Every so often I am presented with the opportunity to be involved with a really brilliant shoot. The cover and feature in Southern Utah Bride Magazine’s current issue was definitely one of those opportunities. Besides having breathtaking landscapes, and unique terrain for backdrops, Southern Utah offers some of the best wedding vendors in the industry. It was fantastic seeing them at work on this fall mens den inspired shoot. From the colors and textures of the materials, to the backdrop of Zion National Park, this shoot was awe inspiring.
Oh and lets not forget the uber attractive couple, Heidi and John. Heidi’s beyond beautiful Vera Wang Gown was generously provided by Alta Moda Bridal, who carries some of the most amazing dresses in the industry. Her beautiful hair and makeup was perfectly executed by Jaclyn Lamoreaux. The amazing setup for the shoot was put together by none other then Laura from Forevermore Events. Laura is an artist and a true professional in every sense of the word. She had a vision, and brought it together masterfully. Every wedding in southern utah can and should benefit from using a wedding planner like her.
When it comes to baking, it seems like everyone knows someone who offers to whip together a cake for their wedding day. Well, unless they have the skills, and expertise to make a incredible unique cake like the one from this shoot… maybe a thanks, but no thanks should be in order.
One of the biggest statements when it comes to a wedding and the overall feel can be the cake. Karen at Sweet Cakes, formally BK Cake Designers designed this cake to perfection. It is 100% unique, and oh so inviting. The string that really ties a wedding together, more often then not, are the flowers. Kathy of Bloomers Flowers is constantly pushing the envelop, and yet keeping her designs current, and timeless. These flowers were just the right touch to soften the fabrics, textures and colors brought in for the otherwise masculine theme.
Im honored, to be associated with these and so many other fantastic wedding vendors in the Southern Utah region. They constantly inspire, and go well beyond the expected.
