Utah Wedding Photography - Wedding Albums!

2012-02-01T11:57:00.000-08:00

I have been busy working on albums from autumn and winter weddings and I thought I'd share some of my favorite layouts! These albums are such a fantastic way to preserve and share your wedding photos. I love the black silk cover they come with and the high quality paper they are printed on. Truly an heirloom item! Anyways, let me know what you think of these layouts and if you are interested in seeing one in person just let me know! Also, if you are a bride from this last year and you would like to order an extra copy of your album, just contact me for details!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Mount Timpanogos Temple & Thanksgiving Point

2012-01-24T12:24:00.001-08:00

Ashlee and Daniel lucked out with a sunny day at the temple (although the chill factor was pretty high!). I loved the warm sun with the snowy mountains behind the temple...so pretty! Ashlee looked gorgeous (I love sparkle and she had lots of it!) and Daniel was happy to keep her warm between shots! It was a great day! Thanksgiving Point is a gorgeous location for a reception and they made it fabulous with lights and tulle all-around. Their gourmet hot cocoa was a big hit...especially with the delicious cinnamon rolls they served! There were a lot of supportive little nieces and nephews who appreciated the yumminess! They left for the honeymoon under sparklers, which is always fun! Congratulations on a perfect day, guys!

Ashlee and Daniel were just excited to be together after being seperated (due to an internship) for most of their engagement! I could hardly get them to look away from eachother! It was a crisp, but sunny day out at the Thanksgiving Point Gardens and these two just kept eachother warm (luckily I brought a coat, scarf, gloves, boots, etc. to keep myself warm!!). Anyways, I loved how these turned out and I hope you love them too...let me know!

2012-01-11T10:06:00.000-08:00

Anne and Thain's wedding took place on Dec. 30th and there wasn't a snowflake to be found...but this "Beauty and the Beast" themed wedding was gorgeous! This couple was just pure fun to be around! Thain recently graduated in Elementary Education and Anne absolutely loved being surrounded by children on her Big Day. The food and ambiance at Riverside Country Club was fabulous and the "candy table" was the best one I've seen! I wish these two an absolute, "Happily Ever After"!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Mount Timpanogos Temple and Wadley Farms

2012-01-05T13:20:00.000-08:00

Bethany and James have been together for a long time (by our Utah standards!) and their families were overjoyed to see them married on this Big Day! Both Bethany and James come from big loving families and it was just fun to be around them! It was a chilly day outside the temple, but they were troopers and I loved Bethany's gorgeous cloak (a great idea for winter weddings!). Their reception was at one of my favorite locations...Wadley Farms! It was a festive event. Holiday cookies and hot cocoa were served...and Bethany made her own cake, which I found to be unique...and delicious! Anyways, Congratulations guys!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Wadley Farms Bridals

2011-12-16T08:36:00.000-08:00

Bethany is planning a beautiful winter wedding and I think these photos really capture this time of year...even without snow! I loved the red cape that her mother made for her and along with this great location it gave a real "princess" feel (think Snow White or Belle)! I love Wadley Farms anytime of year, it's alway gorgeous and they have made some changes lately that makes it even better! Anyways, I love these photos and I am so excited for the wedding next week!

Utah Wedding Photography - Salt Lake Temple & Sleepy Ridge

2011-12-08T13:12:00.000-08:00

Jenny and Jordan were married on a beautiful November afternoon surrounded by friends and family! The Salt Lake Temple was gorgeous, as always, and not too crowded (one of the bonuses to getting married off-season!). They had their reception that evening at the Sleepy Ridge Golf Course...this is one of my favorite venues! Jenny handmade most of the decorations (she made the sash on her dress...don't you love it??!) and everything turned out beautiful! The pink and silver color scheme was gorgeous! I love these guys and wish them all the best in their long future together!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Draper Temple & Blue Lemon

2011-12-05T12:05:00.000-08:00

Sean and Megan lucked out with a gorgeous day in November for their Big Day! The Draper Temple was beautiful & sunny and the gorgeous lighting at the Blue Lemon in Highland made for some fun reception photography! I loved all the details Megan thought of...the lace gloves, the handmade decorations at the reception and the "wishes" tree instead of a sign-in book! It was simply a beauitiful day and I wish you both all the best! Congratulations!

