    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.…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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. I really enjoy all of the different old buildings near by as well. After photographing their engagements and Bridal photos in Salt Lake I was so excited to…

    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…

    Salt Lake City Engagement { Ashton + Mitchell }

    January 1, 2014

    I always love photographing couples in Salt Lake and really dig the Garden Park Ward for engagements and bridals. For Ashton and Mitchell’s engagement pictures we started in the late afternoon and ended up with a couple of outfit changes. They have such great chemistry and style. This session really was so much fun. NP Films was also there doing a love story engagement video for them it was a whole lot of laughing and a lot of fun. Nate ( of NP Films) Does awesome work and is always great to work with. I also had the chance to photograph…

    Wedding at This Is The Place {Nami + Jesse}

    November 24, 2013

    The Garden Place at This Is The Place is a wedding photography dream. The venue is perfect for large weddings with a great rustic barn feel. I was so happy to photograph Nami and Jesse’s wedding there this past fall. The areas surrounding the venue are full of amazing history and beauty. Not to mention the outstanding landscape and views of the mountains. The Garden Place is fashioned like a huge barn and fits a large wedding reception. I also has beautiful patio areas for receptions or outdoor seating. Nami is from the Salt Lake City area and Jesse is from…

    Salt Lake Punk Wedding {Mariana + Jordan}

    October 25, 2013

    Mariana and Jordan have a style and a love all their own. They both love punk Rock so I’m saying that was a bit of the theme of this wedding. I loved photographing these two, Mariana in her beautiful blue greek style wedding dress and Jordan in his casual shoes and great looking bow tie. It was a bit wet in SLC when we started doing their wedding photos but it turned out beautiful anyway. The cold Salt Lake air and the wonderful fall colors made for the right combination of really showing the time of year. Mariana is from…

    Downtown SLC Engagement {Cambri + Michael}

    October 20, 2013

    For Cambri and Michaels Engagement Pictures we went all over Salt Lake City. We started downtown in s few gritty alley ways and roof tops and ended at the Garden Park Ward. Cambri and Michael are one of my favorite couples. I photographed Cambri’s brothers wedding a few years back in St George and was so excited to work with this wonderful family again! Michael is a Dentist in SLC and is just one of the funniest guys. Cambri is obviously beautiful, but is also super witty and fun. The chemistry these two have is amazing. The session had no…
