:: Paige :: Utah County Bridal Photographer

I wasn't able to post pictures of beautiful Paige's bridal session because her fiance (now husband) hadn't seen her dress.  I filed them away and forgot that I never posted them!  What a shame, because Paige makes a beautiful bride.

We took a few pictures at Salem Pond, but this one was my favorite from that location.

The rest of my pictures were taken in front of (and around) an old run down barn and I absolutely love how they turned out!  I think the reason I loved the location of the run down barn in Paige's bridals is because she was raised as an orchard farmer's daughter.

Paige has been married for about six months now, and it makes me happy to see her so happy!

:: Marc + Chelsi :: Utah County Wedding Photographer

I am in the process of trying to catch up on this blog.  From August until the new year, things were just crazy!  I realized I never did post any pictures from this beautiful wedding!

Marc and Chelsi are some of our close friends and we were so excited to be able to attend their sealing in the beautiful St. George temple.  Marc and Chelsi are one of the strongest couples we know - they have been through so much and are still standing strong together.  They are amazing!

  

Right when they walked out of the temple, you could see the look of pure happiness on both of their faces.

Marc kept me on my toes while we took pictures.  I think he gave one genuine smile for every ten funny faces.

Chelsi is stunning!

It was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple.  We are so lucky to call them our friends!

:: Terry & LeDessa :: Utah County Wedding Photographer

I got the opportunity a couple of weeks ago to photograph a beautiful wedding.  The wedding venue the beautiful Tuscany restaurant in Salt Lake City.  On the way up to the wedding, I was cringing at the weather.  It was freezing cold and snowing!  Lucky for us, we were still able to brave the snow and we ended up getting some beautiful images.   I'm not even half way through the editing, but I thought I'd show some of my favorites so far.

I got to the wedding early enough to sneak into the bridal suite and get some pictures of LeDessa while she was getting ready.

Terry gave LeDessa the beautiful necklace and bracelet - they matched her dress perfectly!

LeDessa and Terry were married in front of these beautiful stained glass windows.  We were still able to see the beautiful outdoors, but without freezing and getting snowed on.  It was perfect!

We took some pictures outside for about 15 minutes before the ceremony and about 15 minutes afterward.  For such a short amount of time, we got some really beautiful images.  It makes it easy when it's such a gorgeous couple!

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful.

It ended up being the perfect, intimate wedding.  Congratulations to LeDessa and Terry!

:: Nathan & Alishia's Bridals & Groomals :: Utah County Wedding Photographer

A couple of weekends ago, I headed back down to the Manti, Utah LDS Temple for a Bridal and Groomal session.  The weather forecast called severe thunderstorms all afternoon and through the evening.  I was so nervous!  It was far enough away from me (in Santaquin) and far enough away from Alishia (in Beaver) that we couldn't tell what the weather was like, but we decided to risk it and go anyway.  It was the right choice.  This was such an amazing session and I am just thrilled with the images we got.  They turned out absolutely gorgeous.  The best part will be next weekend, after the wedding, when we don't have to stress about time and not getting enough pictures of Nathan and Alishia outside the temple.

Alishia's wedding colors are yellow, grey, and a little burnt orange.  We thought it was perfect that the flowers outside the temple matched her colors.

The best part about the severe thunderstorm warnings was the gorgeous clouds.  They helped make some stunning pictures!

I loved the little touches they brought: yellow heels, fun socks, and the yellow umbrella.

Nathan and Alishia are getting married next weekend.  It should be a fun filled day!

:: Chad & Mandy, Mount Timpanogos LDS Temple :: Utah County Wedding Photographer

I was going through some of the sessions I've done this summer when I realized I never posted about Chad & Mandy's wedding.  Cad and Mandy were married in the Mount Timpanogos LDS Temple.  I could tell they were so incredibly happy when they walked out of the temple as husband and wife.

Mandy's bouquet was beautiful!  I loved the little splashes of the white flowers throughout it.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

:: Paul & Tahnee's Wedding, Manti LDS Temple :: Utah County Wedding Photographer

Paul and Tahnee's wedding was absolutely beautiful.  We were lucky enough to be invited to the actual wedding (sealing) in the Manti LDS Temple.  It was my first time ever being inside the Manti Temple (and only my second or third ever seeing the outside) and it was absolutely stunning.  It set the mood perfectly for the whole entire day.

Mr. & Mrs. Marshall!

It was a busy day at the Manti LDS Temple, we had to (im)patiently wait our turn for the stairs for the big group pictures.

Unfortunately, the sealing went a little longer than expected so we only had about 45 minutes to do all of their pictures.  Including the big group shots.  Ah!  We rushed and rushed and made it work, but I really wish we would have had more time to spend doing more pictures of Paul and Tahnee by themselves.

I technically wasn't hired to do pictures at the reception, but I brought along my camera to make sure to get a picture of the bouquet and rings and the cake.  The reception was beautiful!  Tahnee did all the decorations by herself and they turned out absolutely perfect.

The beautiful wedding cake.

Tahnee had the most beautiful bouquet I've ever seen!  I loved the combination of roses, berries, and the brain plants (I had no idea what they were really called, but thanks to google I learned they are called cockscomb).  Beautiful!

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Marshall!