Utah Wedding Photographer - Oquirrh Mountain Temple & Woods on Ninth

2011-11-30T19:54:00.000-08:00

Tiffany and Jake had a beautiful wedding day despite the snowy weather! This couple was pure fun and personality...and I think it really shows in their photos! The Oquirrh Mountain Temple was gorgeous and the "Woods on Ninth" was a beautiful reception spot! These two had more friends and family than any couple I can remember and it was easy to see why...they were so fun and laid-back! I wish you both the best in your future together and I hope you LOVE these pictures! Congrats!

Utah Wedding Photography- Thanksgiving Point Bridals

2011-11-16T13:24:00.001-08:00

Ashlee (who happens to have a fabulous name...don't ya think?) has the ability to enter the Thanksgiving Point Gardens anytime she'd like, even when they are closed for the season! Her father is the manager over the gardens and gave us special access. It was SO nice not to fight the crowds and to have any shot availble immediately! We took full advantage of the scenery and the beautiful autumn colors were abundant. She was gorgeous wherever we placed her and I loved how her jewlery sparkled in every shot! What a fun shoot...hope you love these!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Salt Lake Temple & Joseph Smith Memorial Building

2011-11-07T12:10:00.000-08:00

Emily and Archie were surrounded by family from around the world for their Big Day! Archie's family comes from the Bahamas and several different states and Emily's family traveled from California. What a wonderful reunion and chance to celebrate! It was a beautiful day at the Salt Lake temple and everything went smooth and easy. Emily and Archie couldn't have been sweeter and I simply enjoyed being around them! I hope they love these photos for years to come...congratulations guys!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Provo Castle bridals

2011-11-01T14:03:00.000-07:00

Emily is stunning and every shot we took of her was gorgeous! I loved the just turning to fall...but not brown and dead yet...surroundings we found at the "castle" in Provo! I loved this sleek and slightly vintage dress she wore and the broch in her hair really added to the look! It was so fun to spend time with Emily...her wedding was the next day...photos from her Salt Lake wedding day coming soon!

Utah Wedding Photographer - Sundance wedding

2011-10-27T12:57:00.000-07:00

Caitlyn and Elmer chose to be married in the gorgeous Sundance canyon on the backside of Timpanogos Mountain. They have a family cabin and it just happend to be one of the most beautiful autumn days I can remember! Every detail was perfection and Caitlyn's mom made one of the prettiest cakes I have seen...the leaves are chocolate!! She also had some spruced up "Toms" that were comfort and adorable all-mixed into one! It was a great day and I hope you love these photos...congratulations Caitlyn and Elmer!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Sleepy Ridge Bridals

2011-10-22T12:33:00.000-07:00

Jen and Jordan decided to do their bridal shoot at the gorgeous Sleepy Ridge Golf Course! It's also the location where they will have their reception in a few short weeks! The sunset was beautiful and we took full advantage of the flowers that were still hanging around! I love the sash that Jen made for her dress...she is seriously one of the most creative people I know and is hand-making most of the fabulous details for her Big Day!! Anyways, I loved this shoot and I hope you enjoy the photos!!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Salt Lake Temple & Le Jardin reception

2011-10-20T13:36:00.000-07:00

Katie and Lucas came into town from Arizona for their beautiful wedding...so bridals and wedding day happend within a day of eachother! The weather was fickle at the temple...so we got beautiful sun-filled shots, rainy shots and cloudy shots! Mostly it was gorgeous and everything went smoothly. Their reception at Le Jardin in Sandy was amazing...the perfect indoor, that feels so outdoor, location! I was so excited to be a part of their Big Day and wish them all the best of luck in their future together! Congratulations guys!

Utah Wedding and Family Photography- Utah Lake

2011-10-20T13:16:00.000-07:00

The Perry family just makes me smile! I have been taking their photos for years and they are just simply one of the sweetest families I know! This year we headed out to Utah Lake (which was surprisinly freezing and windy!). The kids were absolute troopers! They also wanted to take some fun shots in their Halloween costumes...they were all pirates together! I loved it! Don't these photos make you happy?

