    Zion National Park Wedding {Joann+Dimitri}

    February 9, 2015

    True North is a wedding venue up Kolab Canyon on the back side of Zion National Park. I was so happy to photograph this fun County Fair inspired wedding at True North. Joann and Dimitri were such an easy going fun couple to photograph. Their families came from all over for this lovely destination wedding. The florals by Bloomers out of St George Utah were stunning. The show stopper for this wedding was definitely the backdrop which was hand made by Dimitri especially for the wedding. I see it as something with no beginning and no end which is perfect for…

    Fall Pine Valley Engagement Session {Rebecca+Mike}

    November 13, 2014

    I have had the wonderful opportunity to get to know the Childs Family over the years having photographed now three of their daughters.

    Kaitlyn and Sean are such an amazing couple. They are absolutely so amazing to work with and to be around. I couldn’t have asked for a better photo session with these two. Lilac Flora did a brilliant job with the wonderful bouquet and headpiece and I loved Kaitlyn’s beautiful BHLDN Dress. Sean looked fantastic as well in his blue suit. The smiles on these two are just infectious. I loved photographing their engagement photos in Salt Lake City earlier this year and have really enjoyed getting to know them.

    Pioneer Ruins Engagement {Natalie + Taylor}

    September 20, 2014

    Engagement pictures can be so much fun! Natalie and Taylor are adventurers at heart. They love to go exploring around ghost towns throughout Utah. They loved the idea of doing their engagement photos at this old pioneer farm house ruins in Southern Utah. They are such a cute couple and their love for one another is obvious. I loved their cute style with Natalie’s dress and Taylors Mod black and white dress cloths. The vintage and rustic outdoor vibe make for such a beautiful session. Im so looking forward to photographing their wedding in Northern Utah later this year.

    I love photographing Engaged couples. There really is no happier time the the excitement leading up to a wedding. Kashae and Aaron are such an amazing couple and I absolutely had a blast working with them. Aaron is so funny and cool and Kashae is just so sweet and beautiful. We had a blast! For their engagement photos we really wanted to capture the essence of Southern Utah. The red rocks and rolling desert, and the rivers and ravines. Even a bit of historical rustic architecture as well. I love the landscape of Southern Utah. Its no wonder that so…

    Springdale Cliffrose Wedding {Katelyn + Eric}

    June 15, 2014

    This beautiful wedding at the Cliffrose Lodge in Springdale was one of my favorite Zion Weddings of the year to photograph.  Forevermore Events did the most incredible job on decor and set up. I love photographing weddings in Zion National Park. Katelyn and Eric were two of the nicest people to work with. Not to mention their wonderful families which were an absolute blast! I got to know the two of them while photographing their engagement pictures in Snow Canyon earlier this year. I knew I was in for some good times!

    Kanab Utah Wedding { Alexa + Matt }

    April 7, 2014

    Alexa and Matt’s wedding in Kanab Utah was stunning. Photographing them throughout the wedding process has been so great. From doing their engagement pictures, to Alexa’s bridal photos in Snow Canyon, they have been a blast to work with. I loved Alexa’s beautiful home where her wedding took place. Thy have a perfect tuscan style villa that overlooks the canyons below and red rock mesas in the distance. Alexa and her family did all of the decor and setup, which as you can see was extensive and impressive. I felt like I had been transported to Italy for this wedding,…

    Zion National Park is a stunning destination wedding location. I had the opportunity to be the photographer for Heather and Chris’ wedding. Forevermore Events did all of the setup for the beautiful wedding ceremony under the cotton wood tree by the Lodge in Zion. People come from all over the world to visit Zion and with its towering sandstone cliffs, breathtaking vistas, and hikes, its no wonder why. Heather and Chris made their destination wedding in Zion a day to remember. They are from two opposite ends of the US. Chris from the east coast, and Heather from the islands…

    Mikele and Chris made the trip down from Cedar City to do their engagement photos in the Red Rocks of St George. They really love the atmosphere that Southern Utah offers and wanted to capture that in their pictures. We started the session downtown on the streets near Green Gate Village and made our way up to Pioneer Park. Saint George has some of the most amazing landscapes in the world. Its so awesome to be able to access them right in our own back yard. These two were so much fun and Im beyond excited to be working with…
