    Dixie Red Hills Engagement Photos | Chloe and Preston

    April 11, 2023

    Chloe and Preston chose Dixie Red Hills Golf Course in St. George, Utah, for their spring engagement photos. The course offered a completely different look from the open desert and red rock canyons typically associated with Southern Utah. Mature trees, rolling green fairways, ponds, and sandstone cliffs gave us several distinct backgrounds within one location. Chloe and Preston arrived dressed perfectly for the setting and were relaxed and playful throughout the evening. Spring Engagement Photos in St. George Spring is one of the most beautiful times for engagement photos in St. George. The temperatures are usually more comfortable than summer,…

    Moss Beach Engagement {Laura+Johnny}

    May 16, 2019

    Fitzgerald Marine Reserve Engagement Moss beach at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is one of my absolute favorite places for an engagement session. I have had the opportunity to photograph couples in this area a few times. When I come out to the Half Moon Bay area, I love to a half-moon bay engagement. No matter the time of day or the weather, Moss Beach with its towering trees and stunning ocean views is amazing. The light as it sings through the trees is absolutely magical! I was so thrilled when Laura and Johnny mentioned that they lived only minutes from…

    Venice Canals Engagement {Tracey+Lanney}

    March 16, 2019

    Venice Beach Engagements I love photographing Southern California engagement sessions! The Canals at Venice Beach are a beautiful location for an engagement session. Southern California has countless amazing locals, and Venice has to be one of the coolest spots. I love the stunning canal system and street art of Venice Beach. Tracey and Lanney live in Venice, so it was important to them to have their engagement photos there. Their connection to this beautiful place runs deep. I loved getting to experience it with them. Their love is infectious and I had such an incredible time with them. Im looking…

    Albion Basin Engagement Session Cassie and Collin love spending time in the mountains! Their Albion Basin engagement session was absolutely perfect for showing that love! These two have such unbelievable chemistry and I had the best time photographing their engagements! Albion Basin has to be one of my favorite spots in Utah. The light as it comes through the trees and wildflowers is complete magic! Not to mention the views over the valley below. The area is known for its amazing hiking and ski areas. It has also become very popular for photography over the last few years. With extraordinaire views…

I had the wonderful opportunity to recently photograph the wedding of Lindsay and Adam at The Montage. Michelle Leo Events was the coordinator for the wedding and as always, they did a flawless job. They have such an amazing eye for detail, and such great control over the goings on of the day. Lindsay and Adam were in amazing hands. Like most Park City and Deer Valley weddings, this was a destination wedding for all involved. It was wonderful to see how many…

    Guardsman’s Pass Engagement {Carrie+Jeff}

    August 7, 2017

    Park City Wedding Photographer Park City and the Deer Valley area are one of my absolute favorite places to photograph a wedding or engagement session. Carrie and Jeff mentioned that they wanted to have mountains and trees for their engagement photos. I knew guardsman’s pass was the perfect spot to take their photos. I love the mountains, the light and the trees at Guardsman’s pass. The panoramic views though, are what really make this location stand out. It is a breathtaking location with vistas looking over Park City on one side, and Heber on the other. As a Park City, and Deer…

    Utah Capital Building Wedding {Jasmine+Erik}

    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…

This engagement photo session with McKenzie and Adam provided some awesome light! I love the sun shining through the Joshua Trees where we started their photo session. These trees really became the theme of our Joshua Tree Engagement. That being said, there were so many other amazing backdrops by the river! We made our way from the cactus like Joshua Trees to the river. The red rock cliffs mixed with the cool water from the river was…

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…
