Photographing Lauren & Chance for their engagement session in Southern Utah was a blast! Many years ago now I photographed Lauren’s brothers wedding at the St George temple. I then had the great opportunity to work with their family again for her sister Cambri’s wedding in Salt Lake City at the Temple. I adore her family and always love working with them! Lauren is so upbeat and fun and I was so excited to work with her for her engagement photos and wedding. Chance is a great guy. It was great getting to know him through the process. Together they…

Snow Canyon Overlook Engagement Photography I love photographing couples getting married in and around Southern Utah. Chelsea & Michael made the trek down from Cedar City where they live and will be having their wedding reception to have their engagements in Snow Canyon. This is one of my favorite state parks in Utah. It is absolutely stunning with its red rock sandstone cliffs and vast overlooks. I love the contrast of color and beautiful textures in the Lava rock, and different tones of rocks mixed with the trees and sage brush. Its no wonder that couples come from all over…

Jade and Ben both live in Southern Utah and love the Toquerville area. We were lucky enough to photograph their engagements at a big pond that belongs to one of Ben’s friends. I loved the look and feel of this beautiful engagement session. Jade is originally from Haiti in the Caribbean and has such a sweet presence about her. Together she and Ben make such a beautiful couple. We had a lot of fun photographing their engagement photos around the pond just relaxing and having a great time!

Being a wedding photographer in Utah lends to so many possibilities for amazing locations. For Abby and Mikes engagement photography we decided to do something very outdoorsy but with a Southern Utah feel to it. They loved the idea of being near the water. We started the session on a bit of an adventure and ended up in a wash and small stream. The previous week we had some heavy flooding in St George so this area looked different then any time I had been there in the past. It was a lot of fun minus the quicksand that we…

Few couples better personify the feeling of love then Joelle and Kyle. I love photographing these two! They are a stunning couple that love to laugh and have a great time. They love all things water so we really tried to capitalize on that in their engagement session. We took advantage of some of one of the wonderful streams and reservoirs in the area for the photo session. These two look like they were born for the beach and I love the casual California vibe of their second outfit. Not to mention Joelles super cute sun hat that she wore…

Karissa and Randy’s engagement pictures in the rustic woods by a stream in Southern Utah were awesome. The colors were perfect and so were they. The couple came in from California for their session so it was a real change of scenery for them. The different areas around St George offer such great variety. Most often people think of Red Rock when picturing Southern Utah for photos, but we can really find almost any look. The cliffs, stream and large cottonwood trees made for a stunning backdrop, but these two were the stars for sure. Ending their engagement session getting a…

I have had the pleasure to work with Jessica’s family in the past, and I was so excited to photograph Jessica’s Engagements. Jessica and Ryan made the trip to St George for engagement photos from Las Vegas and Provo. We decided to take advantage of one of the many reservoirs in the area and the surrounding desert scape. The weather was amazing as it usually is in Southern Utah and we were blessed with an amazing Southern Utah sunset as well. Jessica and Ryan had such great chemistry which made their pictures that much better. I love to have a…

Winter is here and I have been looking back at photos and longing for warmer times. This was such a fun engagement shoot with Caitlin and Jacob in Pine Valley Utah. I love the shots with the double bicycle not to mention just how cute these two are! Pine Valley is one of my favorite place to take pictures. When photographing a couple one of the first things we discuss is location. Of course the red rock is always a fantastic option, but for those looking for the smell of pine trees and the cool mountain air Pine Valley is…

Kylie and Garrets engagement pictures by the Virgin River in Southern Utah were beautiful. They are a fantastic couple and I love working with them. The river this time of year with all of the high grass is beautiful. We were blessed with perfect weather for this fall engagement session. Southern Utah provides so many unique places to shoot and photographing these two could never get old.

I just loved photographing this great couples engagement pictures in Brian Head. They wanted to capture the fall colors which of course we only have a short window for. Malissa and Scott have such great chemistry and are really a joy to be around. The weather in Brian Head was so beautiful and I was so glad that we ended up finding some of the fall color. We have so much diversity in Southern Utah and I love to be able to photograph new spots. I had the chance to photograph Malissa’s Sister a couple years earlier and am so…

Part of Miranda and Ryan’s Southern Utah Red Rock engagement session was recently featured on Utah Bride Blog. You can see those images HERE. This is the second half of the super fun engagement session. Summers in Southern Utah can be hot hot hot… luckily we found a good way to cool off for this session! The cloudy day mixed with the Red Rock background and beautiful lake in Southern Utah made for the perfect engagement session. When photographing a couple I always try to create a fun and spontaneous atmosphere. Miranda and Ryan were so keen to play along and get…

Photographing engagement sessions has got to be one of my favorite things. Taylor and Chase’s engagement session in Pine Valley in Southern Utah was so much fun. I had meat Chase before as he works for Forevermore Events. He is such a humble and nice guy. Taylor was equally nice, and together they were so much fun. I love to get to know the people I am photographing and feeling like they are great friends by the time the session is over. The fact that we have pine trees and a forest within reach of St George is awesome. These…
