    Moroccan-Mediterranean Wedding Inspiration

    August 10, 2015

    I had the awesome opportunity to do a shoot that I had been thinking about doing for a long time. I love the colors associated with Morocco and the Mediterranean and wanted to convey the feel of a Moroccan wedding in a styled wedding shoot. I loved photographing this amazing inspirational shoot against the redneck slot canyons and cliffs of Southern Utah. The awe inspiring decor by Forevermore Events and Bloomers was absolutely incredible. The cake by Sweet Cakes by Karen was mind blowing and the food by Cappelettis was mouth watering and oh so beautiful. I love photographing weddings…

    True North Zion Utah Wedding {Molly+Chris}

    August 3, 2015

    As a photographer I have the chance to photograph weddings in some amazing places. True North in Zion Utah is just one of those amazing places. Molly and Chris knew they wanted to have their wedding at Zion National Park. They both have a love for the outdoors and there really isn’t anywhere that encapsulates the beauty of nature like Zion National Park. Molly & Chris are both members of the US Navy and are true patriots. Their love for country mixed with their love of nature was carried throughout their wedding details and theme. Forevermore events did an amazing job…

    Zion National Park True North Wedding Teaser

    June 5, 2015

    Molly & Chris were recently married in a field overlooking Zion National Park. The wedding venue was True North which is up Kolob Terrace Road. This stunning venue was once a bar back in the 1950’s and is now really the only place in the area to have a wedding with the views looking down into Zion National Park. There really is no place like Zion. Most visitors to the park experience the main canyon of the park, but getting up to True North, one really gets to experience its beauty and majesty from a distance. The wedding of Molly…

    Zion Utah Elopement {Britt+Kyle}

    May 2, 2015

    Small Wedding in Zion National Park Of all the places in the world they could choose to be married Britt & Kyle knew Zion National Park was the spot. Neither of them had actually ever stepped foot into Zion but its beauty and splendor was known to them. Their daughter was an important part of their special Elopement and was so wonderful in front of the camera. We explored around the park with the three of them a bit photographing the three of them as a family before heading to a Zion overlook spot for their actual ceremony with a…

    Farm Fresh Wedding Inspiration {Southern Utah Bride}

    March 26, 2015

    Later last year I had the awesome opportunity to team up with some of my favorite wedding vendors to do this brilliant wedding inspiration shoot for Southern Utah Bride Magazine. The farm fresh theme of the shoot was in absolutely every detail. From the handcrafted paper products to the eye popping fruit and vegetable florals and even the venue of the community garden made this the perfect farm fresh wedding inspiration. I always love photographing inspiration for the readers of Southern Utah Bride and sharing those photos with all of their readers. The beautiful model we had for our bride…

    Zion National Park Wedding {Joann+Dimitri}

    February 9, 2015

    True North is a wedding venue up Kolab Canyon on the back side of Zion National Park. I was so happy to photograph this fun County Fair inspired wedding at True North. Joann and Dimitri were such an easy going fun couple to photograph. Their families came from all over for this lovely destination wedding. The florals by Bloomers out of St George Utah were stunning. The show stopper for this wedding was definitely the backdrop which was hand made by Dimitri especially for the wedding. I see it as something with no beginning and no end which is perfect for…

    December 30, 2014

    If you are thinking about having a wedding in Zion National Park you really need not think about it any more. I mean is there anyplace on earth as stunning as Zion?! While there are so many wonderful national parks I really am partial to how awe inspiring Zion is for a wedding! Kaitlyn and Sean are two of the kindest and most beautiful people I have had the extreme pleasure to work with. Words can’t describe just how special these two are and how happy I am for them.

    Kaitlyn and Sean are such an amazing couple. They are absolutely so amazing to work with and to be around. I couldn’t have asked for a better photo session with these two. Lilac Flora did a brilliant job with the wonderful bouquet and headpiece and I loved Kaitlyn’s beautiful BHLDN Dress. Sean looked fantastic as well in his blue suit. The smiles on these two are just infectious. I loved photographing their engagement photos in Salt Lake City earlier this year and have really enjoyed getting to know them. Zion is such a beautiful place for a wedding and Im…

    Springdale Cliffrose Wedding {Katelyn + Eric}

    June 15, 2014

    This beautiful wedding at the Cliffrose Lodge in Springdale was one of my favorite Zion Weddings of the year to photograph.  Forevermore Events did the most incredible job on decor and set up. I love photographing weddings in Zion National Park. Katelyn and Eric were two of the nicest people to work with. Not to mention their wonderful families which were an absolute blast! I got to know the two of them while photographing their engagement pictures in Snow Canyon earlier this year. I knew I was in for some good times! This wedding took place while the National Parks were…

    Zion National Park is a stunning destination wedding location. I had the opportunity to be the photographer for Heather and Chris’ wedding. Forevermore Events did all of the setup for the beautiful wedding ceremony under the cotton wood tree by the Lodge in Zion. People come from all over the world to visit Zion and with its towering sandstone cliffs, breathtaking vistas, and hikes, its no wonder why. Heather and Chris made their destination wedding in Zion a day to remember. They are from two opposite ends of the US. Chris from the east coast, and Heather from the islands…

    Virgin River Engagement { Kylie + Garrett }

    December 24, 2013

    Kylie and Garrets engagement pictures by the Virgin River in Southern Utah were beautiful. They are a fantastic couple and I love working with them. The river this time of year with all of the high grass is beautiful. We were blessed with perfect weather for this fall engagement session. Southern Utah provides so many unique places to shoot and photographing these two could never get old.

    Southern Utah Family Photos {Moore Family}

    September 24, 2013

    One of my favorite sessions of each year is photographing the Moore Family. This year we photographed their family at the Kayenta Reservoir. It is a beautiful spot and is a great contrast to some of their previous sessions. I have been working with the Moores for about five years now. We first photographed their family not far from where this session took place. Our next session was quite a bit farther away, but like the beautiful lake in this session water was our inspiration shooting at the beach in San Diego. The Desert of Red Rock in Las Vegas…