Utah Wedding Photographer- Le Jardin, Sandy Bridals

2011-10-15T11:36:00.000-07:00

Katie and Lucas chose the gorgeous Le Jardin in Sandy, Utah for their bridals and their reception. The gardens were fabulous and the warmer-than-usual weather helped us have a beautiful session! Aren't these two perfection? They were so comfortable and it's one of the things I love about doing engagements shoots with my brides...then we are all comfortable by the time the wedding comes! Anyways, I had a hard time choosing favorites from this shoot...so you get to see a bunch of them! Wedding photos coming soon!

Utah Wedding Photography - Wallsburg Engagements

2011-10-07T13:56:00.000-07:00

Jenny and Jordan have been together for 6 years now...as you can probably guess they started dating in High School and Jenny waited, as patiently as she could, while Jordan served an LDS mission in Brazil. He barely made it off the plane and through his Homecoming talk before he proposed! Jenny is my sister-in-law and we are completely stoked that Jordan is about to become part of the family! They really are as sweet and adorable as they look and I am excited for their Big Day next month!
congratulations guys!

Utah Wedding and Family Photography- Cascade Springs, Midway

2011-10-06T12:45:00.000-07:00

I met the Robinson Family when I took Lindsey and Devon's wedding photos a couple years ago! Lindsey gave Kelly, her mother-in-law, a gift card for this session...it's a great gift idea to consider as the holidays approach! Kelly chose this beautiful location above Midway to do their family session...I had never been there before, but I loved the waterfalls, bridges, streams and fall colors! I have to say a special thank-you to these guys because I almost ran out of gas on the way home and they helped make sure I made it to the gas station and got on my way...what a great family! Hope you love these photos!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Hobble Creek Engagement

2011-10-05T11:54:00.000-07:00

Utah Wedding Photography- Engagement Springville

2011-09-30T12:52:00.000-07:00

Sean is my brother-in-law and the lucky guy who is engaged to Megan...I had so much fun taking their engagement photos!

Congratulations guys...can't wait for your Big Day!

2011-09-14T12:36:00.001-07:00

Alicia and Chris met on Match.com...they're my first wedding from an online dating service! Chris is a farmer in the boonies and Alicia can't wait to make that farm a home! I could hardly get these two to look away from eachother for a photo...so sweet! Anyways, I think these photos really show their fun personalities and turned out great...congratulations guys!

Utah Wedding Photographer - Wedding Album Layouts

2011-09-08T12:26:00.000-07:00

My sister got married way back last December...she loves me, so I am hoping she'll forgive me that it has taken this long to put her wedding album together! I am so excited about how the layouts turned out...I thought I'd share them! It was fun to do an out-of-state wedding too...always fun to try out new locations! Her wedding colors were black/white and pink so there are a lot of black & white pages. Anyways, enjoy these...more wedding photos coming soon!

Utah Wedding Photographer - Albums!

2011-08-30T11:23:00.001-07:00

Now that the crazy summer months are winding down the time has come to get to work finishing albums! I have been working hard to put together albums for the summer weddings and I think they have turned out great! I am so excited that I got the whole album thing off the ground this year and while it adds quite a bit of workload...I think the outcome is worth it! I hope all of you gorgeous brides agree!
So, I thought I'd share some of my favorite album layouts from the summer wedding season...enjoy and tell me what you think!

Utah Wedding Photography- Provo Engagements

2011-08-08T14:22:00.000-07:00

Katie and Lucas came all the way from Arizona for these engagements...alright, they might have had other reasons to be here too! We had a great time finding hidden gem locations around Provo...I LOVE the orange building with the green tree (it reminds me of an island in the Caribbean). Anyways, they were seriously adorable together (don't you just love her big blue eyes?) and I can't wait for the Big Day in October (Fall weddings are so gorgeous!). Enjoy these photos!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Oquirrh Mountain Temple Herriman

2011-08-02T13:33:00.000-07:00

Marrie and Jordan chose a beautiful sunny day for their Big Day! The Oquirrh Mountain Temple was gorgeous and the beach-themed reception had details galore! I loved the bright colors used throughout the day and Marrie and Jordan couldn't have been a sweeter couple. Besides a trip to the emergency room for Marrie's sweet sister (a decorating disaster that happend before the recpetion began)...the day went off without a hitch! Congratulations you two...and best of luck in your future together!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Mount Timpanogos Temple American Fork

2011-07-27T13:37:00.000-07:00

Stephanie and Aaron were surprised by the crazy rainstorm that came crashing down right as they were about to leave the temple! With a few adjustments and a bit of luck we were able to get beautiful photos of the two of them and all of their adorable family! It all turned out beautiful in the end and I was excited about these pictures...hope you enjoy them too...and congratulations Stephanie and Aaron!

