Jamie + Alex – Salt Lake City LDS Temple Wedding and Album

admin — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 21:52:10 +0000

Things have been so crazy over the last few months. Sorry for not being more on top of this blog. Sometimes it goes to the back burner as other things have to come first. Family and work are the first priority. After that, I have put my running closer to the front as my wife and I have several big races planned this year. We are running the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay in just under two weeks. Then we will be running the Top of Utah Half Marathon, St. George marathon and then the Las Vegas Ragnar Relay. My wife and I put in for the St. George Marathon thinking we wouldn’t get in. We were not that lucky. We are now committed or maybe we should be committed?

Jamie and Alex were so great to work with. They are so laid back. It really made this wedding so much fun. The weather was looking questionable but turned out perfect. They were married in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple on March 11th, 2011 and they had their reception at the Eaglewood Event Center that evening. It was great being involved in the entire process. I got to shoot their engagement pictures, bridal pictures, wedding dinner, and their entire wedding day.

Never in all my years as a wedding photographer have I ever seen anything like this before. After cutting the cake, Jamie and Alex went to feed each other and Alex must have been a lot hungrier than anyone might have thought. He decided not to wait until Jamie had taken her fingers out of the way of his teeth before completely biting down. Please reference the pictures below for a great laugh!

I also had the privilege to work with one of my favorite wedding videographers again. Kale Fitch of Kale Fitch Productions. He is so creative and likeable. He really makes things fun. Please check out his video of the wedding here. I let him borrow my 45mm tilt shift lens for a few shots. It looks really cool with video. He also did their engagement video which you can see here.

The album turned out wonderful. They had so many pictures that they loved, we decided to do 20 album spreads instead of the standard 10. I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Here are a few of my favorites that didn’t make the album and then the album spreads. Bon Appetite!

Erin + Joe – Engagement Session – Kaysville, Utah

admin — Sun, 01 May 2011 21:59:08 +0000

I met with Erin and Joe a few weeks back to shoot their engagement session. Two very photogenic people for sure. Joe is a linebacker for the United Football League and played college football for the University of Kansas. Can you guess how Erin and Joe met? Of course Erin was a cheerleader. These two are so in love and are really down to earth. I had such a great time. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year. I am sure it will be tons of fun. The first thing my wife said when she saw these pictures was “he has HUGE arms”. I said “yeah they are bigger then Erin’s”. BTW, I am pretty jealous of Joe’s beard.

Chelsey + Seth – Downtown Ogden Engagement Session

admin — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 22:04:34 +0000

I met Chelsey and Seth at the Ogden Union Station Saturday morning. It had snowed a lot over night. I always go into situations like that hoping that we can make it work. I think we did okay. They were freezing the whole time and Seth spent most of the morning carrying Chelsey on his back so that her frozen feet would not get more wet than they did. He was a trooper and so was she. It was fun getting to know them. Chelsey likes to ride horses and Seth likes to play football and run. It looked to me like they were a perfect match and completely in love. I was honored to be their photographer. On to the pictures.

Jamie + Alex – Engagement Session – Salt Lake City

admin — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:25:07 +0000

I hope all of you had a great Christmas/Holiday. This was one of my favorites. Our kids are at such fun ages. New Years Eve is in just a few days. I believe we will be staying home in our warm house since it is going to be really cold. It was cold this morning at 8am when I met Jamie and Alex to shoot their engagement session in Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. We started at the capital, inside where it was warm. That is an amazing building. Incredible architecture. Once outside, it was colder than I had thought it would be. Jamie and Alex were troopers. Although, they did complain a little

Have a safe and happy New Years Eve!

Laurie + Jeff – Little Cottonwood Canyon Engagement Session

admin — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 22:22:45 +0000

Laurie and Jeff are from Spokane Washington. They are planning on moving here after their wedding next March. We went up Little Cottonwood Canyon for their engagement session. It was early, cold and wet. We had a blast. It was fun getting to know them and their story. Jeff is really good on the guitar. Laurie is too, and she is learning to play the mandolin. I got to hear them both play a little. I love that canyon.

Enjoy the pictures.

Had a great time with Dillon and Courtnie in downtown Ogden. We met at the train station and hung out for a while. The lighting was great. I love sunset light.

Sorry for the delay in posting. I have just gone through a major ordeal. I switched hosting and it was quite a process. This change is going to make my life a lot easier. Hope you like the new look of the blog? Here is a quick shot to get you through until this weekend when I will start trying to catch up blogging some recent sessions.

Brett + Heather Engagement Session | Salt Lake City, Utah

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 22:06:50 +0000

Here we are again. It has been a crazy year so far. I don’t think I have had a chance to breath since the new year started. It has been a great year so far though. Many great things happening and a lot of accomplishments. I am trying hard to stick to my two resolutions this year. They are very broad but that is working for me. How are you doing with your resolutions?

The bridal show back in January was a big success. I owe a big thanks to Brett and Dustin for helping me out. I couldn’t have done it without them. I got a lot of bookings and met a lot of fun people. I think this is going to be a big year for Legend Photography!

On to more important subjects, I went out with Brett and Heather last Saturday to shoot their engagement session. We started in downtown SLC at 8am for the first hour. It was really cold! My fingers went completely numb. It was worth it though, we found some cool new locations and got some great results. the light was perfect. After the first hour we went up in the hills above downtown. Once again, another awesome new location. It was warmer, although you can’t really tell by the goose bumps on Heathers arms. I can’t believe they both decided to finish the session in t-shirts. crazy-ness! What you see below is not for the faint of heart. There is kissing! Hope you enjoy.
