Jordan's Bridals

Jordan is an amazing dancer and she was excited to do some ballerina bridals. She and I worked together on a portrait shoot earlier this year and I was looking forward to shooting her again. I've been experimenting with different lighting techniques and scenarios recently, and I really like how some of these shots turned out.
Makeup and hair was done by Catherine of Beautiful You Makeup. She's great, and if you're getting married or having photos taken of you, you should check out what they do.
Jordan has become a good friend, and I wouldn't be surprised if she continued to show up in my work from time to time in the future.

Peterson Formals

We did this bride and groom shoot in Gardner Village in West Jordan, and had a wonderful time. It was their three month anniversary, and Betsy had lovingly coerced Matt into celebrating that fact by recreating some of their wedding day in front of a camera. Matt said as a rule he does NOT enjoy having photos taken of him, but being a good husband he agreed to do it and was a wonderful sport during the whole process.
I had heard wonderful things about Gardner Village as a place to shoot, and they were all true! I look forward to bringing more of my clients there for both wedding photography and other portrait photo shoots.

Cubbie's Bridals

About a month ago I went on an trip down to Eureka with Cubbie, a model I met who had recently acquired a really fun lacy vintage wedding dress. Cubbie was looking to expand her bridal model portfolio with something different, and I thought it sounded fun. Cubbie was loads of fun to work with, and while the dress certainly was not what most people think of nowadays when they think "wedding dress", it worked beautifully in the shoot. The dress was a great match for the old and abandoned buildings in Eureka, and the general "old-timey" feel of the streets and surroundings.

Jorgensen Formals

Nate and Emily were a wonderful couple to work with. They were married in the Washington, DC Temple about three months ago and wanted some more wedding pictures now that they had gotten back to Utah; we ended up getting some beautiful shots around the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and Emily was AWESOME about tromping around with her dress and high heels in the fields surrounding the grounds to get some of the angles we were going for.

Thelma and Shadrack

Thomas and I went for a drive today through the Alpine Loop to scout out locations for some upcoming fall color shoots and to see how many trees had changed colors already (I LOVE this time of year!). Just after we reached the summit and started down the other side towards Sundance we saw a bride and groom posing for photos, and someone taking pictures with what looked to be a cell phone. Thomas and I stopped and said hi, and after a few minutes it turned out that their camera had died a little earlier, and so they were getting a few more shots with an Iphone. As I had my camera with me (never leave home without it! ;) I offered to snap a couple and email the photos free of charge- Thelma and Shadrack are due to be married this Friday in Spanish Fork Utah, and I was pleased to be able to offer a small gift to the happy couple.

Sarah's Bridals

As promised, here are a few of the pics from the wedding shoot of Sarah and Jay that we did so Sarah could have some Bridals for herself and for her model portfolio. Sarah is gorgeous and I loved some of the poses and images we were able to get. My husband Thomas was along for this shoot and helped out with lighting... I think I am getting addicted to my light stand and shoot-through umbrella. :D

Osorio Family

A little under two weeks ago, I met up with the Osorio family in my new favorite park in Orem. The family was together for the first time in two years as their oldest son Jonathan had just returned from an LDS mission to Hawaii. It was great to see how happy they were to be together again, and I was glad to be able to take their first family photos in such a long time.

Alexis and Alan's Engagements

I met Alexis when she was a bridesmaid at Mike and Crystal's Wedding. It turned out that she was recently engaged, and I was able to take a few extra shots of Alan and Alexis at the reception. They decided they liked what they saw and asked me to shoot their wedding on Nov 20 in Bountiful. A little over a week ago we met up in American Fork to do their engagement pictures. We went to a park near Mt Timpanogos Temple and then found a couple places downtown that had some really fun backdrops.

They were great to work with, and I am looking forward to both shooting Alexis' bridals with fall colors and shooting their wedding in a couple months.

Tyau Wedding

Sarah and Jay were excited to get some Bride and Groom wedding pictures, as they didn't have the chance to have a professional photographer when they were married. They were sealed in the Mt Timpanogos Temple, and we had a good time getting some new shots I hadn't tried before. I was excited to get some more pictures from the field across the street from the temple; I had gone there for a previous bridal shoot, but it hadn't really occurred to me to take a couple there on their actual wedding day!

Sarah and Jay have two beautiful children, and I was absolutely amazed that she could still fit in her wedding dress! We also did some bridal pictures for Sarah- stay posted to see more.
