admin — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 23:23:33 +0000

Ring shot from today’s wedding at Oakridge Country Club. A recent wind storm caused 270 downed trees. Took this shot using one of them I love being a wedding photographer. I had so much fun today.

Kate + Brandon – Wedding Teaser – Red Butte Gardens

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.

Hello again Amanda and Jeremy!

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 21:40:34 +0000

I received an email from a past wedding photography client today that warmed my heart. I really liked working with Amanda and Jeremy. They have so much style. The email is below but I just wanted to point out how nice it is for them, after several years, they still have online access to their pictures and are able to order and re-order as they like.

Thank you both for making my day better

Good morning, Tyson! I don’t know if you remember Jeremy and I, but you photographed our wedding on April 25, 2009 at St. Joe’s Church in Ogden. We were wanting to view the pictures again as I want to order a few more, but I don’t know our password. Can you email it to me perhaps?

Also, I wanted to let you know that the “antique” photo you took of us (with Jeremy in the chair and myself standing next to him) always gets tons of compliments. We hung it in the entryway to our home in Las Vegas, and people always stop to admire it. It hangs next to the wedding photo of my great-great grandparents, and is exactly what we wanted. I can’t tell you how much that still means to myself and my family to have that portrait.

I hope your business is doing very well, and that you’re still enjoying being a (fantastic!) wedding photographer. I wish you all the best, and again, thank you for being there to capture our wedding.

Love,
Amanda

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.

Angela + Dustin – Big Cottonwood Canyon Wedding

admin — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 05:21:18 +0000

Spent some time on Friday (April Fools Day) with Angela, Dustin and their friends and family as they were married in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The weather was perfect. The location was great. Everything went right. It was a simple wedding, intimate and personal. I loved the rocks and the moss. Really added some color and texture. Good location choice Dustin.

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.
