    Pine Valley Snow Pre Wedding {Jaycee+Tyler}

    March 17, 2017

    Utah Wedding Photographer Pine Valley Snow Pre Wedding As a wedding photographer in Utah, I have learned to embrace and enjoy the seasons. One of my favorite seasons for photos has to be Winter. I absolutely love sessions in the snow! When looking for a winter look a Pine Valley Snow Bridal is a must! Granted, they are much tougher logistically. They can be wet, cold and windy. The wind can be blowing and the snow falling all at the same time. That being said, they are also so romantic and beautiful. There is something about flakes of snow falling, that makes…

    Chilly Winter Engagement {Erika+Levi}

    March 10, 2017

    Pine Valley Engagement Photos Southern Utah Wedding Photographer People don’t always associated Southern Utah with snow. Pine Valley Winter Engagement photo sessions are some of my favorites. Right here in Southern Utah we have a number of spots that have a decent amount of snow throughout the winter. Pine Valley is one of the best spots for snow for engagement photos. I love the winter and the wonderful feel of the season. Only about 40 minutes from St George, Pine Valley has amazing pine trees, mountains and lots of snow! I had such a fun time with Erika and Levi.…

    Leeds Creek Engagement {Jaycee+Tyler}

    January 10, 2017

    St George Engagement Photographer Southern Utah Fall Engagement Photos I loved this rustic fall engagement session with Jaycee and Tyler. Over ten years ago I met Jaycee when I photographed her sisters wedding in San Diego. She has grown up a lot since then! It was so fun going around with Jaycee and Tyler of their engagement photos near Leeds in Southern Utah. There is a lot of history in the Leeds and Silver Reef area. The mining industry in the area was a large reason for the growth of Southern Utah in the late 1800’s. I am a bit…

    Fall Leaves in Southern Utah Engagement Teaser

    October 18, 2016

    Every year we get wonderful fall colors to photograph in Southern Utah. This year however might have been the best I have ever seen. Yesterday I had an amazing fall engagement session and was blown away by the color. Fall leaves in engagement photos are tricky. You have to hit it at just the right time, on just the right day, in just the right location to get them at their best. Zion National park is amazing for fall colors. Oranges, reds and yellow leaves turn the park to the most amazing shades of rainbow. I absolutely loved this fall…

    Pine Valley Utah Engagement {Ali+Cory}

    September 22, 2016

    Ali and Cory’s engagement session in Pine Valley was absolute perfection. These two love the outdoors and Pine Valley was the perfect spot for their engagement photos. I had a great time hiking around the mountains and near the lake with these two. Cory loves to fish so the reservoir was especially perfect to represent him for their photos. I love the interaction between these two and the love the have for one another. Its also a huge plus that regardless of how hot it might be in St George, Pine Valle is always a nice respite from the heat.…

    November 13, 2014

    I have had the wonderful opportunity to get to know the Childs Family over the years having photographed now three of their daughters.

    Winter Southern Utah Wedding {styled shoot}

    February 25, 2014

    I recently photographed this lovely shoot for Saint George Weddings style guide. Its not often that we have Snow in Southern Utah so with the timing being what it was we decided to take advantage of it. Laura of Forevermore Events did an outstanding job on this romantic winter wonderland wedding inspiration. The amazing floral was provided by none other then Bloomers. They always do such a phenomenal job on every floral project. I loved the rustic feel of this very white wintery wedding. Hopefully you perspective brides will be inspired for you winter 2014 weddings!

    More fun with Kimball and Jacen. After photographing their engagement, I was so excited work with them again on their bridal pictures. This we had a little time playing in the snow. We decided to do their bridal session in Pine Valley Utah. Yes we do get snow in Southern Utah and it can be such a treat.  It makes for such a unique environment this time of year. I loved working with these guys, and no mater what the situation we had fun!
