Salt Lake Wedding Photographer
Congratulations to Brittany and Scott on their wedding today at the Salt Lake City Temple. We're headed to the Springville Art Museum for the reception but had a couple minutes to post a sneak peak!
Realized we never did a post for Amy and Jordan's wedding! Here are a few highlights from their spring wedding at the Salt Lake Temple.
BreAnn and Jon were actually married about 3 years ago. We shot an "engagement" shoot for them the fall after they were married, and BreAnn said that one day we would do a formals (aka "groomals" and "bride and groom photos") shoot for them. Formals are one of the more common sessions we do, whether they are about to get married, whether they are already married but didn't quite get what they were looking for. Sometimes we'll do a formal shoot if wedding day coverage doesn't quite fit into the budget, and most of all we'll do formals if the couple just wants to have awesome wedding photos where we are free to pick the location, timing, flow, and feel of the session. Formals are my absolute favorite type of shoot to do.
I absolutely fell in love with this staircase. I love the contrast, the texture, and the colors! It was only after we finished that we noticed the signs warning about dangerous rust of the supports and structure... :-/
Well all's well that ends well, right?
I love shooting with some more direct sunlight, because if you do it right, you get that perfect backlighting to make the colors pop, and still get the fill for your couple.
And this last photo is actually just one I stopped and snapped on a whim as we were walking by on our way to the car. I looked over, and just had to stop. Such a gorgeous building!
Kelsey and Brandon were fabulous clients! They were excited and willing to do whatever it took to get great wedding photography. They are the kind of people who take the time to tell you, on their own wedding day, how fabulous you look all dressed up.
Kelsey and Brandon met up in Idaho- Kelsey was working as a nanny for a family and Brandon worked washing windows. One day Kelsey looked out the kitchen window and saw Brandon and that, as they say, was that. They rapidly found out how awesome the other person was, and we fast forward to today!
Just look how happy they are strolling out the doors of the temple!
The Temple grounds looked unreal with this light sprinkling of snow- it was absolutely gorgeous!!
Love this next one- just a quiet moment with their happiness.
The best thing in the world is when your bride and groom are just beaming at each other.
Want to see more or order a print? Be sure and take a look at all of Kelsey and Brandon's different galleries here.
Erin and Todd at the Salt Lake City Temple- a perfect day.
I just noticed this part of temple square (below)- I LOVE IT.
One of the top reasons I liked working with Abbey and Taylor is even when things went wrong, sometimes disastrously so, they were still so pleasant and happy. They had had some fairly large hurdles to overcome with their formal session and as the day of the wedding came things seemed to continue in that same vein. Abbey and Taylor had extended family in town for the weekend, and apparently some of the nieces came bearing gifts in the form of plague. The little Typhoid Marys kindly shared a nice violent flu with everyone in the family, including the bride, a few days before the big day itself. Although Abbey was mostly feeling better by the morning of the wedding, on the way to the Salt Lake Temple she had an allergic reaction to something, and her eye swelled almost completely shut (fortunately a temporary situation!). Later, about halfway through the newlywed photos, Taylor's tux coat button popped off for the second time. Finally, someone accidentally spilled water over one of their favorite enlargements from the bridal session, right before the reception was due to begin. Despite this and the normal stress and craziness that come part and parcel in a wedding day, Abbey and Taylor were both happy, smiling, and thoroughly in love. It was extraordinary, and they were awesome!
I thought this was precious....
You got to be careful with a whole bunch of groomsman who are bigger than you. Crazy stuff happens. ;)
The entire wedding can be seen here. Go check it out!
