A Shangri-La Event Center wedding offers something distinctly different from the red-rock landscapes most people associate with Southern Utah. Located in Toquerville, Utah, this outdoor wedding venue is surrounded by ponds, mature trees, green lawns, bridges, and a white gazebo beside the water. The property was previously known as Lichfield Ponds, and many local couples may still recognize it by that name. Today, it is called Shangri-La Event Center, but the ponds and landscaped grounds that made the venue recognizable remain at the heart of the property. This fall wedding made beautiful use of the entire venue. The couple held…

Allie and Matt celebrated their summer wedding at Quiet Meadow Farm in Mapleton, Utah. Surrounded by open fields and mountain views, the farm gave them a beautiful setting for an outdoor ceremony and a relaxed barn reception. The clear summer weather, warm evening light, and people gathered around them made the entire day feel joyful and easygoing. An Outdoor Ceremony Beneath the Mountains Allie and Matt exchanged vows on the lawn with the mountains rising behind them. The open field created a simple and beautiful ceremony setting. Rather than needing an elaborate backdrop, the surrounding landscape became part of the…

Kamas Utah Wedding Photographer Polly and Brent’s wedding in Kamas, Utah was the kind of wedding day that makes this area so special. It had mountain views, open space, a relaxed ranch setting, and the kind of celebration that felt completely personal to them. Kamas sits just outside of Park City, but it has a much quieter feel. It is close enough to the Park City area to be convenient for guests, but it still feels tucked away in the mountains. For couples who want a wedding with fresh air, wide open views, and a more private atmosphere, Kamas is…

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.

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…

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 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…

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…
