    Southern Utah Spring Engagement {Amanda+Mason}

    May 16, 2016

    More often then not when couples ask me what to wear for their engagement session I really try to encourage them to be themselves… their best selves. Amanda and Mason needed no coaching. They came dressed to impress and I absolutely loved working with them for their engagement photo session. Their session took place in the beginning of Spring. We knew we wanted it to have that green spring feel. The weather was beautiful and the trees with the golden light of the afternoon were stunning. I loved photographing the love these two have for one another. The golf course…

    St George Golf Course Bridal {Jessica+Jordan}

    November 20, 2015

    So often when people think of the desert of Southern Utah it is the red rock desert that comes to mind. The truth is though St George is full of life and color. I was so glad to have photographed Jessica and Jordan’s bridal session at Dixie Red Hills Golf Course. I loved photographing their engagement session in Heber Utah a few months before and was looking forward to working with them again. Bridal sessions can be a lot of fun. I love photographing a couple in their wedding attire without the time and location restraints so often associated with…

    Summer Golf Course Engagement {Mckell+Tui}

    November 6, 2015

    Instagram has become such a great place to share a little of what I do on a daily basis with my photography. Every so often I will run an instagram contest to try and help a couple or family get the photos they have dreamed of, but maybe couldn’t alway budget for. If you haven’t already started following my instagram, be sure to jump on there for the change to win your own session. Mckell & Tui entered a Instagram contest I held during the summer. There were hundreds of entries and I was so thrilled for this special pair to…

    Desert Landscape Engagement { Kashae + Aaron }

    July 14, 2014

    I love photographing Engaged couples. There really is no happier time the the excitement leading up to a wedding. Kashae and Aaron are such an amazing couple and I absolutely had a blast working with them. Aaron is so funny and cool and Kashae is just so sweet and beautiful. We had a blast! For their engagement photos we really wanted to capture the essence of Southern Utah. The red rocks and rolling desert, and the rivers and ravines. Even a bit of historical rustic architecture as well. I love the landscape of Southern Utah. Its no wonder that so…

    Kanab Utah Wedding { Alexa + Matt }

    April 7, 2014

    Alexa and Matt’s wedding in Kanab Utah was stunning. Photographing them throughout the wedding process has been so great. From doing their engagement pictures, to Alexa’s bridal photos in Snow Canyon, they have been a blast to work with. I loved Alexa’s beautiful home where her wedding took place. Thy have a perfect tuscan style villa that overlooks the canyons below and red rock mesas in the distance. Alexa and her family did all of the decor and setup, which as you can see was extensive and impressive. I felt like I had been transported to Italy for this wedding,…

    Dixie Red Rock Engagement { Mikele + Chris }

    February 14, 2014

    Mikele and Chris made the trip down from Cedar City to do their engagement photos in the Red Rocks of St George. They really love the atmosphere that Southern Utah offers and wanted to capture that in their pictures. We started the session downtown on the streets near Green Gate Village and made our way up to Pioneer Park. Saint George has some of the most amazing landscapes in the world. Its so awesome to be able to access them right in our own back yard. These two were so much fun and Im beyond excited to be working with…