Utah Wedding Photography- Provo La Jolla Groves Riverwoods

2011-07-13T13:20:00.000-07:00

Stephanie and Steve pulled this fabulous wedding off with only 4 weeks of planning! It was a beautiful backyard ceremony followed by dinner at the beautiful "La Jolla Groves" in Provo. Stephanie was a gorgeous bride and the two of them were simply smitten with eachother! I had a great time with them and their sweet families. I shouldn't play favorites...but can I just say I love these photos?? I hope you enjoy them too!

Utah Wedding Photography - Salt Flats Bridals

2011-07-11T12:19:00.000-07:00

Marrie wanted a unique look for her bridals and so we headed out to the Salt Flats...FYI it's farther than you think! The sunset was gorgeous and the sun's rays peeked through the clouds in the coolest way! We also had a great time with some fun props that Marrie brought with her. I really think these turned out great and I think Marrie's fun personality really shines through! Can't wait to see Marrie again on her Big Day!

Utah Wedding Photographer- Mapleton Wedding

2011-07-06T13:31:00.000-07:00

Cassie and Justin were perfectly smitten with eachother! This brightly decorated wedding was a perfect summer palette...the food and decor was put together by Pam with For Every Occasion. Besides being attacked by a killer ant (that was a first!) while wearing sandals...that will teach me to go climbing through the plants...it was a fabulous wedding day! Congratulations Cassie and Justin...I wish you all the best and I hope you enjoy these photos!

Utah Wedding Photographer - California Groomals

2011-06-28T20:05:00.000-07:00

On our annual trip out to California to visit my family I had the opportunity to take my sister's "after the wedding" groomals! Her wedding was back in December and the lighting got dark before we had a chance to take photos of the two of them together...besides, pictures at the beach are always fun! So, we took advantage of a gorgeous sunset and I think these turned out beautiful! I am back in town and have been busy with weddings this week...more pictures coming soon! Enjoy!

Utah Family Photography - BYU Belltower

2011-06-11T10:15:00.000-07:00

The Hansen family has been allowing me to take their family photos for several years and it has always been a pleasure! We found the BYU belltower was a beautiful location this time of year and the kids LOVED the baby ducks waddling around! I enjoyed the warm sunshine that finally has decided to grace us with it's presence! I really enjoyed taking these photos and hope you all enjoy looking at them!

Utah Wedding Photography- Provo and Utah Lake

2011-06-07T10:24:00.000-07:00

Marrie and Jordan chose two great locations to take their engagement photos! The "castle" in Provo (with orchard!) and Utah Lake were both beautiful and we were able to take advantage of both with the long summer evenings! The wind at Utah Lake was a little crazy (well...maybe a lot crazy!) but we made it work...with a few bobby pins and such! Anyways, I think these photos turned out adorable and show their fun personalities...can't wait for bridals, Marrie!

Utah Wedding Photography- Bridals in Mapleton

2011-06-03T12:37:00.000-07:00

I had a great time with Stephanie and Aaron the other night!

These two were so cute together and I am looking forward to seeing them again on their Big Day!

Utah Wedding Photography - Provo Utah Temple

2011-05-25T12:52:00.000-07:00

Eliza and Shenli were perfectly upbeat even though their wedding day was sprinkled with downpour rain showers! We found moments without rain for some great photos and then we just got creative when the rain would come out of nowhere! They were completely sweet and easy to work with and I actually enjoyed our wet photo shoot! Thanks for a fun and fabulous day at the temple guys and best of luck in your future!

Utah Wedding Photography - Mapleton Wedding

2011-05-23T09:36:00.000-07:00

They had a beautiful backyard ceremony and reception and were surrounded by friends and family. It was a wonderful day and it was a pleasure to be a part of their Big Day! I wish you guys all the best in your future together!

