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!

Amanda + Pete {engagements}

Amanda and Pete told me they didn’t like getting their pictures taken. But they were so natural and fun together that you would think they loved it! They met at Westminster College at the Olwell dorm and so they wanted to have some of their pictures taken on campus. It got pretty cold towards the end, but the wind made for some nice pictures. I love the hat that Amanda brought-she really pulls off the vintage style well.

Jerica + Denton {engagements}

Jerica and Denton are so easy going and love nature. It was a gorgeous, cloudy day today (my favorite) and this couple is so natural together, it was so much fun to shoot. Jera’s mom came along and it was a lot of fun to get to know them all better. I shot at a location I’ve never done pictures at, but was waiting for the right couple and a cloudy day and it all worked out perfectly! We also revisited some of my ghetto spots and when we pulled up people started to scatter. I tell ya, I think I know where the drug deals are going down!! Good times 😀 After I got to go eat at one of my favorite places, La Ferrovia, because I could swear I was smelling their bread while we were shooting!

Leslie + Dano {engagements}

Leslie & Dano met their freshman year at BYU. Dano then served a mission in Liberia. They started dating again when he got home and now they are getting married! They were really fun to talk to and I can tell they are both very mature and know what they want in their life. They will be moving around a lot in the future for Dano’s job, so I hope I get some cool postcards in the future! They decided to do their engagements in Provo since that is where they met. We were able to find some color in Provo, even though spring refuses to come this year!
