thanksgiving. point.

Liberty is getting married at Thanksgiving Point.  She loves the gardens there and wanted to do her bridal shoot there.  We looked for some beautiful places and then, of course, tried something totally different.  We also had Nick along for some fun.  Liberty has such an exotic look and her tiny waist was perfectly accented in her wonderful dress.  I can't wait for her wedding.  It's going to be great fun!

beautiful. LIFE.

Beautiful.

I am so excited about Karly's wedding!  No matter what they make sure that every wedding is a unique and 5 senses experience.  I've gotten to be the photographer at all of her other three sisters' weddings and I can't wait to see what Karly and Curtis's wedding day is going to be like. 

Karly is having her reception in a downtown abandoned warehouse that is in the middle of renovation...yes, that's right, it's in the middle of being renovated.  Matt, her designer for her wedding is a genius and is going to make the space incredible.  So...we thought it was an obvious choice to go to the warehouse.

Over the years I've become friends with Karly's family and they've been so fun to work with...they've been up for anything.  When I had the idea that we take Karly in her white wedding gown out to their dairy farm after a tiny hesitation we were off to see the cows.

The cornfield is the place that Karly's family has a very popular corn maze every fall...everything about this shoot was about things that meant something to Karly and her family.  We had a wonderful time and I'm so excited about how these images turned out.  Which ones are your favorites?

good. LIFE.

Personality.

Claire and her mom and sister were so much fun to have on this shoot!  We started off at the Grand America.  There are so many wonderful places to shoot and the bathroom was no exception.  It's just gorgeous at the Grand.  We also went to Claire's parents' home and that was just beautiful as well.  The locations were nothing compared to all the wonderful personality and fun that Claire was, though.  As you can see she can really work the camera.  I love all of her expressions and all of the enthusiasm and happiness she exudes.  I can't wait for her wedding!

fun. LIFE.

Beautiful.

Rebecca loves Italy, Italian Food, Europe in general, and European History.  She loves to laugh and at the same time is a pretty serious person who loves a great conversation.  We wanted to incorporate her love of Europe in to her shoot and also capture her many sides.  She suggested going to the Hotel Monaco and I knew that would have some really rich colors.  I also wanted to go to Fresco and The Paris to add to the European influence we were going for.  We had a wonderful time at all three places.  Just as we were leaving the Monaco some people were letting pink balloons float up into the sky for The Aids Foundation of Utah.  They had been Oooo-ing and Ahhh-ing over Rebecca and how absolutely gorgeous she looked.  They gave her some balloons and she let a bunch of them go sailing into the sky. 

I really love the rich colors of this shoot and Rebecca's gorgeous hair together!

Beautiful Bride.

We met at Memory Grove just to get started because Brady and Taisja love to go to meet each other for picnics at lunch time.  We had a great time there but didn't want to miss a lot of really wonderful opportunities.  At the Rio Grande we were planning to shoot inside the lobby but it was locked...thank goodness.  Because the light in the bathroom was gorgeous!  We laughed at how much fun the bathroom and the hallway were.  We knew our last stop was Ensign Peak but we didn't know it was going to be an arduous climb and we were all cursing Taisja's name for making us hike up it (even though she was the one in the wedding dress...lol).  BUT on the hike down we were praising her name for such a great idea and for being such a she-rah for hiking up there in a gown.  We couldn't stop saying how worth it the hike was. 
Way to have fun Taisja!  I'm so glad we all got to hang out together! (you girls were all awesome!) Thanks for a VERY fun time.  I loved all of the laughing....

 

FUN. LIFE.
