Tyson & Brittani | Springville Engagement Photographer

Tyson is the brother of my good friend Nicolette. I’ve known their family for several years, and have shot both Nicolette’s and their other brother Ben’s weddings, so it’s fun to be part of their celebrations once again. I love how comfortable Tyson and Brittani are together! It made my job pretty easy.

Kristen & Nick | Springville Engagement Photographer

Loved working with these two! I especially loved watching how Nick could make Kristen laugh. They were good to put up with all my “creative” ideas, like, “let’s go in this random shop over here,” and “let’s try laying on this log right here.” Yep, I’m super creative guys. Just believe it.

Christy + Matt | Utah Engagement Photographer

Christy and Matt’s first date was on Halloween. They decided to go as arm chairs, but in the process of making them, Matt cut himself and ended up having to go to the ER for a tetanus shot. As they told me their story, they laughed about how it ended up being the LONGEST date...
