    Utah Capital Building Wedding {Jasmine+Erik}

    May 29, 2017

    Wedding at the Utah State Capital SLC Wedding Photographer The Utah State Capital is an amazing building full of fantastic architecture and charm. It is right up the hill from the Salt Lake Temple, which was perfect for these two. Jasmine and Erik’s wedding day began at the Salt Lake LDS Temple. From there they had their reception for their wedding at the Utah State Capital. I loved photographing Jasmine and Erik’s reception at the Utah State Capital Building. The Capital building is an absolutely unique and regal location for a wedding. A rainy wedding day Jasmine and Erik’s day started at the Salt Lake City LDS Temple just blocks…

    Utah Capital Building Pre Wedding {Andy+Lin}

    March 29, 2017

    Utah State Capital Engagement Photos SLC Wedding Photographer I love photographing Utah State Capital Engagement sessions. Few places in Utah have the grand Greco Roman architecture of the Utah Capital building in Salt Lake City. I love the colors, lines and texture of the capital building. I was so glad when Andy and Lin decided they wanted some of their engagement photos at the Capital Building. We photographed the second half of their session at the capital. We had so much rain as we were driving there from Silverlake. I was so worried we wouldn’t be able to photograph them at the Capital…

    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.…

    Salt Lake Memory Grove Wedding {Madeline+Brandon}

    February 19, 2015

    One of the most beautiful locations for a wedding and nestled in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City is Memory Grove. The vast green lawns, meandering stream and amazing architecture make for such a wonderful wedding venue. Madeline and Brandon were married at one of the sites on the grounds. I love the classic Greco Roman architecture that was the backdrop for their wedding ceremony. Their first look beforehand just outside of Memory Grove building made for such an amazing moment. I love first looks when they are possible because it frees up so much more time after the…

    Garden Park Ward Engagement { Madeline + Brandon }

    February 19, 2014

    Garden Park Ward near downtown Salt Lake City was perfect for Madeline and Brandon’s Engagement Pictures. Madeline’s mother is a photographer so she was so happy to be in front of the camera. I love the atmosphere that Garden Park provides. The landscape is mature and beautiful and there are so many great and unique features. These session was photographed in the early spring but before the leaves had begun to grow. I love the look with the beautiful way they are dressed and in such light sweet colors. Engagement photos are a real chance for a couple to show…

    MillCreek Inn UBB Fall Feature

    March 30, 2012

      The fabulous team at Mood Events shares with us a little about their design concept and how they brought their vision to life:   It’s difficult to select just one style to describe the overall look and feel of this fall photo shoot.  Altogether, it is an eclectic mix of styles and various elements that form a cohesive and non-traditional fall-inspired look.  Some of the styles incorporated into the overall design aesthetic include rustic and natural elements, modern patterns, whimsical flower arrangements and bold colors, honey, bees, fruits, berries and grains to invoke a sense of harvest and bounty, and lets…

    Garden Park Ward Engagement (Sarah + Leslie)

    April 20, 2011

    I had the opportunity to go to Salt Lake City to photograph Sarah and Leslie’s Engagement session at the Garden Park Ward in Sugarhouse. This building and its landscape are so unique and beautiful. Beautiful architecture, gardens, and water features make it the perfect wedding and photography spot. There are amazing ponds and waterfalls along with great architecture from the early 1920’s. Sarah and Leslie were a great couple to work with. Botha  lot of fun, and very much in love!

    Summer and Brandon are one of my favorite couples. They both do long distance biking, and actually met on a bike. Summer is a serious trooper, she was sick the day of her bridals, but toughed through it like a champ. So much fun, and you cant beat the beautiful backdrop.
