    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…

    Winter Zion National Park Engagement {Braden+Sara}

    January 4, 2017

    Engagement Proposals in Zion National park happen all year long, but the winter is the off season for Zion National Park. People don’t associate Zion with snow, but we do get it from time to time, and when it happens, it is beyond breathtaking. I loved photographing the engagement of Sara and Braden in Zion National Park in the winter. I love the warmth of the red and orange sandstone mixed with the cold snow. It makes for such beautiful and interesting photo backdrops. As a wedding photographer in Southern Utah I have the opportunity to work often in Zion,…

    Tower Butte Powell Wedding {Lisa+Brian}

    September 14, 2016

    Lake Powell Wedding Photographer Tower Butte Helicopter Wedding I had the unique opportunity to photograph Lisa and Brian’s wedding on top of Tower Butte. Rising 5,000 feet above sea level, Tower Butte is one of the most unique formations anywhere, providing the perfect setting for a unique and amazing wedding! After we boarded our helicopters in Page we flew eastward over Antelope Canyon, Land of the Navajo Nation and Lake Powell. We passed over horseshoe bend and flew on and up to Tower Butte. I was blown away by the views and just how amazing this spot is for a wedding. It is much bigger on…

    Temple Wedding Cedar City {Terra+Derek}

    September 6, 2016

    The Cedar City temple is going to be a beautiful spot for a wedding. At this point though its still not finished so as it has always been, couples from Cedar City come down to the St George temple to be married. Terra and Derek came down from Cedar City where they held their reception later in the day to be married in the St George temple. I first meat these two for their engagement session in Southern Utah. We photographed their bridals as well and had a wonderful time from start to finish working with these two and their…

    Bozeman Wedding {Lena+Keir}

    September 1, 2016

    Bozeman Wedding Photographer Yellowstone Wedding Photographer I just can’t say enough good things about working with and photographing this amazing couple! Their wedding in Bozeman Montana was an absolute dream. Not far from Yellow Stone National Park, Bozeman is nestled below stunning green hills and mountains. The weather throughout the day changed by the minute. At one point I thought it would be an absolute downpour with dark clouds looming overhead. The next moment the sun would come back out to play. This kind of weather makes for some stunning skies for photos, which is always a good thing! I had…

    Lake Powell Wedding {Jaime+Jake}

    July 11, 2016

    Jaime & Jake have a love for the outdoors. They were planning to do a family trip to Lake Powell and decided to combine it with their nuptials to make for the perfect destination wedding in one of the most stunning locations in the world. Lake Powell is an amazing location for a wedding. The towering sandstone cliffs jutting out of the crystal blue water make for one of the most jaw dropping landscapes anywhere. People come from all over to experience this wondrous area. The recreation is a big draw for any lake, but this is especially true for…

    Bozeman Montana Wedding {Lena+Keir}

    April 21, 2016

    Over about a year of wedding planning I really enjoyed working with Lena and Keir. I first meat up with them while photographing their engagement photos in Park City about a year before the wedding. I immediately loved working with these two! A couple months before their wedding we meat back up to photograph their bridal session at Tibble Fork reservoir. I was so happy to travel out to Bozeman Montana to photograph their beautiful wedding. Bozeman is only about an hour or so away from Yellowstone National Park. It is a beautiful city and was so perfect for a destination…

    Tibble Fork Sunset Engagement {Alyssa+Ryan}

    March 2, 2016

    The Alpine Loop is a stunning location for engagement and wedding photos. I especially like The Tibble Fork Reservoir area for engagement photos. I love the pine trees, mixed with aspen. I love the green water of the reservoir. I of course love the views of the mountains in the background. The location is stunning. The only thing better for this session was this amazing couple. They were a stunning couple and we so great to photograph. We had an awesome time hiking around and finding some beautiful spots to make some engagements photo magic. It was a blast hanging out…

    Albion Basin Engagement {Laura+Tanner}

    February 16, 2016

    I love photographing couples in amazing places. Albion Basin is an absolutely stunning location for a photo session of any kind. I loved hiking around with Laura & Tanner for this romantic session full of laughs and amazing scenery. Engagement sessions are one of my favorites. I love to get to know a couple in a casual setting. It makes the wedding day that much more fun when I already have a great relationship with the couple I am photographing. I loved working with Laura & Tanner. I actually photographed Laura’s sisters wedding several years ago and absolutely adore their family.…

    Tibble Fork Summer Bridal {Lena+Keir}

    October 6, 2015

    Las year at about the same time I meat up with these two to photograph their amazing engagement session in Park City. I had been looking forward ever since to photographing their bridal session. Their wedding is in Montana so we knew we wanted a beautiful green mountain look not only to mesh well with the engagement session, but with the wedding day as well. I love the Alpine Loop in Utah and all that it has to offer for photographs. The Tibble Fork Reservoir has become very popular since the time I first started photographing couples there. It can…

    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.…

    This stunning summer engagement session up the Alpine Loop at the Tibble Fork Reservoir was too beautiful for words. Jen and Keegan are such an awesome couple and besides the fact that they are absolutely gorgeous the are so down to earth and fun. I loved spending time with these two, walking up the flower covered mountains and down by the beautiful emerald green lake. The misty fog in the background by the lake was absolute perfection for these engagement photos. Jen and Keegan’s wedding will be taking place in the winter near Park City. Michelle Leo Events will be…
