    Leeds Creek Engagement {Jaycee+Tyler}

    January 10, 2017

    St George Engagement Photographer Southern Utah Fall Engagement Photos I loved this rustic fall engagement session with Jaycee and Tyler. Over ten years ago I met Jaycee when I photographed her sisters wedding in San Diego. She has grown up a lot since then! It was so fun going around with Jaycee and Tyler of their engagement photos near Leeds in Southern Utah. There is a lot of history in the Leeds and Silver Reef area. The mining industry in the area was a large reason for the growth of Southern Utah in the late 1800’s. I am a bit…

    Winter Zion National Park Engagement {Braden+Sara}

    January 4, 2017

    Engagement Proposals in Zion National park happen all year long, but the winter is the off season for Zion National Park. People don’t associate Zion with snow, but we do get it from time to time, and when it happens, it is beyond breathtaking. I loved photographing the engagement of Sara and Braden in Zion National Park in the winter. I love the warmth of the red and orange sandstone mixed with the cold snow. It makes for such beautiful and interesting photo backdrops. As a wedding photographer in Southern Utah I have the opportunity to work often in Zion,…

    Fall Leaves in Southern Utah Engagement Teaser

    October 18, 2016

    Every year we get wonderful fall colors to photograph in Southern Utah. This year however might have been the best I have ever seen. Yesterday I had an amazing fall engagement session and was blown away by the color. Fall leaves in engagement photos are tricky. You have to hit it at just the right time, on just the right day, in just the right location to get them at their best. Zion National park is amazing for fall colors. Oranges, reds and yellow leaves turn the park to the most amazing shades of rainbow. I absolutely loved this fall…

    Pine Valley Utah Engagement {Ali+Cory}

    September 22, 2016

    Ali and Cory’s engagement session in Pine Valley was absolute perfection. These two love the outdoors and Pine Valley was the perfect spot for their engagement photos. I had a great time hiking around the mountains and near the lake with these two. Cory loves to fish so the reservoir was especially perfect to represent him for their photos. I love the interaction between these two and the love the have for one another. Its also a huge plus that regardless of how hot it might be in St George, Pine Valle is always a nice respite from the heat.…

    Indian Sikh Utah Wedding Teaser

    Utah Indian Sikh Wedding Indian Wedding Photographer I recently had the absolute pleasure to photograph a stunning Indian Wedding at the Grand America in Salt Lake City Utah. The Grand America is a stunning venue for any wedding, but was perfect for this amazing Indian wedding. I have photographed other Hindu weddings in the past, but this was the first Sikh Wedding I have had the pleasure to photograph. They are so different from one another. Both have the beautiful and vibrant prints and colors that Indian weddings are known for, but it was wonderful learning about this different culture…

    Entrada at Snow Canyon Wedding {Macy+Heath}

    August 17, 2016

    Southern Utah Wedding Photographer St George Entrada Wedding It was a dark and rainy day in Southern Utah for Macy and Heath’s wedding. That being said, it was also absolutely stunning! I had such a fantastic time photographing this beautiful wedding filled with unique personal details. Starting with Macy’s choice of camo wedding pumps, to the cake topper with the bride, the hunter, and of course her shotgun, each part of the wedding was unique. Heath is a hunter and it was awesome to see touches of his passion laced through the wedding details. There was rain during the ceremony,…

    Red Rock Snow Canyon Engagement {Macy+Heath}

    July 26, 2016

    I love photographing couples in Southern Utah. Zion National Park and Snow Canyon State Park are two of the best spots for red rock sandstone in Southern Utah. I loved photographing Macy and Heath for their engagement session in Snow Canyon. I don’t know if there is anywhere else as beautiful in Southern Utah. The best part about Snow Canyon compared to Zion is a lack of clouds. Zion is an amazing place to be sure. I like to think of Snow Canyon as a mini Zion. Macy and heath are a beautiful couple inside and out. So fun to…

    I love photographing couples for their engagement photos. This beautiful engagement photo session in Snow Canyon State Park was no different. Courtney often wears a hat so she brought one along for some of the photos. It was so fun, and a great way to show a little bit of who she is. The two of them have such fun style, and amazing personalities. We laughed and joked as we hiked around the red rock and lava flows of Snow Canyon. The sandstone cliffs and formations always make for such an amazing time in Snow Canyon. I am constantly amazed…

    More often then not when couples ask me what to wear for their engagement session I really try to encourage them to be themselves… their best selves. Amanda and Mason needed no coaching. They came dressed to impress and I absolutely loved working with them for their engagement photo session. Their session took place in the beginning of Spring. We knew we wanted it to have that green spring feel. The weather was beautiful and the trees with the golden light of the afternoon were stunning. I loved photographing the love these two have for one another. The golf course…

    White Rock Utah Engagement {Jasmine+Erik}

    March 22, 2016

    I had a great time photographing this engagement session. When talking about Southern Utah, most people think first and foremost of the red rock cliffs and mesas of places like Zion National Park and Snow Canyon. I love the white sandstone area above Snow Canyon for its stark contrast to the typical red rock. When I’m photographing anyone in this area I love to get a good pop of contrast from what they are wearing. Jasmine & Erik came dressed to impress. Jasmine’s red and green dresses along with Erik in his tux looked amazing against the white desert landscape.…
