Ixchel - Bridals

Ixchel won our free shoot at the Thanksgiving Point wedding show in January. It worked out well for her since she is in Utah currently but getting married in Arizona. She has a photographer down there to cover the wedding but needed someone up her to shoot her bridals. She wanted a high-fashion look so that's what we went for. I found out quickly that she didn't need my help to strike the pose and go all vogue. I just let her do her thing.

Sarah & Kerry - Engagements

Sarah and Kerry wanted something different and artistic. I decided to do the entire shoot with an colored flash. I'd never done it before--but that's what I love about the challenge to "be artistic". Art is inherently risky. You have to try something new that may or may not work. If it's tried and proven that means everyone's already doing it. I wanted to get a really warm light but mix it with the bluish daylight and dusk lighting. I didn't end up using it the whole shoot but when I did I loved the results. Mostly it's pretty subtle but there are definitely a few where it's noticeable. Once we got Kerry out of his I'm-taking-a-picture smile you can see that even he had a good time. (Dude, I'm telling nobody.)
