admin — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:28:49 +0000

Kate and Brandon. Great people. Their family and friends? Great as well. Some of the nicest people I have had the chance to hang out with. These people know how to celebrate and have a good time. Here are just a few from their big day at Red Butte Gardens in Salt Lake City, Utah. More to come later.

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!

Had a great time with Jamie and Alex on their wedding day. I have not finished processing all of their pictures yet but I hear that Alex is stalking my blog daily, waiting for pictures. This is for you Alex. Just a few for now. More to come.

Jamie’s Bridal Session – Joseph Smith Building, Salt Lake City, Utah

admin — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 22:46:11 +0000

I love the Joseph Smith Building. It is so elegant and beautiful. I met Jamie and her mother this morning and spent a few hours with them. It was cold outside so we had decided to do this session indoors. We did end up going out for a few shots after the sun had come out to warm things up a little. I love shooting bridal and engagement sessions because it lets us create a bond before the wedding day. Jamie will be getting hitched in just a few short weeks at the Salt Lake City, LDS Temple and I am so excited to be her wedding photographer. I love my job!

Julie + Daniel – Tracy Aviary Wedding – Salt Lake City, Utah

admin — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 19:06:55 +0000

Time goes by so fast and the things that get put aside are the personal projects like blogging. Had a great year in 2010! It was by far my busiest year yet. I had so many good times and met so many wonderful people. I realized the other day how significant my lack of blogging was. There are many weddings and sessions that I did not find time to blog. This is one of them. A few teasers were posted but never the entire wedding. I loved this wedding! It was at the Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake City, Utah. Not many people think of the Tracy Aviary as a wedding venue but it was perfect. It was really hot though. Missing that right now even though I was hating it then. Julie, Daniel, their family and friends were great and welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful time. I love being a wedding photographer!

On to the pictures. As always, there are a lot.

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.

Julie + Daniel – Wedding Album Design

admin — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 05:38:40 +0000

Julie sent me a list of her favorite pictures from her wedding for the album. I think there were only around 300! It was definitely hard to narrow it down. Let me know what you think of the finished product. I will be ordering a new sample album of this one.

Been a while

Been busy editing lately and not too much time to post. Also been training to run the Ragnar Relay in Las Vegas. Very excited for that. Anyway, thought I would throw up this shot from a wedding I am editing right now. Liked this one. More to come, lots more.
