Nick & Tracey's Wedding

I recently Shot Nick and Tracey's wedding at The Canterbury Place and it was AMAZING!
I couldn't believe how much planning and work that they put into all of the decorations and details for the wedding!  They even had individual place cards hanging for all of the guests that Tracey hand-beaded.
I showed up a little early to get all of the details and of Nick and Tracey getting ready before the ceremony.  The set-up here is amazing!  There is a huge Bride's room for the girls, and a separate Groom's room for the guys fully equipped with a big screen TV and Xbox!
The ceremony was in the garden area and was beautiful.  I loved all of the bright colored balls for decoration.  After the ceremony we did some fun family pictures and pictures with the bridal party, and then headed into the dining room for dinner and dancing.  Tracey's cake was amazing (I'll have to find out who made it).  And they had a "Guitar Hero" grooms cake!  And to top off all of the decorations, they had about a dozen mounted 8x12 pictures of them that I took at her bridals / groomals scattered around.  That reminds me, I should blog some of their groomals :)
Check out the slideshow of their wedding day!

Anthony & Kelli - Utah Wedding Photography

The wedding that I shot last Friday was so much fun! We started out at the Draper Temple on probably the most clear blue skies I have seen in a while. Yes it was hot, but we didn't care. After the temple I we stopped at the studio to pick up Stacey for a little help and then we were off again to shoot around town. I had a couple of places in mind that I thought would be fun to shoot in Salt Lake. From there we headed over to Tucano's for a wedding dinner. I was out by 5pm which was a first in a long time. Check out the show below.

Keith & Mari - Utah Wedding Photography

This was such a fun wedding! It all took place down south at the Springville Museum of Art. This was the first time I had been down there to shoot and it was incredible. I seriously think that the more people find out about this place the more I will be shooting down there. The grounds were amazing. Of course I had an absolute blast shooting this wedding. The entire family and bridal party were awesome to hang with as you can see in the opening part of the video, they were fun too!

Marty & Sarah's Fashion Groomal Shoot

I had this groomal shoot scheduled last month when the weather was being CRAZY and freak thunder storms were popping up out of no where.  Marty and Sarah wanted a more grungy, fashion style to their shoot and I think we got exactly what we were looking for despite some major change of plans...

When we headed out to the first stop near some railroad tracks,  the wind kicked up and it got really dark even though it was still around 6:00.   These dark clouds started to roll up behind us and even though I had to shoot QUICK, we got some AMAZING shots!  Within just a couple minutes we had to scoop up the dress and run for the car as the rain came in.

And when it rained, it POURED.  And it got dark like it was already night time.  So we cruised downtown to hide in a parking garage to shoot a bit and see if the rain would blow over.  After shooting in the parking garage for a bit, the rain stopped and this HUGE rainbow came out!!

Trevor & Trisha's Engagement slideshow

When Trevor and Trisha showed up for their engagement shoot, they were PREPARED. Almost TOO prepared!
They had a huge pile of clothes to change into, different shoes, shirts, pants, everything! And a big ol’ list of shots that I’ve done that they’ve seen on my blog and liked and wanted! Now, I like it when my clients keep up with what I shoot and actually check out my blog, but WOW! They wanted their photography to be a bit grungy, urban, downtown, mixed with fashion and a little fun!  So ya, I went WAY overboard and shot a billion pictures. But we ended up with TONS of sweet stuff! Check it out!

Hmmm.....

Here is something we are working on for future projects.  Take a look!

Joey & Jessica - Wedding Slideshow

A little while back I flew to Denver Colorado to shoot a wedding for Joey and Jessica and it was awesome! First off, if you're staying in Denver, stay at the Curtis Hotel downtown. Every floor has a different theme ranging from horror movies to Speed Racer! And if you're traveling alone and need someone to play the Wii in the lobby or a board game they'll get an employee to play with you!

The day was packed from beginning to end with photos, food, more photos, more food, more photos, and ended with more food!

We started off with some getting ready and detail shots at the Lionsgate Event Center.   The girls did their hair and the guys played poker :)  What a sweet set up this place has!

The ceremony was outside at the Dove House. Beautiful place! After the ceremony we did quick family and bride and groom shots before heading into the luncheon where they had their first dances and cut the cake. After the luncheon we headed over to their parents home for a VERY traditional ceremony in full traditional dress. It was so neat to see how different cultures celebrate weddings! Part of the ceremony was with the patriarchs and matriarchs throwing nuts (or a dried fruit?) into a blanket and however many Joey and Jessica caught symbolized how many children they’re going to have. All I can say is they’re going to need a BIG house! 

Their families were SO NICE and made sure to keep everyone super well fed!

After all the ceremonies were over, all the friends headed out on the town for a final celebration.
