    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…

    St Lucia Sugar Beach Wedding {Laura+Uk}

    October 11, 2014

    There really is nowhere like St Lucia for a destination wedding. I recently photographed Laura and Uk’s stunning wedding at the Sugar Beach Resort near Soufriere. The Sugar Beach Resort was formally the Jalousie Plantation. It was an old Sugar Plantation from the early days of St Lucia. The ruins of the old mill and plantation still visible on the property. The small bungalows and villas scattered throughout the property make for such a fantastic wedding venue and resort. Laura and Uk’s wedding took place on the sunset plaza at the top of the hill in-between the two Pitons overlooking…

    Sugar Beach Resort St Lucia Wedding

    July 19, 2014

    I had the amazing opportunity to photograph a recent St Lucia wedding at the Sugar Beach Resort in St Lucia. The Caribbean is such an amazing place for a destination wedding. The crystal clear ocean and towering green pitons make for the perfect wedding location. When traveling to St Lucia or any of the other islands for a wedding its always a good idea to remember lots of sun block. Most of your day will be outside and although St Lucia gets great sunshine, remember its the tropics so it will be rainy pretty often too. This shouldn’t ever dampen…

    Desert Bridal {Jessica & Stephen}

    May 27, 2013

    Jessica and Stephen’s bridal session was absolute perfection. I feel so lucky to have been able to capture it.  The red rock desert landscape of Southern Utah is the ideal place for a wedding. With breathtaking landscapes of Ivins and Snow Canyon State Park this bridal session showcases the extreme natural beauty of the area. Not to mention the extreme beauty of these two. Jessica’s dress was hand made by Illume Gowns. It was absolutely gorgeous and impeccably tailored, not to mention a perfectly unique vintage feel.

    Saint George Temple Wedding Day {Nicole + Wade}

    April 3, 2013

    Saint George is a beautiful place for a wedding, especially at the Saint George Temple downtown. I had a great time photographing Nicole and Wades wedding day. We started the day in St George where the sun was shining bright. NP Films was there to capture not only the temple, but the reception later that afternoon. Be sure to watch both videos below. The reception portion of their day took place in Cedar City where they are both from. Forevermore Events did a fantastic job on their decoration and coordination of the day.