Utah Wedding Photography- Salt Lake Temple

2011-05-13T12:33:00.000-07:00

Shelby and Jake were just a fabulous couple...maybe I'm biased because Shelby is from my home-state(California!!)...maybe I am biased because Jake is my own husband's name...or maybe it was just the beautiful weather we enjoyed that day...I don't know but I sure had a great time taking their photos and taking advantage of the gorgeous grounds at Temple Square! It was what spring is "supposed" to look like around here...just tell that to Mother Nature! Anyways, Shelby's dress was gorgeous and unique, and she was a natural in front of the camera! Congratulations you two, hope you enjoy these photos!

Utah Wedding Photography- Salt Lake Temple and Noah's Lindon

2011-05-05T16:01:00.000-07:00

Ariel and Mark lucked out and our photos took place between 2 ominous storms...whew! They were troopers in the cold wind, and aren't they adorable? I could hardly get these 2 to look away from eachother! I was loving the Salt Lake Temple's tulips too! Noah's in Lindon was a great choice for their reception and the "Tiffany" blue accents were gorgeous! It was a great day and I wish them all the best in the future!

Utah Wedding Photographer - Baptism Photo Shoot

2011-04-28T13:13:00.000-07:00

My sweet Rylee is turning 8 years old and will be baptized next week. I always give my kids a photo shoot of their very own in their baptism outfit and then create an announcement to send to our loved ones. So, I just thought I'd post some of my favorite pictures from Rylee's shoot...she is unique, out-spoken, creative and completely loving and I am the luckiest Mom in the world! I was so excited to find some tulips and color...it hasn't felt like spring around here...but if you look carefully you can see signs that warmth is on the way!

Utah Wedding Photography - Salt Lake Temple

2011-04-23T14:05:00.000-07:00

It's always tricky to plan an April wedding...the weather here in Utah is so unpredictable!! Summer was a gorgeous bride and although we couldn't enjoy the brightly colored tulips outside, we made the best of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building! These two were completely smitten with eachother and we had a great time capturing their Big Day! Congratulations!

Utah Wedding Photography- Thanksgiving Point Bridal Shoot

2011-04-20T18:29:00.000-07:00

Ariel has the name of a famous princess and completely looked the part at Thanksgiving Point last week...in fact, many little girls stopped to look and say hi! The sun was shining and it was warm...we got really lucky on that one! It was a great day and a beautiful place...I had a really hard time choosing which photos to post, there were just tons of great ones! I can't wait to meet the Mr. on their big day in a week!!

She totally reminds me of Giselle from "Enchanted" in this one!!

Utah Wedding Photographer - Oquirrh Mountain Temple / Noah's South Jordan

2011-04-18T08:48:00.000-07:00

Tristen and Michael got married on an unusually cold April day...but I think we got some gorgeous pictures!! They were surrounded by family from Florida who were enjoying their first time in the snow!! The Oquirrh Mountain Temple was beautiful...I am a big fan of the fountain out front! The reception was held at Noah's Reception Center in South Jordan which was a fun location with great big windows (which made for great lighting!). It was also fun to work with Pam from For Every Occasion. Pam is located in Utah County and will coordinate everything you need for a beatiful and unique wedding! Congratulations on your Big Day Tristen and Michael and thanks for letting me be a part of it!

2011-04-04T12:43:00.000-07:00

Tristen will be getting married at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple next week and really wanted greenery and flowers for her bridal photos. We had to search to find colors, but we found some lurking around Provo and I think these turned out beautiful! These adorable little girls are going to be her step-daughters...isn't she lucky?? We had a great time together and I am so excited to meet the Mr. at the wedding!!

Jessica and David had a beautiful winter wedding! The Salt Lake Temple was quiet and calm (not a luxury we enjoy there during the summer!) and although it was cold, we made the best of the beautiful sunshine! They were such a sweet couple and totally peaceful on their big day...it was a pleasure to work with them! Their reception in Orem was full of friends and family and a wonderful evening. It was a lot of fun to be working on a wedding and I am looking forward to taking more wedding photographs as the Spring arrives! I hope you enjoy these!

It would absolutely make my day if you posted my blog button on your own blog! It's so easy to do...simply copy the code under the button, go to your own blog, add a gaget (choose java/html), paste the code and voila!! Let me know if you do this and I will send you a coupon for $5 off your next sitting! Besides, this button would look so pretty on your blog...don't ya think?

