    Sand Hallow Lake Pre Wedding {Courtney+Travis}

    May 30, 2016

    Is there anything more dramatic then Blue water contrasting with the orange colored rock of Southern Utah?! Courtney and Travis are having their wedding at Sand Hallow so it seemed appropriate to do their pre wedding photo session at the Lake at Sand Hallow. I loved Travis’ reaction as he saw Courtney walk up in her stunning BHLDN dress for the first time. The amazing floral by Bloomers was the perfect complement. The day was beautiful and so were these two. We hiked around to some pretty phenomenal locations, finally ending up cliffside high above the azure water below. Luckily…

    Sand Hallow Beach Bridal { Kylee + Garrett }

    August 23, 2014

    Photographing Kylee and Garrett for this feature in Southern Utah Bride Magazine was such a blast. As always Forevermore Events did such an amazing job with the setup! Bloomers did fantastic floral and Cupcakes by Julie the beautiful cakes. The Painted Pony, one of my favorite restaurants in St George was kind enough to provide the beautiful food for the shoot. Kylee and Garrett were married soon after this shoot and I was so happy to shoot their wedding and their engagement photos and temple bridal photos as well. They are an incredible couple and are so amazing to work with! Growing up…

    Anna Ranch Hawaii Engagement {Jamie+Donald}

    August 6, 2014

    I was recently going through older shoots and came across this amazing engagement session I photographed in Waimea on the Big Island of Hawaii. I can’t believe I never put it on the blog before but just had to share it! Jamie and Donald were two of the most amazing people to work with. I had such a fantastic time photographing them and getting to know them. They are beyond beautiful, but are also just so incredibly kind and fun as well. They are truly an amazing couple. We photographed some of their engagements and Anna Ranch, one of the…

    Hawaii Big Island Test Shoot {Heather}

    February 6, 2013

    I love doing photography in Hawaii! While on the Big Island of Hawaii I did a quick modeling shoot with Heather. Despite the crazy wind we did a quick 10 minute shoot. Its surprising what you can get in just a few minutes. I had a great time photographing Heather. The location in Waimea was beautiful. I love going to Hawaii to photograph weddings but doing fun little shoots like this is alway a blast too!

    Maui Hawaii Wedding {Shannon+Tyler}

    August 6, 2012

    I absolutely love traveling to Hawaii to photograph weddings! I had the chance to fly over to Maui to photograph this beautiful wedding at the Wailea Golf Club. Wailea is one of my favorite areas on Maui. Shannon and Tyler are from Utah and have been traveling to Maui every year since she was young. It was important to her to be married on Maui. I loved getting to know her family and friends while photographing this beautiful event. Nate of NP Films was also here for this wedding and did an amazing wedding video.

    Las Vegas Neon Boneyard (Kelsey & Austin)

    November 5, 2010

    While photographing Kelsey & Austin at the Neon Boneyard and the Venetian in Las Vegas we didn’t have to take a trip over the big blue to get some really old stuff, and that classic feel of Venice. Nope… Las Vegas fit the bill just fine for Kelsey and Austin’s engagement session. Nate of NP Films did a great job with their engagement video as well. What an awesome addition to the day.
