Spencer + Aaron | Utah Engagement Photographer

admin — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 22:25:31 +0000

I can’t believe this girl is getting married! Mostly because I’ve known her since she was 13, and since I don’t feel like I’ve gotten any older, she shouldn’t have gotten older either, right? Honestly though, I’m so happy for Spencer and her fiance Aaron. I loved getting to know him during this shoot. Always fun to see couples interact together! For their shoot, Spencer knew she wanted them at the Salt Flats. We had planned for the shoot two weeks earlier, but the weather kept getting in the way. It cooperated at long last (mostly anways–it wasn’t snowing or raining, but it was still FREEZING!!), and I LOVE the images we were able to get.

Congrats you two!

Had so much fun with these two. Their story is similar to mine and Jake’s in that they met in Mexico. Nate had gone down there as part of a similar program that Jake and I did. The difference between our stories is that Jake and I were both from here and were part of the same program, while Ale was a local and Nate met her while there. Isn’t it awesome how fates align to bring people together? Sometimes in the most unique of ways…

Liz & David | Utah Engagement Photographer

Liz and David were the winners from my Bridal Fair drawing, and we were finally able to coordinate our schedules to make this shoot happen! I’m so glad they won, because I had such a great time working with them! We traveled up to Park City for this shoot. There’s something about Park City that I just love. Maybe it’s the crisp mountain air, or the quaint little main street, but I really love it there. If it wasn’t so far away, I’d be tempted to shoot there MUCH more often.

Liz and Cory met on a snowshoeing excursion, and continue to share their love of the outdoors. I loved working with and getting to know these two, and am looking forward to their wedding!

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.

This one’s for you, Nick!

Brittany + Bobby | Orchard Engagement Photographer

I met Brittany at the Bridal Fair and liked her instantly. We soon made the connection that her fiance Bobby was good friends with my little brother Aaron. The world is so small! Bobby is working out of town for the summer, but happened to come back for a weekend, prompting Brittany to check and see if we could do a quick engagement session while he was here. I’m so glad we did! Loved working with them, and love how the shots turned out.

We did a little OCF (off camera flash) on these shots. Love how they turned out.

Jana + Collin | Utah Engagement Photographer

This may be one of my most favorite engagement shoots I’ve ever done. As an English major, I’ve always had a love of books. And as a photographer, I love a good image. Put them together and I’m seriously in love. Jana and Collin came to me with the idea that they wanted to shoot in a bookstore. They managed to find Ken Sanders Rare Books in Salt Lake, and it was absolutely perfect!

Sarah + Kaden | Utah Engagement Photographer

Loved working with these two. They are both so much fun and sincere. I’m really looking forward to their wedding!

For this shoot we headed to the Salt Lake City Library and the Capitol Building. Thanks to Candace (high school intern from Highland High) for joining us and carrying our bags! I didn’t mean for you to be our pack mule, but you really were helpful.

Shauri & James | Springville Engagement Photographer

When Jake and I flew out to North Carolina to photograph Garrett and Anna’s wedding, we met James. He and Garrett’s sister Shauri were dating. Well, they’ve now changed their status from dating, to engaged! I’m so happy for Shauri. She deserves an amazing guy, and James is just that. One thing that I really loved during this session is when Shauri went to change her clothes, and James proceeded to tell me some of the things he loves about her. It was so sweet.