The Scott family is a lot of fun and up for anything in the snow! I LOVE snow pictures...especially with people who are will to have a bit of an adventure! We enjoyed the beautiful weather and I think we captured their fun personalities...I hope you enjoy these pictures. If are interested in doing a "snow shoot" let me know and we'll pencil you in!

Brooke is my baby sister and I can't believe she's married! I had so much fun as the photographer at her wedding! Everything was gorgeous (my Mom was the coordinator...if you want a gorgeous wedding, she's the one to call!) and delicious. It's always fun to be at a wedding where I know everyone...and it's easy to take photos of the kids when they are my own! Anyways, it was a great party atmosphere (which is the best for taking pictures!) and we all had a fun time! Congratulations Brooke and Kyle...we love you!

Logan and Andrea met while they were Forest Rangers together at the Timpanogos Cave...isn't that so sweet? They really were so comfortable together and we had a great time up American Fork Canyon. It was surprisingly warm for a December afternoon and we found color on some mossy rocks and I loved the snow we found higher up the canyon. I am so happy to be shooting brides again! Tell me what you think of these!

While I was in California visiting my family for Thanksgiving I was able to take my sister, Brooke's, bridal photos! She was very excited to take them at the beach...and isn't her dress amazing? The beautiful sunset was perfect and we couldn't have asked for better beach weather (which made driving home in a blizzard such a bummer!). Anyways, she looks gorgeous and I hope you enjoy these photos!

The Tuckett family used one of my gift certificates for their sitting ( a great idea if you need a Christmas gift or stocking stuffer!). I did Amanda and Justin's wedding photos and I was really excited when they called me up for these family photos...always a huge compliment! It was a chilly day, but the kids were such troopers and I think these turned out great! Let me know what you think!

Merry Early Christmas!

This is the fabulous Arave family! I have been taking their pictures since Jace was just a tiny guy...and now he's getting to be all grown up! I really do think we enjoyed the last nice weather day of the season! It was chilly, but the sun was out and we kept moving to stay warm! This location is always fun and full of lots of choices...we took advantage of all of them. I love the personality that shines in these photos and I hope you enjoy them too!

I love the Stevenson Family...in fact, I am trying arrange a marriage between two of our children...we'll see how that goes in about 17 years:)! Jeremy was home from Iraq (he is currently deployed there) for a 10 day visit and it was my privilege to take their family pictures while he was here...I tried to be efficient so as not to take too much of their precious family time up! Anyways, I always love the colors of this red barn (especially with their colorful clothes!) and we were able to work around the unpredictable Utah weather to make things work! I hope you guys love these pictures!

The Larsen family was "picture-perfect" and the kids were so sweet...they reminded me a lot of my own little ones! I had a great time finding spots around one of my favorite locations...the sunsets at this barn are always gorgeous! Even though this spot was a bit more crowded than I prefer...we made it look secluded and distant! I had a hard time choosing photos to show-off...so enjoy a bunch of them!

The Shaw family had to wait to take their family pictures until after Halloween. Mr. Shaw grew out some fabulous sideburns to be Wolverine for Halloween (really, they were quite impressive)...unfortunately, Mrs. Shaw didn't want Wolverine in the family pictures. It turned out that great weather held out into the first week of November and we were still able to get great fall pictures done! It took some hunting around to find beautiful colors, but it was worth the hike and I think these turned out great! Hope you guys love these!

The Molen family always looks so put-together, I knew they would look adorable for their photo session...and they did not disappoint! We knew the weather would be a close call, but since we had already rescheduled once for weather, we decided to try our luck. We did one of the quickest sessions ever, but they were so cooperative and adorable, it was just enough time! The pouring rain began right as we got in our cars to leave...close call! Anyways, I really enjoyed this session up Hobble Creek Canyon and hope you all love these pictures!

The Smiths have come to me for their grandkid's photos for several years...each time, there are a few more of them! They are such a sweet family and I am grateful for fun families that keep coming back each year...it really makes my work fun! They decided to go in-studio this time to keep the kids contained...I think it worked well! I couldn't show all the individuals...so here's a few of my favorite groups!

