    Zion National Park Snow Engagement Teaser

    March 11, 2015

    Its not often that the snow falls in Southern Utah but when it does it can make for some pretty spectacular photos. I love the look of the snow on the saturated sandstone cliffs. I was pretty excited to photograph the engagement recently of Sarah & Braden in Zion National Park. The snow was on the ground yet the temperature was a perfect 70 degrees outside. We took off on an engagement photo adventure and came up with some pretty awesome images to document the love that these two share. Keep posted for more photos from this beautiful couples engagement…

    Zion Overlook Engagement {Cassidy + Aaron}

    February 24, 2015

    I have so enjoyed photographing this lovely couple. I have had the opportunity to work with Cassidy and her family many times over the years starting with her sisters wedding, and then her Senior Pictures near Zion. Todays post is a bit different. Cassidy wrote down her loves story with Aaron and is sharing it with all of you. Enjoy! Aaron and I had our first date at the end of April 2014. We were both kind of seeing someone else, and I lived in St. George at the time (he was in Provo) so we weren’t really expecting much…

    Utah Red Rock Engagement {Morgan+Marcello}

    February 19, 2015

    Photographing weddings and engagements in the red rocks of Southern Utah is always so awe inspiring. Morgan and Marcello came in from out of town to be photographed in the slender of Snow Canyon State Park. The amazing red rock formations of petrified sand dunes mixed with the giant sand dune cliffs and green trees and foliage make for such a unique place for photos. As a destination wedding photographer I travel all over the world photographing couples and am still always so inspired by what I have right here in my own back yard. Still I’m looking forward to…

    Zion Utah Family Portraits {Shallenberger Family}

    February 1, 2015

    Families come from all over the world to visit Zion National Park and experience its amazing beauty. I love photographing families that visit Zion and Southern Utah. The Shallenberger Family wanted to capture their family in the park and a bit of what they love so much about Zion as well. Getting family pictures done in Zion while you are visiting is such a fantastic way to remember your incredible visit to the park. There really are few places on earth that are as mind blowing as Zion. There really is no better way to remember ones trip then with…

    Southern Utah Mother & Son Time {Kori+Maddox}

    January 24, 2015

    Kori and I have been instagram buddies for a while so when she contacted me about photographing her and her beautiful son Maddox I was thrilled. They are so close and have so much fun together. I wanted to really capture who they are together. We started the session at her house where Maddox was able to play with some of his favorite things. Legos and Trains. It was so great getting to photograph them in their environment. Nathan Pickett of NP Films came with me for this shoot to do a video of the two of them as well.…

    Southern Utah Family Photos {The Terry Family}

    January 15, 2015

    Many families come from all around the US and the world to visit Southern Utah. While visiting the area its such a great idea to schedule a family photo session. There is no place like Southern Utah. Weather it be a family session above the towering cliffs of Zion National Park or at of of our serene desert lakes, there are so many places to choose from. The Terry Family decided to do their family photography session in Snow Canyon State Park. I photographed Chris and Ashly’s Wedding in Snow Canyon about a year earlier and was so glad to…

    Amazing Snow Canyon Bridal {Abby+Mike}

    January 5, 2015

    There is not time of year more beautiful in Southern Utah then the fall for wedding photos. At least that is the way felt after photographing this beautiful session with this gorgeous couple. Not so long ago I had the chance to work with Abby and Mike for their engagement photos in Southern Utah. Neither of them live in the area but made the trip for both their engagements and their bridal photos. The wild flowers growing all over the ground is such an amazing contrast to the sage brush, black lava rock and petrified sand dunes of Snow Canyon…

    St George Red Rock Engagement Photos {Shanna+John}

    November 10, 2014

    Many couples travel from all over to come to the breathtaking red rocks of Southern Utah. Shanna & John traveled all the way from Sovanna Georgia one of my favorite areas, to come and do their engagement photos in Snow Canyon State Park. I loved their casual yet dressy southern style. The pink and blue they wore up against the green and red of Snow Canyon was stunning. There are few places as beautiful, and few couples as beautiful either! John is a helicopter pilot for the Army and with that they travel quite a bit. I can’t wait to…

    Sand Dunes Engagement Session {Sarah + Dustin}

    September 13, 2014

    I had the opportunity recently to photograph this lovely couple for their engagement session. A couple years ago I photographed Sarah’s brothers engagement photo session in Snow Canyon. She loved that session so much that she wanted to do her engagement photos in Southern Utah as well. There are so many different spots in the area and I love that we shot in a similar location but with a very different overall feel to the backdrop. Sarah and Dustin are such a beautiful could and I had so much fun laughing and joking around with these two. I loved their…

    I absolutely loved photographing this engagement session. From Washington DC to Southern Utah for their engagement session, Im so glad to be the wedding photographer for Adria and Suj. They are just so wonderful to work with. Photographing their engagement session in St George was fantastic. They are both professionals living in DC though Adria grew up in St George. Their wedding at Entrada later this year is going to be amazing. Suj is Indian and I’m so excited for all of the wonderful traditional dress and color that will be there. I loved photographing these two both in downtown…

    Its no secret that Snow Canyon is one of the most beautiful State Parks in Utah. This Groomal session with Mikele and Chris was one of my favorites.

    Brian is a fireman and Liz thought it would be a lot of fun to include his Turnouts for some of their bridal photos. Turns out it really was! Turnouts are the fire retardant cloths that fireman wear when they fight fires. With the fiery red rock cliffs of Snow Canyon it worked out perfectly. I love photographing couples in Snow Canyon so much. It really is such a serene and yet awe inspiring environment. The day was beautiful as was this couple.
