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!

Liz + Mike {wedding}

Liz and Mike met in their single’s ward. Liz really wanted Mike to ask her out, and when he finally did, they have been inseparable since! Liz also hates winter, so of course on their wedding day, it snowed ALL day long! Liz was such a trooper though, even when her shoes started to bleed (she had got the dyeable shoes and they were an amazing green-but just not mixed with rain!) The night before they had their reception at Eaglewood Golf Course and it stopped snowing right when it started-it was super windy, but no snow. The sunset was amazing. Their family and friends were so much fun to photograph and the kids were hilarious. Thank you Liz and Mike for allowing me to be a part of your special (snowy) day!

Katie {senior pictures}

I was so excited to do Katie’s senior pictures. I have know her since she was 13 and she has always been such a beautiful girl. It was raining the WHOLE time we did these (it got bad toward the end)-and the wind was pretty bad too-luckily, it does look good in some shots to have it look like we have a fan machine 😀 Thanks to her mom and friend Brooke for braving the cold with us!