I just love their sad expressions in this one...don't worry, we got happy ones too...but this one just makes me smile!

Utah Wedding and Family Photography - Alpine Art Center

2010-10-23T11:06:00.000-07:00

The Malouf family picked the Alpine Art Center location for their family pictures...I have never been there before, but what a great little spot! It felt secluded, even though it was right off the road! They were so easy to work with and I had a great time getting to know them. I think we captured their sweet personalities and got some great shots...hope you guys love these!

2010-10-21T12:01:00.000-07:00

This extended family was so fun to shoot and the location they found was full of treasures! It was fun to roam around this huge antique-filled property and find fun spots...totally worth the drive up to Heber. Anyways, thanks guys for a fun morning, I hope you love these shots...I really think they capture your personality!

This is the Clark family (yep...we're related!)and aren't they fabulous? Holly sews the most adorable kids clothes you've ever seen...check them out at www.hotchpotchcute.com It's always nice to take pictures of kids who know me...they are just alot more comfortable and easy to work with! We had a gorgeous sunset to take advantage of and when we were done they got me an Art City Special salad from the Art City Trolley(if you haven't tried it...you must!)...that's a great way to get your photo retouching done in a hurry...bribery! Well, I am really excited about how these turned out...hope you love them!

2010-10-18T12:17:00.000-07:00

I am so glad the Pixton family came to me for family pictures again this year...they are so sweet and easy to work with! We decided to head up to the Sundance Resort, which really is beautiful this time of year. I love some of the hidden spots we found up there. When we were all done taking pictures little William said, "See ya next year!" which was such a sweet compliment...but actually you will get to see extended family photos of these guys coming very soon! Hope you guys love these!

This is the Hobson Family...they have 4 year old triplets and a sweet little 2 year old guy...they are busy! Each of the triplets has a totally unique personality and the little guy just adores his mom...I had a great time taking their photos. We enjoyed being outdoors in Hobble Creek Canyon with all the fall colors and sunset. What a great way to spend the evening! Hope you guys love these.

The Feller family is the kind of family I would like to hang out with on a Friday night...maybe just because they remind me so much of my own family. I also loved photographing them because they are just so adorable! The bright colors that coordinate without "matching" was a perfect look too. We had a great time enjoying one of the last warm days of Fall and this quaint little town was full of fun little spots.

How cute is the Richins family? I had the opportunity to take the Richins and Feller family's photos (Feller post coming soon!) down by Goshen Utah...this adorable town is full of vintage locations...if you want something different and fun this little town is great! Their little guy was such a trooper and just chill the whole time! I loved this shoot...enjoy!

2010-10-01T12:48:00.000-07:00

The Eaton Family is one of my favorites...that's partly because Ali is our babysitter and my kids adore her...and honestly...I adore her too! In fact, this session was a birthday present for her mom that Ali bought through a babysitting trade...I always love a great trade and think I got the better end of that bargain! Anyways, we enjoyed the beautiful warm fall weather we have been having here in Utah, as well as, the turning leaves! I think these pictures are great and I hope you agree!

The Perry family has been letting me take their family pictures for several years now...aren't I lucky?! They are so sweet and always make their sessions fun and unique. I LoVEd that they brought a motorcycle to this session and I also loved how the leaves were just starting to turn colors up in the canyon...hooray for fall! I hope you guys adore these photos as much as I adore you!

One of the things I love about doing photography is getting to meet great people...so thanks guys for a wonderful session! Hope you love these!

I just had fun watching Jessi and McKay together...they adore eachother! We had a great time finding places around Riverwoods that weren't surrounded by yellow construction tape (I think we did pretty good!) and then we headed out to one of my favorite barns. I really enjoyed taking their pictures because they were so comfortable with eachother and also with me...it really makes for great pictures when you bring your personality! Congratulations on the upcoming wedding guys!

Natalie and David had a perfect wedding day at the Provo Temple (which is one of my favorite places)! They looked fabulous and the weather cooperated (which was questionable for awhile!). I LoVe garden wedding receptions and this one was gorgeous. The cookie table was full of good stuff and the candy table was a huge hit! Also, the gelato was delicious...food was everywhere! It was a pleasure to be a part of their big day and I wish them all the best!

