    Alpine Loop Bridal Photos {Joelle+Kyle}

    December 7, 2014

    Driving up the alpine loop in the fall for wedding related photos is absolutely stunning. I had the amazing chance to photograph Joelle and Kyle at Tibble Fork Reservoir in Utah off of the Alpine Loop. The fall colors were in full force and the backdrop was absolutely stunning. I had the opportunity to do their engagement photography in Southern Utah a few months earlier and loved working with them then. They have such a fun and carefree style and attitude about them. They are an absolutely beautiful couple and I loved their fresh style. There isn’t a bad time…

    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.

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…

    October 4, 2014

    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!

    Modeling Test Shoot {Joy Bishop}

    August 7, 2014

    Every so often I make trips out to Southern California to photograph head shots for models and actors. Joy is a working actor and model in Los Angeles and need a few new head shots by request of her agent. When a model or actor changes their hair or look in any way the agents often want new photos to represent them better. I always have a great time photographing Joy and was happy to hear within a couple days of getting here head shots out she booked several new jobs.

    Utah Desert Engagement {Oriana + Phillip}

    July 3, 2014

    Photographing the engagement session of these two was amazing. Southern Utah is a destination for so many wanting a taste of the awe inspiring south west. Oriana and Phillip made the trip down from Salt Lake City for their engagement photos in the beautiful red rocks of Southern Utah. Taking pictures in Snow Canyon State Park for their engagement session was such a blast. They are an adventurous couple and even brought their dog along for a few shots. I love the huge dream catcher that Oriana made by hand for the shoot. Despite a little wind it worked beautifully for…

    SLC LDS Temple Wedding {Ashton + Mitchell}

    May 20, 2014

    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…

    Heartwood Hall Tennessee Wedding {Emily + Ben}

    May 15, 2014

    One of my favor destination weddings to photograph was Emily and Ben’s beautiful event at Heartwood Hall just outside of Memphis Tennessee. Heartwood Hall is an old plantation property with all of the Southern Charm you could ever want. Speaking of charm, Emily and Ben are just about the cutest couple out there and their love was infectious. Emily wanted pictures of a first look before the wedding ceremony which was taking place at sunset. This was one of the most emotional first looks I have photographed. Ben’s love for Emily on their wedding day was overwhelming. Lets back up…

    SLC Garden Place Wedding {Stephanie + Joel}

    April 28, 2014

    Photographing this wedding reception at The Garden Place in Salt Lake was amazing. Stephanie and Joel were married at the Salt Lake City Temple and had their reception at The Garden Place, at This is The Place. I loved photographing weddings at the temple. I feel like there are so many amazing spots that I can always find something new and fresh for the photos. The architecture is fantastic and so unique. I really enjoy all of the different old buildings near by as well. After photographing their engagements and Bridal photos in Salt Lake I was so excited to…

Salt Lake City is a wonderful place for a wedding and the Heritage Park at This Is The Place is one of my favorite venues. We recently did their engagement photos in Salt Lake City and I just love working with these two.

    Lake Powell Wedding {Allison + Adrian}

    April 13, 2014

    Allison and Adrian were married on the shores of the breathtaking Lake Powell at the Lake Powell Resort. I love to drive up on lake powell and see the emerald waters surrounded by the Red Rock. It really is other worldly. Being the wedding photographer at this Lake Powell wedding was amazing. Some of the guests were from the area as Allison grew up in Page AZ near Lake Powell. Adrian’s wonderful friends and family came in from all over. These two were really a wonderful couple and I loved photographing them. When doing wedding pictures at the otherworldly Lake…

    Bridal in Snow Canyon { Alexa }

    March 29, 2014

    Photographing Alexa for her bridals at Snow Canyon was an absolute delight. Her gorgeous dress from “The Brides’Shop” in Salt Lake was a real stunner against the lava and red rock of Southern Utah. I always love being able to photograph beautiful brides in dresses that have a timeless feel to them.  She chose a classically romantic soft updo by the talented stylist Julie Thomas. Her great style carried over to her gorgeous bouquet of flowers, that was created by Alexa and her sister. I had been looking forward to shooting the bridals after photographing her great engagement session with…
