    Chilly Winter Engagement {Erika+Levi}

    March 10, 2017

    Pine Valley Engagement Photos Southern Utah Wedding Photographer People don’t always associated Southern Utah with snow. Pine Valley Winter Engagement photo sessions are some of my favorites. Right here in Southern Utah we have a number of spots that have a decent amount of snow throughout the winter. Pine Valley is one of the best spots for snow for engagement photos. I love the winter and the wonderful feel of the season. Only about 40 minutes from St George, Pine Valley has amazing pine trees, mountains and lots of snow! I had such a fun time with Erika and Levi.…

    Leeds Creek Engagement {Jaycee+Tyler}

    January 10, 2017

    St George Engagement Photographer Southern Utah Fall Engagement Photos I loved this rustic fall engagement session with Jaycee and Tyler. Over ten years ago I met Jaycee when I photographed her sisters wedding in San Diego. She has grown up a lot since then! It was so fun going around with Jaycee and Tyler of their engagement photos near Leeds in Southern Utah. There is a lot of history in the Leeds and Silver Reef area. The mining industry in the area was a large reason for the growth of Southern Utah in the late 1800’s. I am a bit…

    Sand Hollow Sunset Engagement {Kelcie+Matt}

    December 27, 2016

    St George Wedding Photographer Sand Hallow Beach Engagement Photos Just because Southern Utah is a long way away from the ocean, that doesn’t mean we can’t take advantage of beautiful beaches for wedding and engagement photos! We have no shortage of amazing lakes and reservoirs in Southern Utah. Sand Hallow is one of my favorites for photos! I love the red rock jutting out of the crystal blue water. It is almost otherworldly. Kelcie and Matt were so fantastic to work with! We hiked around the beaches and sandstone cliffs to get some truly amazing photos. The sunset was nothing…

    Fall Leaves in Southern Utah Engagement Teaser

    October 18, 2016

    Every year we get wonderful fall colors to photograph in Southern Utah. This year however might have been the best I have ever seen. Yesterday I had an amazing fall engagement session and was blown away by the color. Fall leaves in engagement photos are tricky. You have to hit it at just the right time, on just the right day, in just the right location to get them at their best. Zion National park is amazing for fall colors. Oranges, reds and yellow leaves turn the park to the most amazing shades of rainbow. I absolutely loved this fall…

    Ali and Cory’s engagement session in Pine Valley was absolute perfection. These two love the outdoors and Pine Valley was the perfect spot for their engagement photos.

I love the interaction between these two and the love the have for one another. Its also a huge plus that regardless of how hot it might be in St George, Pine Valle is always a nice respite from the heat.…
