How to enjoy your wedding day |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

Weddings often have an unlimited amount of moving pieces. From the venue, to flowers, cake, dress, tux, photographer and so much more. Now with Pinterest out there it can make things even more overwhelming. You have access to so many ideas to make your wedding day special and if you're not careful, it quickly becomes overwhelming.

Ashley and family |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

It's happening! Utah is finally seeing a little more snow and its gorgeous. We got a 

snow day a few weeks ago but it didn't really stick so we'll see how this week goes? Now

that Thanksgiving is over it's time to plan for Christmas and hope we have a white Christmas. 

Ashley and Brady |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

I always am incredibly flattered when another photographer asks me to do their photos. 

Not only does it validate my own work but it definitely gives a boost 

of confidence to know they trust you to take images they will always treasure. 

Ashley wanted something warm with gorgeous greens and so for her session we decided to do them at Big Cottonwood which is always a big hit! 

Thank you Ashley for trusting me with your photos and I hope you love how they turned out!

Jessie and Josep |Provo City Center Temple, Utah|

Jessie contacted me needing someone to do her photos last minute and I am so incredibly humbled she chose me to capture her special day. They met in Colorado through a mutual friend and remained friends for several months after Jessie taught in Arizona. Jessie thought they would be just friends when Joseph surprised her and asked her out! He asked her out to a movie and the've been together ever since!

Hannah & Henry Salt Lake City Temple Wedding |UTAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER|

This couple was the absolute sweetest couple last year. The family was so incredibly great to work with and I was also hired to do her sister Caroline's wedding just a month later. I always love when I get couples that have fun in front of the camera and are up for anything. 

Im not the best at blogging but eventually I will get their reception at the Capitol posted :)

Until then I leave you with their adorable temple exit!

Josh and Suzanne |UTAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER|

I was so excited to photograph Josh and Suzanne's wedding at Louland Falls. After meeting them and discussing their wedding details I know they would be a perfect fit! I had done a wedding last year at Louland Falls close to Park City but it was raining cats and dogs so I didn't get to explore as much!

This time it was a sunny day in May and we did some fun formals after their ceremony! 

Sarah & Parker Salt Lake City, Temple Wedding |UTAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER|

When it comes to your wedding day, there are so many little details that matter. One little thing can add so much stress to an already important day. Sarah’s sister Mackenzie left me a voicemail in a panic looking for a photographer for her sister wedding.

Unfortunately, their photography had an injury, which would require surgery and was no longer able to photograph the wedding.

Breanna and Mark - Sleepy Ridge |UTAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER|

Breanna and Mark are an adorable couple that were referred to me from a family I worked with last year. This is the second marriage for both of them and you couldn't even tell by the way they showed their love and how well all their kiddos got along. Just like their engagement session Mark spent most of the day making Breanna laugh and subtly giving her kisses on the sly.

Breanna looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress from Bridal Brilliance. As a mom of a 2 year old and another one due any day now, she definitely gave me mom envy and I pray I look half as good after having 2 kids!

They had their wedding at Sleepy Ridge in Orem and the best part was when the music came on and everyone got on the dance floor and just cut loose! While brides get all the attention when it comes to their ring, Breanna definitely nailed it by having her fingerprint on the inside of the Mark's ring. Congratulations you two and I wish you only the best! 

Peaches and Lemons, Provo Orchard |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

As a creative, your mind is constantly racing, thinking and finding new ways to bring to life something amazing. As a photographer, I have been able to block out things in my life and literally breath again through my work.

Breath. This is what this session helped me do. It literally helped bring life and joy back into my life. Not only did I get to work with 2 amazing couples but I got to work with other photographers and creative that love creating work just as much as I do. In this field its easy to get caught up in getting ahead but being part of a community is so much more rewarding.

Kara, Friday night & rooftops |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

Kara is a gorgeous model that was brave enough to bear the crazy cold and windy Friday night to get some amazing photos on rooftop during her Friday night. We both braved some crazy Salt Lake City traffic and barely got 45 minutes out of our session because it was that cold! Anytime there is wind it gets that much colder!

When I scheduled the session, I had wanted to do a session in downtown Salt Lake for the longest time I was giddy with excitement when Kara became available. Our session was done right as we started to get more gorgeous sunsets and the days started to get longer, which only got me more excited for the warmer months and more sunset sessions.

Downtown Utah Bridals | UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER

One of my favorite aspects about photography is the fact that I get to meet so many amazing people and work with amazing creatives. Workshops are something I do to stay current and let myself get creative without any pressure. I got to attend this gorgeous workshop session put together by Nhiya Kaye Photography. The following vendors did such an amazing job!

Annie at Publik Coffee shop |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

I have seen Publik come up and obsessed with how diverse the studio is. I reached out to Annie and was thrilled when she said she was up to do a session there. If you're looking for a unique wedding space, check this place out! You won't regret it. It's in Downtown Salt Lake City and right of the free way. Order a cup of coffee and walk around, there is so much to see <3

Heather and Scott |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

I got to meet Heather And Scott last year 

when I offered fall mini sessions and fell in love with them immediately! 

I cant help but fall in love with a couple when the guy is incredibly easy 

to work with and is down for anything! 

Winter Session with Lexi |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

Working with Over the Top Floral is always such a great idea! 

This time her adorable daughter tagged along, her features are insane and she's like 16.. Shocking I know. 

This session was a bit difficult for me. I got hit with a crazy flu and being 4 months pregnant with limited options available in regards to medicine, 

to say it was a difficult weekend would be an understatement. 

To make matters things more interesting, the cold air literally made me feel 10 times worse. 

Luckily I was working with an amazing florist that was incredibly understanding 

and a pretty cool teenager. 

Check out this amazing session below! 

Liam + snow = A D O R A B L E |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

Ladies and gentlemen, meet one of the coolests 

(THE coolest in my humble opinion) tiny humans on this planet. 

This little man has SO MUCH energy it's crazy. From the moment he wakes up to the second

he goes to sleep hes going non-stop. 

From running up and down, taking me all over the house

to calling me to talk gibber; mom, mom, mom, mom.

Nothing makes me feel happier than hearing him call me. 

As soon as I responded the first time his favorite word became mom 

and I am totally okay with that. :)
