    Boneville Salt Flats Pre Wedding {Taylour+Zachary}

    May 8, 2016

    The Boneville Salt Flats are best known for their perfectly flat stretches which are used for breaking land speed records with anything with wheels. The stark feel of white that goes on forever to the mountains in the background make for an absolutely unique and stunning environment. It was an absolutely beautiful backdrop for Taylour and Zachary’s bridal photo session. That being said it was also the windiest session I have ever shot in. The wind was a constant 40mph plus, making communicating and photographing a challenge… but an awesome one. Beyond the wind it was also freezing out. Taylour…

    Payson Utah Temple Wedding {CarolAnn+Austin}

    April 30, 2016

    Payson Utah Wedding Photographer Payson LDS Temple Wedding Photographing Carol Ann and Austin’s wedding at the Payson Temple was absolutely amazing. It was a blue sky day that was on the windy side, but still absolutely beautiful. Driving on the 15 towards Salt Lake I always see the Payson Temple and stare in amazement at how stunning it is. During the day it is a beautiful building, and then at night with the lights all around it the temple really becomes jaw dropping! I was so thrilled when Carol Ann contacted me about photographing her wedding! I had photographed her…

    Tibble Fork Sunset Engagement {Alyssa+Ryan}

    March 2, 2016

    The Alpine Loop is a stunning location for engagement and wedding photos. I especially like The Tibble Fork Reservoir area for engagement photos. I love the pine trees, mixed with aspen. I love the green water of the reservoir. I of course love the views of the mountains in the background. The location is stunning. The only thing better for this session was this amazing couple. They were a stunning couple and we so great to photograph. We had an awesome time hiking around and finding some beautiful spots to make some engagements photo magic. It was a blast hanging out…

    Albion Basin Engagement {Laura+Tanner}

    February 16, 2016

    I love photographing couples in amazing places. Albion Basin is an absolutely stunning location for a photo session of any kind. I loved hiking around with Laura & Tanner for this romantic session full of laughs and amazing scenery. Engagement sessions are one of my favorites. I love to get to know a couple in a casual setting. It makes the wedding day that much more fun when I already have a great relationship with the couple I am photographing. I loved working with Laura & Tanner. I actually photographed Laura’s sisters wedding several years ago and absolutely adore their family.…

    St George Golf Course Bridal {Jessica+Jordan}

    November 20, 2015

    So often when people think of the desert of Southern Utah it is the red rock desert that comes to mind. The truth is though St George is full of life and color. I was so glad to have photographed Jessica and Jordan’s bridal session at Dixie Red Hills Golf Course. I loved photographing their engagement session in Heber Utah a few months before and was looking forward to working with them again. Bridal sessions can be a lot of fun. I love photographing a couple in their wedding attire without the time and location restraints so often associated with…

    Sundance Utah Resort Wedding {Brit + Thom}

    November 13, 2015

    Situated off of the Alpine Loop in Utah, The Sundance Resort has to be one of the most beautiful spots around. It is known for its amazing ski slopes and bike runs, and of course for being a stunning wedding venue. There couldn’t be two people more sweet and fun then Brit & Thom. I was so glad to have been there to photograph their amazing wedding at Sundance. I worked side by side most of the day with Kale Fitch as he shot their wedding video (below). Fuse Weddings and events did the wedding planning and decor for the…

    Summer Golf Course Engagement {Mckell+Tui}

    November 6, 2015

    Instagram has become such a great place to share a little of what I do on a daily basis with my photography. Every so often I will run an instagram contest to try and help a couple or family get the photos they have dreamed of, but maybe couldn’t alway budget for. If you haven’t already started following my instagram, be sure to jump on there for the change to win your own session. Mckell & Tui entered a Instagram contest I held during the summer. There were hundreds of entries and I was so thrilled for this special pair to…

    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…

    October 14, 2015

    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…

    Tibble Fork Summer Bridal {Lena+Keir}

    October 6, 2015

    Las year at about the same time I meat up with these two to photograph their amazing engagement session in Park City. I had been looking forward ever since to photographing their bridal session. Their wedding is in Montana so we knew we wanted a beautiful green mountain look not only to mesh well with the engagement session, but with the wedding day as well. I love the Alpine Loop in Utah and all that it has to offer for photographs. The Tibble Fork Reservoir has become very popular since the time I first started photographing couples there. It can…

    This stunning summer engagement session up the Alpine Loop at the Tibble Fork Reservoir was too beautiful for words. Jen and Keegan are such an awesome couple and besides the fact that they are absolutely gorgeous the are so down to earth and fun. I loved spending time with these two, walking up the flower covered mountains and down by the beautiful emerald green lake. The misty fog in the background by the lake was absolute perfection for these engagement photos. Jen and Keegan’s wedding will be taking place in the winter near Park City.

    Utah Indian Hindu Wedding {Adria+Sujeet}

    June 6, 2015

    I had the opportunity recently to photograph the wedding of an amazing couple! Adria and Sujeet were married in a traditional Hindu ceremony in front of the red cliffs of Snow Canyon at Entrada Golf Club. I absolutely love photographing weddings at Entrada. It is a stunning venue with so much to offer. The two met and live in Washington, DC, but created a “destination” wedding experience for their guests in Adria’s hometown of St. George. The wedding was recently published on Style Me Pretty, which is always such an honor! Their favorite part of the reception was the sparkler entrance…
