    Red Rock Snow Canyon Engagement {Macy+Heath}

    July 26, 2016

    I love photographing couples in Southern Utah. Zion National Park and Snow Canyon State Park are two of the best spots for red rock sandstone in Southern Utah. I loved photographing Macy and Heath for their engagement session in Snow Canyon. I don’t know if there is anywhere else as beautiful in Southern Utah. The best part about Snow Canyon compared to Zion is a lack of clouds. Zion is an amazing place to be sure. I like to think of Snow Canyon as a mini Zion. Macy and heath are a beautiful couple inside and out. So fun to…

    I love photographing couples for their engagement photos. This beautiful engagement photo session in Snow Canyon State Park was no different. Courtney often wears a hat so she brought one along for some of the photos. It was so fun, and a great way to show a little bit of who she is. The two of them have such fun style, and amazing personalities. We laughed and joked as we hiked around the red rock and lava flows of Snow Canyon. The sandstone cliffs and formations always make for such an amazing time in Snow Canyon. I am constantly amazed…

    White Rock Utah Engagement {Jasmine+Erik}

    March 22, 2016

    I had a great time photographing this engagement session. When talking about Southern Utah, most people think first and foremost of the red rock cliffs and mesas of places like Zion National Park and Snow Canyon. I love the white sandstone area above Snow Canyon for its stark contrast to the typical red rock. When I’m photographing anyone in this area I love to get a good pop of contrast from what they are wearing. Jasmine & Erik came dressed to impress. Jasmine’s red and green dresses along with Erik in his tux looked amazing against the white desert landscape.…

    I recently had the opportunity to photograph April & Connor’s bridal session starting at the LDS Temple in St George and then moving on to finish their bridal session in Snow Canyon State Park. I am a big fan of both of these locations. I love the architecture and grounds of the temple. I photograph weddings at the LDS Temple often and its always such a pleasure. Snow Canyon is one of my favorite places anywhere, and even more so when we get so lucky to have an amazing sky. The weather was pretty fantastic for photos with these two. They…

    Moroccan-Mediterranean Wedding Inspiration

    August 10, 2015

    I had the awesome opportunity to do a shoot that I had been thinking about doing for a long time. I love the colors associated with Morocco and the Mediterranean and wanted to convey the feel of a Moroccan wedding in a styled wedding shoot. I loved photographing this amazing inspirational shoot against the redneck slot canyons and cliffs of Southern Utah. The awe inspiring decor by Forevermore Events and Bloomers was absolutely incredible. The cake by Sweet Cakes by Karen was mind blowing and the food by Cappelettis was mouth watering and oh so beautiful. I love photographing weddings…

    As a photographer I have the chance to photograph weddings in some amazing places. True North in Zion Utah is just one of those amazing places.

They both have a love for the outdoors and there really isn’t anywhere that encapsulates the beauty of nature like Zion National Park. Molly & Chris are both members of the US Navy and are true patriots. Their love for country mixed with their love of nature was carried throughout their wedding details and theme.

    Spring Mountain Ranch Engagement Photos {Samantha+Jake}

    June 18, 2015

    There are few places as beautiful in The area around Las Vegas as Spring Mountain Ranch State Park for engagement photos. I was so glad when Samantha and Jake decided to have their engagement photos taken there. I love the look and feel around the area. Such beautiful colors with all of the trees and grass. It really is a world apart from the rest of Las Vegas. Samantha & Jake both work in the News Industry which is how they met. They are such a fun couple and are so genuinely kind.
