    Snow Canyon Sunset Bridal {April+Connor}

    February 22, 2016

    I recently had the opportunity to photograph April & Connor’s bridal session starting at the LDS Temple in St George and then moving on to finish their bridal session in Snow Canyon State Park. I am a big fan of both of these locations. I love the architecture and grounds of the temple. I photograph weddings at the LDS Temple often and its always such a pleasure. Snow Canyon is one of my favorite places anywhere, and even more so when we get so lucky to have an amazing sky. The weather was pretty fantastic for photos with these two. They…

    Zion National Park Wedding {Kelly+John}

    December 7, 2015

    Zion National Park is the perfect place for a wedding. I love photographing weddings in Zion. People travel from all over the world to experience its towering sandstone cliffs, amazing vistas and breathtaking slot canyons. Zion has become known as one of the top destinations for a wedding and with its awe inspiring outdoor appeal it is no wonder why. The weather in Zion is some of the best in the world. I was so excited for Kelly and John to have their wedding at the beautiful Cliffrose Lodge just outside of Zion. Forevermore Events did an amazing job decorating…

    St George Golf Course Bridal {Jessica+Jordan}

    November 20, 2015

    So often when people think of the desert of Southern Utah it is the red rock desert that comes to mind. The truth is though St George is full of life and color. I was so glad to have photographed Jessica and Jordan’s bridal session at Dixie Red Hills Golf Course. I loved photographing their engagement session in Heber Utah a few months before and was looking forward to working with them again. Bridal sessions can be a lot of fun. I love photographing a couple in their wedding attire without the time and location restraints so often associated with…

    Summer Golf Course Engagement {Mckell+Tui}

    November 6, 2015

    Instagram has become such a great place to share a little of what I do on a daily basis with my photography. Every so often I will run an instagram contest to try and help a couple or family get the photos they have dreamed of, but maybe couldn’t alway budget for. If you haven’t already started following my instagram, be sure to jump on there for the change to win your own session. Mckell & Tui entered a Instagram contest I held during the summer. There were hundreds of entries and I was so thrilled for this special pair to…

    Zion Overlook Engagement {Jordan+Jackson}

    October 21, 2015

    It is no wonder that tourism to Zion National Park has skyrocketed over the past several years. As more people become familiar with Zion more and more people come to be married there. Jordan & Jackson knew they wanted to have their engagement session overlooking Zion. Im so glad they were up for the adventure! We lucked out with some incredible clouds in the sky for their engagement photos, adding an extra element of depth to what is already a spectacular background! I love the overlook with the famous sandstone cliffs of Zion in the background. The day was beautiful,…

    Moroccan-Mediterranean Wedding Inspiration

    August 10, 2015

    I had the awesome opportunity to do a shoot that I had been thinking about doing for a long time. I love the colors associated with Morocco and the Mediterranean and wanted to convey the feel of a Moroccan wedding in a styled wedding shoot. I loved photographing this amazing inspirational shoot against the redneck slot canyons and cliffs of Southern Utah. The awe inspiring decor by Forevermore Events and Bloomers was absolutely incredible. The cake by Sweet Cakes by Karen was mind blowing and the food by Cappelettis was mouth watering and oh so beautiful. I love photographing weddings…

    True North Zion Utah Wedding {Molly+Chris}

    August 3, 2015

    As a photographer I have the chance to photograph weddings in some amazing places. True North in Zion Utah is just one of those amazing places. Molly and Chris knew they wanted to have their wedding at Zion National Park. They both have a love for the outdoors and there really isn’t anywhere that encapsulates the beauty of nature like Zion National Park. Molly & Chris are both members of the US Navy and are true patriots. Their love for country mixed with their love of nature was carried throughout their wedding details and theme. Forevermore events did an amazing job…

    Utah Indian Hindu Wedding {Adria+Sujeet}

    June 6, 2015

    I had the opportunity recently to photograph the wedding of an amazing couple! Adria and Sujeet were married in a traditional Hindu ceremony in front of the red cliffs of Snow Canyon at Entrada Golf Club. I absolutely love photographing weddings at Entrada. It is a stunning venue with so much to offer. The two met and live in Washington, DC, but created a “destination” wedding experience for their guests in Adria’s hometown of St. George. The wedding was recently published on Style Me Pretty, which is always such an honor! Their favorite part of the reception was the sparkler entrance…

    Zion National Park True North Wedding Teaser

    June 5, 2015

    Molly & Chris were recently married in a field overlooking Zion National Park. The wedding venue was True North which is up Kolob Terrace Road. This stunning venue was once a bar back in the 1950’s and is now really the only place in the area to have a wedding with the views looking down into Zion National Park. There really is no place like Zion. Most visitors to the park experience the main canyon of the park, but getting up to True North, one really gets to experience its beauty and majesty from a distance. The wedding of Molly…

    Southern Utah White Rock Engagement {Chelsey+Michael}

    May 8, 2015

    Snow Canyon Overlook Engagement Photography I love photographing couples getting married in and around Southern Utah. Chelsea & Michael made the trek down from Cedar City where they live and will be having their wedding reception to have their engagements in Snow Canyon. This is one of my favorite state parks in Utah. It is absolutely stunning with its red rock sandstone cliffs and vast overlooks. I love the contrast of color and beautiful textures in the Lava rock, and different tones of rocks mixed with the trees and sage brush. Its no wonder that couples come from all over…

Neither of them had actually ever stepped foot into Zion but its beauty and splendor was known to them. Their daughter was an important part of their special Elopement and was so wonderful in front of the camera. We explored around the park with the three of them a bit photographing the three of them as a family before heading to a Zion overlook spot for their actual ceremony with a…

    Southern Utah Indian Wedding Teaser {Adria & Suj }

    February 15, 2015

    Utah, Hindu Wedding Photographer A wedding at Entrada at Snow Canyon has always been one of my favorite venues in Southern Utah to photograph. This wedding which was coordinated by Middle Aisle was an absolute jaw dropping inspiration! Indian Hindu weddings are full of color, life, excitement and tradition but being as this was a half indian wedding and half western it really had a touch of the east meats west. Adria is originally from St George and wanted to be married here. All of Suj’s family came in from out of stater or country. Almost all of their friends…
