Tara + Ben {engagements}

Where do I start?! So Tara Lemon is just about the cutest thing ever. {Must be in the name! ;D} I told her we had to incorporate lemons in her session-since she is no longer going to be Tara Lemon anymore. So we added a little lemons, and a lot of laughter and even a tragic-turned happy story at the end. Tara & Ben are one of the easiest couples I’ve ever had to photograph. I just have to put them where I want them and magic happens. They both love to kiss, cuddle and look at each other, so it makes my job super easy. So the tragic/happy story was I got home after the shoot and went to load the pictures and the first memory card I used was gone. I freaked out {then prayed!}, got in my car and drove to our last location. I put on my brights and with a flashlight walked the road. About 2 minutes later I found it on the road!!!! Oh happy day!!! So glad we didn’t have to reshoot because I love these too much 😀

Niki + Daniel {engagements}

Niki and Daniel are seriously so stinking cute! I asked Niki what they like to do together and she made me a great list. They love to take walks together, go on picnics and drink sparkling cider out of large glasses,have bubble blowing contests, throw a football around, read fortune cookies, go out to eat together, eat sweets, but more than anything, just be together. We tried to incorporate as many as we could in their shoot. Daniel was so nice to let us shoot all evening-but I’m sure he didn’t mind too much because he got to be with Niki 😀 They are such an amazing couple and I am so excited to be with them on their wedding day.

Nicole + Brendan {engagements}

Nicole and Brendon have the record for booking me in advance-over 18 months to be exact. For Utah, that’s early!! They have been waiting a long time for these and they came prepared with things to showcase them as a couple. They brought their cute little Husky mix puppy-she was so cute! They brought their bows and Brendan’s sweet motorcycle. They braved the soggy mud that used to be hard salt sand (we for sure will get some flooding this year!) and were so happy and fun. Thanks guys for the fun night-and thanks to Brendon’s dad for coming out and helping!

Aubri + Taylor {engagements}

I did Aubri’s brother’s (Trevor & Melissa) wedding last year. It is always so wonderful to get repeat clients! Aubri and Taylor met at Utah State last August just two weeks after Taylor got off his mission from Chile. This couple was so much fun and we were laughing the whole time. Taylor is quite the joker, which I love. Aubri said that ever since she was a little girl she always wanted her picture taken under a willow tree. Luckily the willow trees have started to get leaves, so we found 2 really big ones and got some fun pictures.

Shaylee + Jake {engagements}

Shaylee went to a wedding I did in 2007 and took my business card. She has kept it on her mirror since and said she always wanted me to be the photographer at her wedding. I don’t think I have ever been so flattered before! Plus, small world, she is marrying one of my friend’s brother. Shaylee and Jake also were destined for each other. They actually were neighbors when they were little (their parents were friends), and then Jake became friends with Shaylee’s brother when they were older. Shaylee said he was the only friend her brother would let her date 😀 Shaylee said that they went to a concert and fell in love two years ago, but didn’t start dating seriously until last year. Now after a lifetime together (even while not knowing it) they are getting married! During this shoot it rained on us for the first 20 minutes, but luckily cleared up and left us with amazing clouds and light. I wish every shoot had the light/clouds that theirs did at the end-oh heavenly light!
