    SLC Garden Place Wedding {Stephanie + Joel}

    April 28, 2014

    Photographing this wedding reception at The Garden Place in Salt Lake was amazing. Stephanie and Joel were married at the Salt Lake City Temple and had their reception at The Garden Place, at This is The Place. I loved photographing weddings at the temple. I feel like there are so many amazing spots that I can always find something new and fresh for the photos. The architecture is fantastic and so unique. I really enjoy all of the different old buildings near by as well. After photographing their engagements and Bridal photos in Salt Lake I was so excited to…

    Le Jardin Wedding {Cambri + Michael}

    February 28, 2014

    Photographing Cambri and Michaels wedding day at the Salt Lake Temple and Le Jardin was wonderful. Le Jardin is a beautiful reception venue. Year round it is green and lush. Le Jardin is a group of green houses filled with beautiful plants and walkways. Cambri’s mother is a decorator and did a wonderful job with all of the setup for the reception. Their beautiful day started at the SLC Temple. I have enjoyed getting to know these two through the process of photographing their engagement photos around downtown SLC and then their wedding. Cambri’s family is so wonderful and I…

    Rustic Woods Engagement {Karissa + Randy}

    February 24, 2014

    Karissa and Randy’s engagement pictures in the rustic woods by a stream in Southern Utah were awesome. The colors were perfect and so were they. The couple came in from California for their session so it was a real change of scenery for them. The different areas around St George offer such great variety. Most often people think of Red Rock when picturing Southern Utah for photos, but we can really find almost any look. The cliffs, stream and large cottonwood trees made for a stunning backdrop, but these two were the stars for sure. Ending their engagement session getting a…

    Southern Utah Engagements by the lake { Jessica+Ryan}

    January 22, 2014

    I have had the pleasure to work with Jessica’s family in the past, and I was so excited to photograph Jessica’s Engagements. Jessica and Ryan made the trip to St George for engagement photos from Las Vegas and Provo. We decided to take advantage of one of the many reservoirs in the area and the surrounding desert scape. The weather was amazing as it usually is in Southern Utah and we were blessed with an amazing Southern Utah sunset as well. Jessica and Ryan had such great chemistry which made their pictures that much better. I love to have a…

    Snow Canyon Pre Wedding { Miranda }

    January 14, 2014

    Miranda and Ryan have to be one of my favorite wedding couples of 2013. We shot their engagements pictures in Southern Utah, and their Wedding in Sundance. Miranda decided to do a more traditional bridal and not have Ryan see her before the wedding day. She loves the red rock, and what better place to capture that then in Snow Canyon State Park. Snow Canyon offers some super unique backdrops that are truly inspiring. The dramatic shift in color from the grey and green of the sage, to the black lava rock up to the red sandstone cliffs can make one…

    Southern Utah Engagement Session {Caitlin + Jacob}

    January 7, 2014

    Winter is here and I have been looking back at photos and longing for warmer times. This was such a fun engagement shoot with Caitlin and Jacob in Pine Valley Utah. I love the shots with the  double bicycle not to mention just how cute these two are! Pine Valley is one of my favorite place to take pictures. When photographing a couple one of the first things we discuss is location. Of course the red rock is always a fantastic option, but for those looking for the smell of pine trees and the cool mountain air Pine Valley is…

    Salt Lake Country Club Wedding {Sydney + Davis}

    December 7, 2013

    I loved photographing Sydney and Davis’ Salt Lake Country Club Wedding Reception and pictures after they came out of the SLC Temple. The Country Club in SLC is absolutely beautiful. The large ball room area and multiple other rooms make for the perfect wedding Venue. The Country Club is one of the oldest and most prestigious clubs in the western United States, established in 1899.  The Club has a long history of excellence and offers a beautiful space indoors and out for weddings. The Temple is always a beautiful spot, and I was so thankful for beautiful, if not cold weather.…

    Brian Head Utah Engagement {Malissa + Scott}

    November 14, 2013

    I just loved photographing this great couples engagement pictures in Brian Head. They wanted to capture the fall colors which of course we only have a short window for. Malissa and Scott have such great chemistry and are really a joy to be around. The weather in Brian Head was so beautiful and I was so glad that we ended up finding some of the fall color. We have so much diversity in Southern Utah and I love to be able to photograph new spots. I had the chance to photograph Malissa’s Sister a couple years earlier and am so…

    Salt Lake Punk Wedding {Mariana + Jordan}

    October 25, 2013

    Mariana and Jordan have a style and a love all their own. They both love punk Rock so I’m saying that was a bit of the theme of this wedding. I loved photographing these two, Mariana in her beautiful blue greek style wedding dress and Jordan in his casual shoes and great looking bow tie. It was a bit wet in SLC when we started doing their wedding photos but it turned out beautiful anyway. The cold Salt Lake air and the wonderful fall colors made for the right combination of really showing the time of year. Mariana is from…

    Southern Utah Forest Engagement {Taylor + Chase}

    July 16, 2013

    Photographing engagement sessions has got to be one of my favorite things. Taylor and Chase’s engagement session in Pine Valley in Southern Utah was so much fun. I had meat Chase before as he works for Forevermore Events. He is such a humble and nice guy. Taylor was equally nice, and together they were so much fun. I love to get to know the people I am photographing and feeling like they are great friends by the time the session is over. The fact that we have pine trees and a forest within reach of St George is awesome. These…

    Quail Creek Utah Engagement {Blair + Brad}

    March 10, 2013

    I recently had the chance to photograph Blair and Brads engagement pictures at Quail Creek Reservoir. When the water is flat at Quail Creek it turns into a huge mirror reflecting the beautiful desert cliffs that surround it. Blair and Brad love the outdoors and the look and feel of Southern Utah. I loved working with them and really capturing who they are, and their love for one another. The scenery of the lake and the beautiful mountains was an added bonus.

    I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Elizabeth and Taylor’ Engagement pictures in Southern Utah down by a beautiful stream and forest of Cotten Wood Trees. I love the big cliffs that surround this stream and the wonderful cover of the trees. It has the perfect outdoor romantic feel. Taylor and Elizabeth were so much fun to work with! They really are such a beautiful and enjoyable couple. I can’t wait for their engagements and bridals.
