    Zion Canyon Overlook Wedding {Chantelle+Macrae}

    October 12, 2017

    Zion Overlook Pre Wedding I love Zion National Park for a wedding. In all the world there really is no place quite like Zion! Chantelle and Macrae are both from Southern Utah, and wanted to have Zion to be the background of their bridal photos. I love the Zion Overlook hike for wedding photos! A Zion canyon wedding is so unique and beautiful! The day was warm, albeit beautiful. I loved the afternoon sunlight breaking through the sandstone cliffs, lighting these two just perfectly! Not to long ago I was photographing engagements for Chantelle and Macrae. We had an amazing…

    Cabo Del Sol Mexico Wedding {Sara+Will}

    September 20, 2017

    Cabo Del Sol Wedding There is nothing in Cabo like a Cabo Del Sol wedding. I really love Cabo San Lucas for a wedding! Photographing weddings in Mexico are always a good time. Cabo Del Sol is a beautiful golf course wedding venue on the beach of Cabo San Lucas. I was so thrilled when Sara and Will asked me to photograph their wedding in Mexico. I had the best time with the two of them photographing their engagement photos. We did their engagement photos at Balboa Park in San Diego. Sara and Will both live in San Diego, although…

    Zion Overlook Wedding {Sandra+Daniel}

    July 28, 2017

    Wedding at Zion Overlook I love to photograph weddings in Zion National Park. The majestic views and panoramic vistas make for one of the most magnificent wedding backdrops in the world. It is no wonder that couples travel from all over to be married in this awe inspiring location. More often then not weddings in Zion National Park end up down in the canyon. The temple of Sinawava is a beautiful spot that captures some of the canyon feel from below. If you are looking for a spot in the park though, that really captures the essence of Zion, there…

    Silverlake Engagement Photos {Andy+Lin}

    June 13, 2017

    Utah Mountain Engagement Photos Silverlake Engagement Photographer Silverlake is one of the most beautiful spots in Utah for engagement photos! Before heading to the Utah State Capital for engagements, I started with Andy and Lin at Silverlake. Silverlake for engagement photos, is an absolutely stunning area in the mountains. The fall colors were just wonderful and the weather was lovely. I love fall engagement sessions in the mountains! The wonderful textures and colors make stunning backdrops. I had such a great time getting to know Andy and Lin during our time photographing their engagements. These two have such wonderful chemistry and…

    Old World Safari Editorial

    June 6, 2017

    Vintage Safari Wedding Inspiration Southern Utah Wedding Photographer I had the amazing opportunity to photograph this Old World Safari inspired wedding editorial. As a wedding photographer in Southern Utah I always try to make the most of our amazing desert landscape. I have always though how similar some locations look to what I imagine Africa looking like. I imagine an old world African Safari wedding with all of the amazing foods and textures and colors. It can be so great doing styled shoots in Southern Utah. I like to find fun new locations that tell a story. The wash where I decided…

    High School Senior { Jordan }

    August 30, 2014

    Photographing Seniors for their graduation is so fun. This time of their lives is such a milestone and I love to help them remember it in an artistic way that they and their families can enjoy for years to come. Jordan is a beautiful girl and was great to photograph. Her senior pictures are soft and beautiful which really went along with her personality. Senior Portraits are a session I always enjoy and look forward to. This session in Southern Utah was no exception.

    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…