I loved the details in their wedding...the bright colors were everywhere (and the food was delicious)!

Natalie looked gorgeous in this gown that her mother helped design. The weather was toasty warm, but she was cool, calm and glowing (not glistening!) the whole time! It really was a fun time at the "castle" and orchard and I think these turned out just great...can't wait to meet the other half on the big day!

2010-07-15T12:36:00.001-07:00

I have been so busy the past couple weeks with family and wedding photo sessions that I haven't had a chance to post anything here! Sorry about that! So, here's a peek at what I have been up to! Enjoy!

I got to travel to Schofield Reservoir to take this gorgeous family's photos! The location was beautiful and the family was pure fun! It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it!

This family hadn't had pictures done since their daughter was 3 years old...it had been awhile. Don't they just look like they love eachother...it's the kind of family you want to join!!

This little guy was precious...not very sleepy...until it was time to leave, but precious none-the-less!

Ashley's bridals were so fun...I got lost on the way (which was so embarrassing!), but once we got things going they went super smooth! The Red Butte Gardens in Salt Lake were so beautiful and Ashley and Geoff looked stunning...a big thanks to her Dad for his great work with the reflector! Anyways, hope you enjoy these and I can't wait to see you guys for the Big Day!

Camille and Drew's big day was flawless! The lucky couple were happy and comfortable. The weather was perfect, the temple was lovely, the reception had fabulous food, great music and lots of friends...I suppose they couldn't have imagined it better. It was just a pleasure to be there and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I hope these pictures capture all of the fun of the day. Camille and Drew, congrautlations and I hope Park City was perfectly relaxing.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your day guys...and congratulations!

2010-06-10T20:19:00.000-07:00

So, it has taken me over a month to find time to post these photos! These are from the wonderful Style Lab photography workshop I went to in California last month. The workshop was so fun and gave me a million ideas (now to find the time to implement them!). Anyways, the instruction was great and then we had a chance to photograph this mock wedding...it was gorgeous! Thank you to Chenin Boutwell of Boutwell Studios and Amy and Jocey at the Wedding Chicks blog for putting on a fabulous day! Enjoy!

There were about 20 photographers taking photos...you can see arms and cameras in my way on this one...but there's just something about this shot that I love!

The Harward girls were one of the first photography sessions I had. They are so sweet and part of one of my favorite families! I am so excited that they have a new baby brother too...I have 3 girls and then had a baby boy...so I guess I'm a little biased. Anyways, we had a good time finding beautiful flowers and enjoying the sunshine. Congratulations on the newest little one, I hope you guys love these!

Ali and Greg are the sweetest couple...they are so down-to-earth and from great families! No drama...just joy on their big day! The weather was crazy that day and so the temple was sunny, but windy and unfortunately the reception was moved indoors, but it was beautiful and perfect. I loved Ali's unique dress and hair and the decorative details at the reception were fun and creative. I had a hard time choosing photos from this one...they were all fabulous!

This is my little sister, Brooke! She just had her 20th birthday and I decided to give her a photo shoot for her birthday gift. We had a blast trying out this fun location and even though it rained (surprise, surprise)...we had a great time! Doesn't she look gorgeous?? I decided during this shoot that I need to have a photo shoot of my own done too...someday.

Utah Wedding Photography - Timpanogos Temple

2010-05-18T14:18:00.000-07:00

Jallaye and Kenny were radiant on their big day...this was due, in part, to the fact that it was one of the only sunny and warm days we've had around here! The flowers at the Timpanogos Temple were gorgeous and in bloom. The day was flawless. All of the dresses (bride, bridesmaids & flower girls) were handmade by the mother of the bride...WOW! I loved all of the details they had around the reception too! I hope these photos always bring them wonderful memories. Congratulations guys, I hope Disneyland was a BLAST!

2010-05-12T13:02:00.000-07:00

Rachel and Greg didn't let the rain dampen their day at all! They looked amazing and I think we got some gorgeous shots! We took advantage of all the beautiful locations between rain storms...and who could complain when there was delicious Cold Stone ice cream on hand? They had a HUGE wedding party and it was just a testament to how sweet these two are...lots of friends and family. I love how they all threw colored candy sprinkles at the couple as they left for the honeymoon! Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day guys and congratulations!
