    Elegant St George UT Wedding {Southern Utah Bride}

    September 1, 2017

    Timeless St George Wedding I love to photograph weddings in St George Utah. St George is one of the top places in Utah for a wedding. People come from all around to experience the majestic views, as well as the stunning landscapes. The weather is perfect most of the year, and there are no shortage of beautiful wedding locations. I was luckily enough to have photographed this wedding inspiration shoot for Southern Utah Bride Magazine. The inspiration for this shoot was a timeless and elegant wedding. The masculine color pallet worked perfectly with the engineering elements, as well as the…

    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…

    Old World Safari Editorial

    Vintage Safari Wedding Inspiration Southern Utah Wedding Photographer I had the amazing opportunity to photograph this Old World Safari inspired wedding editorial. As a wedding photographer in Southern Utah I always try to make the most of our amazing desert landscape. I have always though how similar some locations look to what I imagine Africa looking like. I imagine an old world African Safari wedding with all of the amazing foods and textures and colors. It can be so great doing styled shoots in Southern Utah. I like to find fun new locations that tell a story. The wash where I decided…

    Salt Lake LDS Temple Wedding {Tisha+Tyler}

    February 6, 2017

    Salt Lake City Wedding Photographer SLC Temple Wedding Getting to know Tisha and Tyler has been an absolute joy! I loved photographing their wedding in Salt Lake City. They were married at the SLC LDS Temple, and had their backyard reception later that day. They had many traditional Mexican elements. Needless to say that means it was a great party! Lots of dancing and mariachi music. It was so fun with miniature golf, and delicious treats. I photographed Tisha and Tyler’s engagement session in Southern Utah, and had the best time with the two of them. I was so thrilled…

    Quail Creek Reservoir Engagement {Lauren+Chance}

    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…

    Salt Lake Memory Grove Wedding {Madeline+Brandon}

    February 19, 2015

    One of the most beautiful locations for a wedding and nestled in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City is Memory Grove. The vast green lawns, meandering stream and amazing architecture make for such a wonderful wedding venue. Madeline and Brandon were married at one of the sites on the grounds. I love the classic Greco Roman architecture that was the backdrop for their wedding ceremony. Their first look beforehand just outside of Memory Grove building made for such an amazing moment. I love first looks when they are possible because it frees up so much more time after the…

    Southern Utah Toquerville Engagement {Jade+Ben}

    February 10, 2015

    Jade and Ben both live in Southern Utah and love the Toquerville area. We were lucky enough to photograph their engagements at a big pond that belongs to one of Ben’s friends. I loved the look and feel of this beautiful engagement session. Jade is originally from Haiti in the Caribbean and has such a sweet presence about her. Together she and Ben make such a beautiful couple. We had a lot of fun photographing their engagement photos around the pond just relaxing and having a great time!

    Southern Utah Lake Engagement Photos {Abby+Mike}

    December 1, 2014

    Being a wedding photographer in Utah lends to so many possibilities for amazing locations. For Abby and Mikes engagement photography we decided to do something very outdoorsy but with a Southern Utah feel to it. They loved the idea of being near the water. We started the session on a bit of an adventure and ended up in a wash and small stream. The previous week we had some heavy flooding in St George so this area looked different then any time I had been there in the past. It was a lot of fun minus the quicksand that we…

    October 4, 2014

    I can’t say enough how much I love working with this amazing couple. I first had the opportunity to photograph Kellie and Jesse for their engagement session in Sevilla Spain . The Draper temple is a beautiful place and I loved photographing  their wedding there. Their wedding reception took place at  the Highland Gardens a beautiful green house venue located in Highland Utah. Kellie and Jesse are full of personality and are so fun to be around. They are beautiful inside and out and I feel so glad to know them both!

    September 6, 2014

    Few couples better personify the feeling of love then Joelle and Kyle. I love photographing these two! They are a stunning couple that love to laugh and have a great time. They love all things water so we really tried to capitalize on that in their engagement session. We took advantage of some of one of the wonderful streams and reservoirs in the area for the photo session. These two look like they were born for the beach and I love the casual California vibe of their second outfit. Not to mention Joelles super cute sun hat that she wore…

    Photographing weddings at the beautiful SLC LDS Temple in downtown Salt Lake is always amazing. The buildings downtown have amazing architecture, and there is always a number of spots with wonderful lighting . This Fall wedding even had the beautiful fall colors. I had the opportunity to photograph Ashton and Mitchell’s Engagement session a few months prior, and then their Bridal Session in SLC more recently. They are a beautiful couple inside and out, and are so fun to work with. I really enjoyed their families as well. Their reception at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building was really special. They had…
