    Park City Winter Engagement {Jessie+Christian}

    March 9, 2019

    Snowy Park City Engagement With all of the snow coming down in the mountains of Utah, what better way to celebrate it then an Park City Winter Engagement! Jessie and Christian were such a blast and they were such great sports trekking around in the snow. We had the best time playing in the snow. I may have found myself waist deep at times to get the shot, but it was worth it! The truth is, no matter how cold it was, and how deep the snow was, these two were wonderful to work with and photograph. Their love is…

    Zion Overlook Wedding Photographer There is no place in the world like Zion National Park to have a destination wedding! A Zion National Park Elopement or Wedding is always amazing! I love photographing weddings in Zion, and am so happy to have photographed Whitney and Daniel’s special day! This was a destination wedding in all senses of the word. Traveling all the way from Australia, the two came across the world to be married in Zion National Park. Many of their friends and families came from the east coast, or from Australia.

    Zion River Engagement {Rehn+Nick}

    August 29, 2018

    Zion Utah Engagement Photos Rehn and Nick both love the water. Their Zion River Engagement was a blast! I absolutely love photographing engagement sessions in Zion! These two will be getting married at Lake Havasu in 2019 where Rehn grew up. For their engagement photos, they knew they wanted to be by the water in some form or another. We decided on the combination of the beautiful scenery of Zion, and the beautiful virgin river.  I always love photographing couples in and around water. Especially in the desert where water is so precious. It makes for such unique and fun…

    Zion Overlook Wedding {Sandra+Daniel}

    July 28, 2017

    Wedding at Zion Overlook I love to photograph weddings in Zion National Park. The majestic views and panoramic vistas make for one of the most magnificent wedding backdrops in the world. It is no wonder that couples travel from all over to be married in this awe inspiring location. More often then not weddings in Zion National Park end up down in the canyon. The temple of Sinawava is a beautiful spot that captures some of the canyon feel from below. If you are looking for a spot in the park though, that really captures the essence of Zion, there…

    St George Utah Temple Wedding {Jaycee+Tyler}

    July 18, 2017

    St George Temple Wedding The Lds Temple in St George is one of the oldest and most beautiful. Jayceee and Tyler are both from Southern Utah and knew that they wanted to have a St George temple wedding. Photographing temple weddings is different from that of a traditional wedding. As the photographer, I am not permitted to photograph the ceremony itself. I always love that moment though, when the couple comes out of the temple. They are newly married and the joy and excitement is palpable. Jaycee and Tyler have been a couple since high school, and their chemistry is…

    Red Rock Snow Canyon Engagements {Chantelle+Macrae}

    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. For the first part of Chantelle and Macrae’s engagement photography session, we explored the white rocks. The white rock area of Snow Canyon is one of my favorites. We had amazing light and…

    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…

    Utah Mountain Engagement Photos Silverlake Engagement Photographer Silverlake is one of the most beautiful spots in Utah for engagement photos! Before heading to the Utah State Capital for engagements, I started with Andy and Lin at Silverlake. Silverlake for engagement photos, is an absolutely stunning area in the mountains.

This engagement photo session with McKenzie and Adam provided some awesome light! I love the sun shining through the Joshua Trees where we started their photo session.

We made our way from the cactus like Joshua Trees to the river. The red rock cliffs mixed with the cool water from the river was…
