    Utah Capital Building Wedding {Jasmine+Erik}

    May 29, 2017

    Wedding at the Utah State Capital SLC Wedding Photographer The Utah State Capital is an amazing building full of fantastic architecture and charm. It is right up the hill from the Salt Lake Temple, which was perfect for these two. Jasmine and Erik’s wedding day began at the Salt Lake LDS Temple. From there they had their reception for their wedding at the Utah State Capital. I loved photographing Jasmine and Erik’s reception at the Utah State Capital Building. The Capital building is an absolutely unique and regal location for a wedding. A rainy wedding day Jasmine and Erik’s day started at the Salt Lake City LDS Temple just blocks…

    Utah Capital Building Pre Wedding {Andy+Lin}

    March 29, 2017

    Utah State Capital Engagement Photos SLC Wedding Photographer I love photographing Utah State Capital Engagement sessions. Few places in Utah have the grand Greco Roman architecture of the Utah Capital building in Salt Lake City. I love the colors, lines and texture of the capital building. I was so glad when Andy and Lin decided they wanted some of their engagement photos at the Capital Building. We photographed the second half of their session at the capital. We had so much rain as we were driving there from Silverlake. I was so worried we wouldn’t be able to photograph them at the Capital…

    Salt Lake LDS Temple Wedding {Tisha+Tyler}

    February 6, 2017

    Salt Lake City Wedding Photographer SLC Temple Wedding Getting to know Tisha and Tyler has been an absolute joy! I loved photographing their wedding in Salt Lake City. They were married at the SLC LDS Temple, and had their backyard reception later that day. They had many traditional Mexican elements. Needless to say that means it was a great party! Lots of dancing and mariachi music. It was so fun with miniature golf, and delicious treats. I photographed Tisha and Tyler’s engagement session in Southern Utah, and had the best time with the two of them. I was so thrilled…

    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…

    Zion True North Wedding Teaser

    November 1, 2014

    Zion National Park really is one of the most amazing places on the planet for a wedding. Joann and Dimitri came from out of town with their family to experience its wonder and beauty for their wedding day. They tied the knot in their own unique way with a wooden hand made circular backdrop and a fun State Fair themed Party after. What a fun idea for a wedding, and so enjoyable for the kids and the kids in everyone! They were a beautiful couple and were only matched by the beauty of Zion National Park.

    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…

    I can’t say enough how much I love working with this amazing couple. I first had the opportunity to photograph Kellie and Jesse for their engagement session in Sevilla Spain . The Draper temple is a beautiful place and I loved photographing  their wedding there. Their wedding reception took place at  the Highland Gardens a beautiful green house venue located in Highland Utah. Kellie and Jesse are full of personality and are so fun to be around. They are beautiful inside and out and I feel so glad to know them both!

    Photographing weddings at the beautiful SLC LDS Temple in downtown Salt Lake is always amazing. The buildings downtown have amazing architecture, and there is always a number of spots with wonderful lighting . This Fall wedding even had the beautiful fall colors. I had the opportunity to photograph Ashton and Mitchell’s Engagement session a few months prior, and then their Bridal Session in SLC more recently. They are a beautiful couple inside and out, and are so fun to work with. I really enjoyed their families as well. Their reception at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building was really special. They had…
