Like a Queen

I got to do one of my favorite things... photograph a beautiful lady, wearing a beautiful gown. This is my sister -in- law Jamie, I have watched her grow into the remarkable woman she is today, filled with grace and loveliness. The details on her dress are just stunning, and she wears it beautifully!
We ventured to the salt lake city library for this shoot, I'll be sharing more of these images soon.

Love is in the Air...

Stay with me, baby stay with me,

Tonight don't leave me alone.

She shows me everything she used to know,

Picture frames and country roads,

When the days were long and the world was small.

Oh, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,

 But with my eyes clenched all I see

Is the skyline, through the window,

The moon above you and the streets below.

Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.

Kiss Me Slowly

Parachute

My harbor has a boat in it,
The water makes its way around here,
And when the sun shines down the hills winds blow
I miss you more!

You said I’m young, but I’m yours,
I am free, but I am flawed.
I’m here in your heart,
I was here from the start.

Better Together

There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Mmm, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.

Jake & Christi - Salt Lake Wedding Photographer

Meet Jake & Christi, they were such a fun couple to photograph! They are a smart couple and broke up their events, having the wedding one day and the reception a week later. Christi is my assistant's sister, so I got to come shoot the temple portion since she was a part of the bridal party. I wish I could've come to everything, I'm sure their reception will be beautiful. Thanks for letting me come share your day, you were both so great despite the crazy heat. Yet, I am so glad we had the place to ourselves, this first shot took my breath away!

2nd Shooting Experience

I offered to come help my cousin Lindsey shoot a wedding and she graciously agreed. This couple had no experience with me, but I hope by the end of the evening I gained their confidence and friendship!

Meet Spencer & Natalie, a lovely couple with great taste in colors and style! : )

The sun opened up for these two; it was supposed to be cold and rainy, however, nothing but sunshine would do for their day!

Being a second shooter means not always getting the best angle; trying to think of creative ways to cover the action, and always being on guard for small moments around the main couple. Like this: Lindsey & Kale Fitch doing their thing! It also means that the day is complete bliss not being the one under pressure! haha 

This was the first time I had worked with Kale, he is pure genius! If you need a videographer for your wedding, hire him!

The reception was held at the beautiful Cactus & Tropical in Draper, such beautiful natural light and decor there.

Now I can't wait to get my film back, too!
