    Albion Basin Pre Wedding {Cassie+Collin}

    February 6, 2019

    Albion Basin Pre Wedding Cassie and Collin love spending time in the mountains! Their Albion Basin engagement session was absolutely perfect for showing that love! These two have such unbelievable chemistry and I had the best time photographing their engagements! Albion Basin has to be one of my favorite spots in Utah. The light as it comes through the trees and wildflowers is complete magic! Not to mention the views over the valley below. The area is known for its amazing hiking and ski areas. It has also become very popular for photography over the last few years. With extraordinaire views…

    Montage Deer Valley Wedding { Lindsay+Adam}

    September 15, 2018

    Montage Deer Valley Wedding I love Park City Weddings! A Montage Deer Valley Wedding is always amazing! I had the wonderful opportunity to recently photograph the wedding of Lindsay and Adam at The Montage. Michelle Leo Events was the coordinator for the wedding and as always, they did a flawless job. They have such an amazing eye for detail, and such great control over the goings on of the day. Lindsay and Adam were in amazing hands. Like most Park City and Deer Valley weddings, this was a destination wedding for all involved. It was wonderful to see how many…

    Guardsman’s Pass Engagement {Carrie+Jeff}

    August 7, 2017

    Park City Wedding Photographer Park City and the Deer Valley area are one of my absolute favorite places to photograph a wedding or engagement session. Carrie and Jeff mentioned that they wanted to have mountains and trees for their engagement photos. I knew guardsman’s pass was the perfect spot to take their photos. I love the mountains, the light and the trees at Guardsman’s pass. The panoramic views though, are what really make this location stand out. It is a breathtaking location with vistas looking over Park City on one side, and Heber on the other. As a Park City, and Deer…

    Utah Capital Building Wedding {Jasmine+Erik}

    May 29, 2017

    Wedding at the Utah State Capital SLC Wedding Photographer The Utah State Capital is an amazing building full of fantastic architecture and charm. It is right up the hill from the Salt Lake Temple, which was perfect for these two. Jasmine and Erik’s wedding day began at the Salt Lake LDS Temple. From there they had their reception for their wedding at the Utah State Capital. I loved photographing Jasmine and Erik’s reception at the Utah State Capital Building. The Capital building is an absolutely unique and regal location for a wedding. A rainy wedding day Jasmine and Erik’s day started at the Salt Lake City LDS Temple just blocks…

    Utah Capital Building Pre Wedding {Andy+Lin}

    March 29, 2017

    Utah State Capital Engagement Photos SLC Wedding Photographer I love photographing Utah State Capital Engagement sessions. Few places in Utah have the grand Greco Roman architecture of the Utah Capital building in Salt Lake City. I love the colors, lines and texture of the capital building. I was so glad when Andy and Lin decided they wanted some of their engagement photos at the Capital Building. We photographed the second half of their session at the capital. We had so much rain as we were driving there from Silverlake. I was so worried we wouldn’t be able to photograph them at the Capital…

    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…

    The Cedar City temple is going to be a beautiful spot for a wedding. At this point though its still not finished so as it has always been, couples from Cedar City come down to the St George temple to be married. Terra and Derek came down from Cedar City where they held their reception later in the day to be married in the St George temple. I first meat these two for their engagement session in Southern Utah. We photographed their bridals as well and had a wonderful time from start to finish working with these two and their…

    SLC Avenues Pre Wedding {Courtney+Kirk}

    September 3, 2015

    I was so excited to get to work with Courtney and Kirk again for their pre wedding photo session at The Avenues above Salt Lake City. We had originally planned to shoot at Tibble Fork Reservoir up the Alpine Loop, but due to some less then ideal stormy weather we decided to keep it close to home for Courtney & Kirk. They live just down the street from the avenues so it was a perfect spot for their bridal session. A couple months prior they made the trip down to Southern Utah where we photographed their engagement session in Snow Canyon.…

    Salt Lake City Avenues Bridal {Madeline+Brandon}

    May 20, 2015

    The day after photographing their wedding at Memory Grove in Salt Lake City I reunited with Madeline and Brandon for a wonderful honeymoon bridal session. I love day after wedding sessions. They are so intimate and special. Its a wonderful opportunity to get some amazing wedding style photos in locations that on the wedding day would not be possible. This spot above the avenues overlooking Salt Lake is a hidden jewel. I love the rolling hills and fields. You would never think its practically in the city. Madeline’s wedding gown was stunning and I love the casualness of Brandons suit…

    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…

    Zion True North Wedding Teaser

    November 1, 2014

    Zion National Park really is one of the most amazing places on the planet for a wedding. Joann and Dimitri came from out of town with their family to experience its wonder and beauty for their wedding day. They tied the knot in their own unique way with a wooden hand made circular backdrop and a fun State Fair themed Party after. What a fun idea for a wedding, and so enjoyable for the kids and the kids in everyone! They were a beautiful couple and were only matched by the beauty of Zion National Park. Having elements that are…

    Kaitlyn and Sean really are too much fun. I loved every moment of this engagement session. We started at their cute apartment downtown in Salt Lake City for the engagement photos and moved up the avenues for some beautiful views of the city below and the hills above. What a dreamy spot. Kaitlyn and Sean are just so enjoyable to work with. We laughed and had a blast. I really felt like they were just such genuinely good people. Being beautiful on top of that might just be too much! I loved their style and fun attitude for the engagement…
