Sunbrook Country Club - St. George - John + Maree, Part 2

I know how often I say that I work with awesome people, but I really do!...and I can certainly prove it when it comes to John and Maree. When we first met to talk about the photos they dreamt about, we all thought that we could combine forces and create some great images. We all had some inspiration and some innovative ideas to add to the collective pot, and we were proven right. Their engagement session on the Salt Flats has been a portfolio piece I adore, and Maree's bridal session at the Union Station in Ogden was some of my best work, and both shoots make up some of my favorite memories as a photographer. Add in a fantastic wedding day in Manti with a follow up reception in Riverton, and how could we go wrong? With such wonderful photos and so much time spent together we all grew to like each other and trust each other implicitly.

The final reception for these amazing kids was at a fantastic golf club in St. George, Utah. The course looked out at the red rocks in the background, and as the sun started to set it was too beautiful for me to pass up. I knew that I only had about ten minutes tops to capture the light, but I was able to run inside, pull John and Maree out of their receiving line, and take some of the most amazing photos in my portfolio. I trusted that they knew it was important. They trusted that I was going to give them something awesome in return for those ten minutes away from their guests, and they followed me out onto the green without hesitation. Through our entire relationship, in the choices we made, I think we've been proven right at every turn...but I'll leave it to you to decide.

Young Love...Fashionably Late -- Janna + Dave, Manti Temple

Janna and I have been friends for a very long time. She was one of my best friends in high school and we have stayed good friends through many, many good times and a few bad. She is one of my favorite people on the planet.
Dave and Janna met at Snow College in 1994 and actually dated clear back then! They both went their separate ways only to have everything come full-circle 15 years later. They are live in the Washington DC area and having the time of their lives.
I was honored and privileged to shoot their wedding. I loved everything we did and just had an amazing time. Janna has an incredible family and we had a great time. I was also excited to be able to shoot the reception with the incomparable Andrea Hanks. Congratulations, Janna and Dave!

Janna's Vintage Train Station Bridals - Union Station, Ogden

Janna and Dave are getting married in Manti, Utah on Saturday.
Their engagements captured the various sides of their personalities with a glam portion in down town Salt Lake and a more natural side up Little Cottonwood Canyon. Wonder which side Janna chose for her bridal session? Vintage Glam all the way, baby! Janna brought some fantastic classic portraits of Hollywood starlets as a reference point of the looks that she hoped to achieve, and I'm happy to say that not only did she channel Lucy and Grace in certain angles, but I was able to capture some Janna-out-of-the-50's herself...which I like even better than when she mimicked the stars. Thanks for the trip through time!
