Lindsea and Brandon had their reception in the gorgeous Sunlit Room at the Historic Ben Lomond Suites in Ogden. She had teal, cream & gold throughout with accents of peacock feathers and lots of candles to create a beautiful atmosphere. Her mom actually did all the flower arrangements and decor and it looked great! I loved the picture of her grandparents by her cake of them by their cake and she even used their cake topper for hers. They did amazing at creating a vintage modern wedding, just like she wanted it!
You could only tell it was a cold day by looking at the red ears & noses on some of the people 😀 Other than that, the grass was green, there were even some leaves still on trees! I can’t believe it is almost Christmas and looks like late fall! Lindsea and Brandon were my first couple to get married in the Ogden Temple. It was fun to have a new spot-but I must say, it is a little busy with cars and people (which isn’t a bad thing!). It was fun to meet more of Lindsea’s family (she is my best friends niece) and I even found out that I used to be in Brandon’s ward when I was first married! Small world!
I just really adore this couple! So it was like maybe 10 degrees outside and not one of them was complaining about how cold it was. They were troopers and we got some great shots on this very cold Black Friday. The great thing about getting married on the day after Thanksgiving is that there isn’t a lot of people at the temple, since everyone was out shopping. One tip I have for my winter brides is to wear leggings and boots under your dress-you can get the shoe shots at the bridals, or slip them on for a few shots that day-but you don’t have to freeze! {Well at least your legs :D}. Katy’s took my advice and got some super cute boots and a white coat for in between shots & even for some shots. Thanks also to their parents who braved the cold with us and carried coats and my reflector!
What does a 1967 Corvette Stingray, 2 horses, beautiful fall scenery, and a gorgeous couple have in common? Well it’s this groomal session! Katy’s grandpa brought his amazing Corvette up for the shoot and her mom brought Katy’s two horses. It was my first time shooting with horses and I have to say, they are harder than dogs for sure!! They kept wanting to eat all the grasses instead of pose for pictures for some reason! Luckily we got some good ones. Katy & Todd are so much fun to work with and I just can’t believe how lucky I am sometimes getting such great clients!
