Greetings from bordeaux, france!

Hello from France! I'm out here for 2 weeks shooting 2 gorgeous weddings and doing some travel in between! Beyond excited to be here. Shooting weddings in Europe has been a dream of mine for a long time. I'll be sharing images soon! In the meantime here's the first wedding venue. Not too shabby ;)

Bryan & Nathan

Having been together for 10 years already, Bryan & Nathan held a gorgeous wedding at the equally gorgeous Natural History Museum of Utah this last September to make it official! What a stunning backdrop for family & friends to come together and celebrate and affirm the relationship of these two fantastic guys. Gay weddings are definitely a new thing for Utah, but with marriage equality sweeping the nation at an incredible rate thanks to the hard work of many civil rights activists, and the recent Supreme Court rulings this summer, hopefully it will become more commonplace here in our incredible state! Mara Harwood of Events By LMG did the wedding planning & design (can I just say what a blast it is to work with Mara? Girl gets things *done*!). Shelly Huhn of Orchid Dynasty did the gorgeous flowers. Mara & Shelly are a dream team to work with.. super professional and will pull out all the stops for their clients. Catering by Culinary Crafts. (http://www.eventsbylmg.com/) (http://www.orchiddynasty.com/) (http://www.culinarycrafts.com/) (http://nhmu.utah.edu/)

crazy lake tahoe preview!

The most epic wedding ceremony I've ever shot! Haha. Dumping snow didn't turn this couple back from having their ceremony outside. So fun! No one will ever forget this ceremony!

Preview!

Shot a gorgeous wedding this last weekend at the La Caille restaurant in Sandy, Ut. Couldn't wait to post a little preview!

Hilary+doug, Pasadena Ca.

After seeing my work on the wedding blog Snippet & Ink, Hilary contacted me about shooting their *gorgeous* wedding at the Atheneum at the Caltech campus in Pasadena, California! Total blast. Hilary & Doug were super fun to work with and the Atheneum is really just a stunning venue for a wedding. ( http://www.snippetandink.com) ( https://www.athenaeumcaltech.com )

France-August 2014!

Hello all! I'm going to shoot a wedding in Bordeaux this August and would *love* to book some other weddings/shoots while I'm over there! Could you please spread the word if you hear of anyone getting married in France (or other parts of Europe) this August? It could be a win/win. Thank you so much!

Wedding/engagement favorites 2013!

My favorite time of year.. posting some of my favorite images from the year. And holy wow.. what an incredible year 2013 was for weddings & engagements! I feel like I seriously have the best clients ever.. such awesome/fun people! This year was just amazing.. Weddings in Lake Tahoe, the Florida Keys, Arizona, Southern California, Massachusetts and of course all over this gorgeous state of Utah. Also I was second shooter for Jenny Moloney ( http://jennymoloney.com ) at gorgeous weddings in Seattle & Massachusetts. So, picking photos was brutal.. I had over 1000 images at first and they're all my favorites! Ugh. But here is 125 or so. Thanks everyone for all the love & support of my work. I truly feel like I have the best job on earth, and I try to put that gratitude back into my work and kill it for my clients every time. Cheers!

Parting Shot! Last wedding of 2013

Such an *incredible* year!
