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!

Southern Utah Engagement Photographer Joshua Tree Engagement Photos As a photographer I just love light! I love light shining thought trees, and over mountains.

Winter Zion National Park Engagement {Braden+Sara}

January 4, 2017

Engagement Proposals in Zion National park happen all year long, but the winter is the off season for Zion National Park. People don’t associate Zion with snow, but we do get it from time to time, and when it happens, it is beyond breathtaking. I loved photographing the engagement of Sara and Braden in Zion National Park in the winter. I love the warmth of the red and orange sandstone mixed with the cold snow. It makes for such beautiful and interesting photo backdrops. As a wedding photographer in Southern Utah I have the opportunity to work often in Zion,…

Over the years I have had the great opportunity to photograph some of Aimee’s good friends weddings. I was so happy when she contacted me about photographing this amazing time in her and Brandon’s lives.
