These two exude the youth, happiness, and pure joy that is spring. So, how could we pass up the opportunity to shoot their engagements at the annual Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. It was a picture perfect location and the slightly overcast day gave us fantastic lighting.

Wide open spaces, reflective water, blue skies, and sunsets. How can you not love the Salt Flats??? Such a beautiful and unique location! Being a California girl, I love the water and I miss the beach ALLLL the time. The Bonneville Salt Flats give me touch of a beach feel but it’s more unique and you get to walk on water! Victoria and McKay were such a fun loving couple and we had a blast shooting their engagements.
Time to post a personal project. When I bought my wedding dress, I knew it would look AMAZING with an old Hollywood style. That wasn’t exactly what I wanted for the wedding day but but I still wanted an excuse to get all done up. So Emma Ribeira did my hair. Down with pin curls and a broach used as a hair accessory. She did fantastic! The hair, the gown, the red lipstick; I felt perfect in the Dita Vonteese – esq roll! Went to Studio 020 in Draper so we could do it in studio. I hadn’t been in studio with the lights and everything since I graduated college in 2010. It was so fun to dust off these old skills I hadn’t used in so long. I had a blast and I felt so pretty! I also was planning to go to a gala a few days later, so I took a few in that dress at the end of my session. I typically specialize in weddings and natural light, but do break out the speed lights for receptions and an occasional with a sunset or something for dramatic effect. But if anyone wants something like this for their formals, I would love to stretch my wings again! Give me a call!

I did Rachelle’s sister’s wedding years ago. I am always so happy when I get to do several siblings weddings because I know, without a doubt, that they loved my work! Plus, I just loved this family! Rachel and Jordan were so adorable. Fun loving and a little goofy. We had so much fun out in the snow on this warm winter day. And Tibble Fork is always a beautiful location.
Guys, go the the Ice Castles in Midway, Utah! Gorgeous! I remember driving up Provo Canyon to this winter shoot the morning after I got home from the Caribbean, feeling freezing but so so excited for this collaboration! I hoped for a soft overcast day, but the sun came pouring in the entire shoot and I am so pleased that the ice acted as a large soft box. I cannot emphasize how wonderful all these vendors were to work with. List of vendors below…
