    July 4, 2017

    St George Utah Engagement Photos I had such a fantastic time photographing Chantelle and Macrae’s red rock Snow Canyon engagement photos! I love red rock engagement photo sessions, and this one absolutely didn’t disappoint. The stunning natural scenery around St George makes it an amazing city. Some of the better known features are the redrock and mesas. Engagement photos in Snow Canyon are some of my favorites.

    Snow Canyon Utah Engagement Photos {Chantelle+Macrae}

    June 27, 2017

    St George Engagement Photographer Chantelle & Macrae are both from Southern Utah and knew they wanted their engagement photos in Snow Canyon. I always love photographing red rock engagement photos. Snow Canyon with its stunning sandstone cliffs is the perfect spot for an afternoon engagement photo session. Chantelle and Macrae have such awesome personalities. They are so fun to photograph and are obviously a stunning couple. I loved Chantelle’s red dress that she wore for the second half of her photos. We started their photos in the white rock area of Snow Canyon, which is always a beautiful spot. I love…

    Entrada at Snow Canyon Pre Wedding {Amanda+Mason}

    April 17, 2017

    Southern Utah Wedding Photographer Entrada Wedding Entrada at Snow Canyon is one of the top wedding venues in St George. An Entrada Wedding is always a wonderful time! I absolutely love photographing weddings at Entrada. The Unique landscape with its fields of black lava, mixed with the green grass of the course and Red rock of Snow Canyon are breathtaking. When Amanda and Mason mentioned wanting to do their pre wedding bridals at Entrada, I was thrilled. I love the dry and arid lava rock intermingled with the lush green of the golf course.

Its full of the obvious red rock and sandstone cliffs, but also has hidden gems like the amazing trees and backdrops of this fun engagement session.

    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…

    Salt Lake LDS Temple First Look {Tisha+Tyler}

    October 28, 2015

    More and more often couples are leaving the wedding traditions behind. One of those time old traditions is the groom not seeing the bride until their wedding day. A very popular event now a days though is the first look. It is typically done at the bridal session, or earlier in the day on the wedding day. It give the groom the opportunity to see his bride for the first time in her wedding dress, and for it all to be captured on camera. I love capturing these special moments. Besides the emotional part of this experience, there is a…
