to photograph Kellie and Jesse for their engagement session in Sevilla Spain . The Draper temple is a beautiful place and I loved photographing  their wedding there. Their wedding reception took place at  the Highland Gardens a beautiful green house venue located in Highland Utah. Kellie and Jesse are full of personality and are so fun to be around. They are beautiful inside and out and I feel so glad to know them both!

    Park City Barn Engagement {Lena + Keir}

    July 20, 2014

    I love photographing engagement sessions in Utah. Getting to shoot Lena and Keir’s pre wedding pictures in Park City Utah was wonderful. The old white barn in Park City is such an iconic spot and was perfect for capturing the overwhelming charm of Park City. Lena and Keir are a beautiful couple and were so fun to work with. They are not originally from the area but have come to call Utah home. I had such a fantastic time photographing these two. The weather was perfect and I just love Park City this time of year. Its so green and the…

    SLC LDS Temple Wedding {Ashton + Mitchell}

    May 20, 2014

    Photographing weddings at the beautiful SLC LDS Temple in downtown Salt Lake is always amazing. The buildings downtown have amazing architecture, and there is always a number of spots with wonderful lighting . This Fall wedding even had the beautiful fall colors. I had the opportunity to photograph Ashton and Mitchell’s Engagement session a few months prior, and then their Bridal Session in SLC more recently. They are a beautiful couple inside and out, and are so fun to work with. I really enjoyed their families as well. Their reception at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building was really special. They had…

    Heartwood Hall Tennessee Wedding {Emily + Ben}

    May 15, 2014

    One of my favor destination weddings to photograph was Emily and Ben’s beautiful event at Heartwood Hall just outside of Memphis Tennessee. Heartwood Hall is an old plantation property with all of the Southern Charm you could ever want. Speaking of charm, Emily and Ben are just about the cutest couple out there and their love was infectious. Emily wanted pictures of a first look before the wedding ceremony which was taking place at sunset. This was one of the most emotional first looks I have photographed. Ben’s love for Emily on their wedding day was overwhelming. Lets back up…

    Adolphus Hotel Wedding {Morning + Michael}

    May 10, 2014

    I have the opportunity to travel often for weddings and I love it. Photographing Morning and Michaels wedding day in Dallas Texas at the LDS Temple and their reception at the Adolphus Hotel in downtown Dallas was awesome. They found me through their friends who I photographed a couple years back.  Nate of NP Films came with me and shot awesome video as well. I loved working with this great couple and their wonderful families. We started the day at the Mormon Temple in Dallas and photographed most of their family and wedding party as well as the two of…

    SLC Garden Place Wedding {Stephanie + Joel}

    April 28, 2014

    Photographing this wedding reception at The Garden Place in Salt Lake was amazing. Stephanie and Joel were married at the Salt Lake City Temple and had their reception at The Garden Place, at This is The Place. I loved photographing weddings at the temple. I feel like there are so many amazing spots that I can always find something new and fresh for the photos. The architecture is fantastic and so unique.

    Bridal in Snow Canyon { Alexa }

    March 29, 2014

    Photographing Alexa for her bridals at Snow Canyon was an absolute delight. Her gorgeous dress from “The Brides’Shop” in Salt Lake was a real stunner against the lava and red rock of Southern Utah. I always love being able to photograph beautiful brides in dresses that have a timeless feel to them.  She chose a classically romantic soft updo by the talented stylist Julie Thomas. Her great style carried over to her gorgeous bouquet of flowers, that was created by Alexa and her sister. I had been looking forward to shooting the bridals after photographing her great engagement session with…

    SLC Courthouse Pre Wedding { Ashton + Mitchell }

    March 23, 2014

    Photographing Ashton in Salt Lake City near the Court House in her custom made wedding dress and Mitchell in his tailored tux was awesome. The two are such a beautiful couple, and are genuinely kind and just all around great. We photographed their bridal session in Salt Lake where their wedding is also taking place. We started with some green trees and made our way downtown to get a bit more of a architectural feel. Finishing at the courthouse was perfect. The lighting was great, and I just love the old architecture. Be sure to also check out their engagement…

    Photographing Cambri and Michaels wedding day at the Salt Lake Temple and Le Jardin was wonderful. Le Jardin is a beautiful reception venue. Year round it is green and lush. Le Jardin is a group of green houses filled with beautiful plants and walkways. Cambri’s mother is a decorator and did a wonderful job with all of the setup for the reception. Their beautiful day started at the SLC Temple. I have enjoyed getting to know these two through the process of photographing their engagement photos around downtown SLC and then their wedding. Cambri’s family is so wonderful and I…

The colors are just perfect. Stephanie and Joel are a beautiful couple and I look forward to sharing their bridal photos and wedding photos with you soon.
