Jacob and Tamara











Tami is a fellow photographer, so it was a huge compliment that she decided to hire me as her wedding photographer. :)
She was very much into detail, so we went to a lot of places for their engagement session. We had so much fun it was a blast to shoot the canoe and beach cruisers. SOOO fun!

Nathan and Lindsay











Nathan and Lindsay Duffy were one of my three brides I had on May 2nd. Greg did this wedding in Seattle, while I did two at the Salt Lake Temple. Greg has the best story about almost missing his plane. Ultimately he got to the gate and the plane was gone, so he told them to bring the plane back. He kept saying that over and over until they brought the plane back. If he missed that flight he wouldn't have been able to do the wedding. He did an amazing job. It was pouring rain the entire day, but the bride and groom were such good sports!

Sara












Nick and Sara are getting married in Cody, WY next Saturday the 11th of July. I am so bad when it comes to last minute. Sara was so ridiculously stunning that it was super easy to process her images. She is just absolutely gorgeous!

Jason and Stephanie










Jason and Stephanie have the cutest little boy named Bryton. He is such a cutie! I loved that they wanted him in their engagement session. We definitely had some cute candid moments at the Great Salt Lake.

"Mckenzie--
I just want to say thank you. I have not seen the pictures yet, but I have a feeling they look great. We had a great time taking them and I just wanted to say thank you and your amazing. I appreciate you taking the time to make sure the pictures we perfect.

Thank you so much.
Stephanie"

Stephanie and Jason"

Laycock Family











I took Larry and Lisa Laycock's studio portraits a couple months ago. They are called as Mission Presidents so they needed some updated family portraits as well. I shot these in their ridiculously gorgeous backyard. I REALLY want a backyard that looks like this someday.
They were such a sweet and fun family to work with. Good luck out there!

Avenia





Avenia Bridal is a fabulous designer bridal boutique that offers gorgeous gowns that can have custom made sleeves to make them temple ready. Here are some shots I took of a bride with a gown before and after the sleeves were put on. This dress was stunning! She is actually getting married at the same time as my step-brother (Dane) in the same temple, so I am most likely going to see them on the temple grounds at the same time. What a small world!

Dan and Melissa


















Dan and Melissa are getting married in Texas, which is Melissa's home state. We took their engagements on two different days. The evening that we shot at the Great Salt Lake Dan and Melissa missed the exit and noticed that they were in Layton... Yikes! Not only that, but all of a sudden a crazy wind storm came in. Ok, it was so cold and windy that if I turned my head I felt like I was deaf. I am amazed at how fabulous I am sometimes. With Greg busting out some off camera flash, we were able to shoot not only with all of the cloud cover, but after the sun set. I think they were so romantic.

Why doesn't anyone post any comments? I need some comments people! And some more followers!
