    Zion Switchback Wedding {Dana+Brian}

    September 28, 2016

    Zion National Park Wedding Zion Utah Wedding Photographer National Parks like Zion have become a popular spot for a destination wedding and for good reason! Travelers come from all around the world to experience the sandstone cliffs and towering mesas of Zion National Park. If you are considering a Zion National Park Wedding, you won’t be sorry. I love photographing weddings in Zion and Springdale. Dana and Brian had their wedding ceremony and reception at The Switchback Bar and Grill. Its a wonderful spot for a wedding!

    Tower Butte Powell Wedding {Lisa+Brian}

    September 14, 2016

    Lake Powell Wedding Photographer Tower Butte Helicopter Wedding I had the unique opportunity to photograph Lisa and Brian’s wedding on top of Tower Butte. Rising 5,000 feet above sea level, Tower Butte is one of the most unique formations anywhere, providing the perfect setting for a unique and amazing wedding! After we boarded our helicopters in Page we flew eastward over Antelope Canyon, Land of the Navajo Nation and Lake Powell. We passed over horseshoe bend and flew on and up to Tower Butte. I was blown away by the views and just how amazing this spot is for a wedding. It is much bigger on…

    Rainy Day Snow Canyon Wedding {Afton+Bryan}

    September 2, 2016

    Snow Canyon Utah Rainy Wedding Day Southern Utah Wedding Photographer Despite being a dark rainy day, I had such a great time photographing the wedding of Afton and Bryan. This was a destination wedding for the two. They were married at the St George Temple, where we meat up with all of their friends and family who visited from out of town. We then took the trip over to Snow Canyon to capture some of the beauty that Southern Utah has to offer. They are such a fun and dynamic couple. I had a great time taking them around to…

    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…

    Lake Powell Wedding {Jaime+Jake}

    July 11, 2016

    Jaime & Jake have a love for the outdoors. They were planning to do a family trip to Lake Powell and decided to combine it with their nuptials to make for the perfect destination wedding in one of the most stunning locations in the world. Lake Powell is an amazing location for a wedding. The towering sandstone cliffs jutting out of the crystal blue water make for one of the most jaw dropping landscapes anywhere. People come from all over to experience this wondrous area. The recreation is a big draw for any lake, but this is especially true for…

    White Rock Desert Engagement {Aimee+Brandon}

    June 7, 2016

    Over the years I have had the great opportunity to photograph some of Aimee’s good friends weddings. I was so happy when she contacted me about photographing this amazing time in her and Brandon’s lives. The two of them were to totally open to me choosing the location when it came to photographing their engagement session. I had scouted out this spot last year and had been waiting for the right shoot to do here. The white rock and unique formations were stunning. I love shooting in the desert at sunset. The light gets so perfect. We couldn’t have asked…

    Snow Canyon Spring Engagement {Courtney+Travis}

    May 23, 2016

    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.…

    Snow Canyon Sunset Bridal {April+Connor}

    February 22, 2016

    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…

    December 7, 2015

    Zion National Park is the perfect place for a wedding. I love photographing weddings in Zion. People travel from all over the world to experience its towering sandstone cliffs, amazing vistas and breathtaking slot canyons. Zion has become known as one of the top destinations for a wedding and with its awe inspiring outdoor appeal it is no wonder why. The weather in Zion is some of the best in the world. I was so excited for Kelly and John to have their wedding at the beautiful Cliffrose Lodge just outside of Zion. Forevermore Events did an amazing job decorating…

    October 21, 2015

    It is no wonder that tourism to Zion National Park has skyrocketed over the past several years. As more people become familiar with Zion more and more people come to be married there. Jordan & Jackson knew they wanted to have their engagement session overlooking Zion. Im so glad they were up for the adventure! We lucked out with some incredible clouds in the sky for their engagement photos, adding an extra element of depth to what is already a spectacular background! I love the overlook with the famous sandstone cliffs of Zion in the background. The day was beautiful,…

    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…
