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.
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!
All week long the forcast for Hillori and Jared’s wedding said it would be a blizzard-even until the day before their wedding. Well I wore 4 pairs of leggings and 4 shirts, brought umbrellas and it was a GORGEOUS day! It wasn’t even that cold, even with snow on the ground from early that morning. So I guess from now on I’ll just plan on blizzards to get gorgeous weddings 😀 Hillori looked so pretty and everyone loved her dress. Her make-up and hair was done by the fabulous Hannah Goodrich.
I think I am loving these temple pre-shoots, especially when I get to do them with my friend David Perry of David Perry Films. 😀 We always have a great time-Travis even came to help out and came up with a cool shot of the couples rings floating in the reflection pool with the temple as the reflection. Very nice 😀 I really do love pre-shoots for temple weddings because their wedding days seem to get pretty full and this makes it so you don’t need as much time at the temple-so that means less stress on your wedding day, and who doesn’t want that? Another great thing about them is you get to shoot when the groom actually sees the bride for the first time-which doesn’t happen in the temple. I loved when Tony saw Brittnie-he couldn’t stop smiling and hugging her. It was so cute. Brittnie got a gorgeous bouquet from the Window Box and her dress was from Gateway Bridal.
Katie and BJ were SO happy coming out of the temple. I don’t think I’ve seen a bride smile so much. Katie & BJ’s family and friends are AMAZING and I had so much fun with them. It turned out to be a perfect weather day, well except that there were no clouds in the sky 😀 Katie’s favorite color is orange and she found the cutest bridesmaid dresses from Shabby Apple-I actually have had my eye on this particular dress and loved seeing it in person. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their dresses. She wanted a fall look to her wedding, so it worked perfect that orange is her favorite color. Katie and BJ are just one of the happiest, easy going people you will ever meet and I’m so glad I got to work with them and get to know them.
Katelin and Zach did a postcard theme for their wedding and invitations, so we continued with it for their thank you postcards.
