Sneak Peak of my Weekend

I had an amazing and busy weekend photographing two weddings and doing an additional shoot for a project on Autism Awareness (many posts about this project to come soon).

The first wedding on Friday was at the LDS Draper Temple. I felt this temple really fit with Amy's style because the architecture and style of the building facade is more modern and Amy's wedding had a very modern style. Her reception at the Blue Lemon in Highland had a chic look that Amy enhanced with her decorations. I loved documenting this fun day!

The second wedding was on Saturday at the Holy Trinity Church - a Greek Orthodox Church in Salt Lake City. The ceremony was a gorgeous small ceremony with a total of seven people including the bride, groom, and priest! I loved the intimate feel that remind me of my own wedding (my husband and I only had 8 guests at our wedding ceremony). It was the first greek wedding I have ever seen. The church is beyond gorgeous! The architecture, stain glass and paintings are stunning works of art produced by the finest craftsmen. Some of the materials of the building were imported from Italy and add to the character and beauty of this exquisite building. I felt close to God through my experience there.

Enjoy these teasers until I edit more of the photos!

Sneak Peak of my first birth story!

This was a wonderful experience!!! The mother called me Saturday night around 7pm to tell me she was in labor. I grabbed my equipment and quickly drove up to her house. Her son was born into the arms of his father at their home at 1am Sunday morning. It was a beautiful birth that I was so honored to document. More (modest) photos to come!

My favorite photograph!

When Candace and I spoke just days before her bridal session I mentioned the possibility of using some props that go with the theme of her wedding (her wedding had a undertone of Tim Burton style). She brought a box of props and I brought an old antique chair and we had a blast!! It was so fun to work with props and produce photographs that had a story behind them in addition to the standard shots. I have decided that I need to do themed photography shoots more often! The session go so much better, the images are more fun and we just have a blast!! Here is my absolute favorite shot from Candace & Todd's session. I worked with the colors to set the mood of the photograph and I have to say, I love the results. Enjoy and check back soon for the rest of their beautiful wedding!

Payton's Newborn Portraits

This little girl was such an angel it made me want a baby!! Then luckily she started crying and I was brought back to reality. haha But seriously she was great to work with!! She is ADORABLE and I just want to eat up these photographs! I saw a baby wrap on some newborn portraits from Jessica Kettle Photography and fell in love with it!! So my amazing sister croqueted it for me and this was the first chance I had to use it. I love it!!

Houston Wedding

Ah the joys of traveling!! I absolutely LOVED flying out and spending the weekend shooting Rebecca & Michael's wedding. It was so fun and a nice break from cold Utah. The weather was beautiful and a warm 87 degrees. They also had Sarah from Camelot Studios fly out for the wedding video. Oh we had way too much fun shooting together! I don't want to hurt the other wedding videographers feelings, but she is my favorite.

Becca & Michael originally were going to get married in Utah. When the wedding was moved to Texas, they discovered that SAVED THEM MONEY to fly me out there rather than to hire a photographer in Texas. My prices are just that competitive!! So if you think you can't afford a photographer for your wedding think again! Call to set up a consultation and we will chat about how to make your wedding memories beautiful. (801) 577-4400

We had a ton of fun!! Here is a sneak peak from their wedding. I will defiantly be posting more soon so check back!
