Lauren + Jake {formals}

It was POURING rain and snow all day the day we took these pictures. It actually rained until just twenty minutes before we got to the Salt Flats. We were praying it would stop and we got our wish-SUPER SUNNY (not warm) but REALLY sunny. I wore my rain boots just in case, so I was super styling out there ;D Jake and Lauren are really easy to photograph, so that made it fun. Lauren’s brother Ryan came a long too and shot an amazing film for them (watch it below). So worth the drive for sure!!! Her dress is from the Bride’s Shop; Hair and Make-Up by Moore Design-these girls came out with us to put Lauren’s hair up so she could have two looks. Jake’s suit was custom made.

Heather + Steve {engagements}

I was so excited to do Heather and Steve’s engagements. Heather is a huge Harry Potter fan, so I knew we would get along just fine 😀 I brought them a chocolate frog and some Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans to get some cool ring shots with and also to have fun eating 😀 They go to school in Logan, so we did the pictures up there. They even brought along his grandma’s couch to get pictures on. Steve lives with his grandma while he goes to school and a lot of important talks/moments on that couch. They also both love Kenny Chesney, so while we were doing pictures we put on some of his music on my phone and it was fun to jam out to some country ;D

Maddi + Jesse {wedding}

Maddi and Jesse had a gorgeous DIY Barn wedding in Springville. A lot of my clients end of being friends/family to me and this is one of those. Maddi’s mom made almost all of the decor. She said she has burlap busting out of her house now, so if anyone needs some, let her know! She did such an amazing job!! I loved all the antiques in the barn and really loved all of the emotion throughout the day. Maddi was one of the happiest brides I’ve ever seen. I bet her cheeks hurt from smiling so much-I loved it! Seriously all of the details in this wedding were just amazing. Maddi’s mom put a lot of love into this for sure!!

Maddi {bridals}

Maddi wanted pictures with a country feel to them, so we did some at an old time saloon, natural sagebrush, mountains, and even found a tractor. We took a few at Kelley Creek Farms as well. We had her mom, sister, aunt and cousin there. It was really fun getting to know everyone better. Her make up and hair were done by Kristen Packard and she looked gorgeous!! My favorite ones were in the sagebrush-that wasn’t planned-there was a strip of it on the side of the road and the light was gorgeous, so we stopped. I love side of the road locations!!

Amanda + Ben {formals}

Amanda and Ben wanted to do a preshoot at the temple a couple weeks before their wedding and they were sure glad they did. It was so busy and we just loved that we just needed to get family shots and a couple of them and be done. It made for a stress free temple day for sure. We also did a first look at the capital and Ben was SOOO excited to see Amanda. He just kept saying “You look SO GOOD!!!” You couldn’t wipe that smile off his face. I loved it.

Amanda + Ben {wedding}

I am super behind on posting on my blog all that I’ve been doing all month. Here was my first wedding from the month. Amanda and Ben wanted a Tiffany’s style wedding with lots of white, Tiffany blue, pearls and plenty of bling. It turned out gorgeous! They and their family made most of the decor and it was so pretty. We also did a pre-shoot at the temple which is THE BEST THING you can do if you are getting married in the temple. Better lighting in the evening, relaxed shoot, less people at the temple, less stress on your wedding day….I pretty much love them if you can tell! Amanda and Ben were so happy when they excited the Salt Lake Temple. Click on view full post to read and see more from this wedding!
