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!

Dani + Mike | Salem Pond Engagements

Dani and Mike have been dating since they were teenagers. I loved how comfortable they were together. So easy to pose, and so fun to work with. I absolutely loved this shoot! Once I heard that Mike had a boat, and that he and Dani loved to go out in it and fish, the wheels in my head started turning. It was such a fun collaboration to pull this shoot together (with a big THANK YOU going out to Mike’s parents and sister for helping transport the boat and make this work). I’m really looking forward to photographing their wedding!

We started the shoot up Hobble Creek Canyon, and then headed to Salem Pond for the boat shots.

10 points to anyone who can find the hummingbird. How awesome is that? It just flew right in just as we were shooting.

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!

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 ever. I guess they didn’t mind that though, right? For Christy and Matt’s engagement session we headed to BYU. It’s been a while since I’ve roamed around campus as a student, so I it was fun to be back.

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.

Marie + Ian: Engagements | Springville Engagement Photographer

When Marie and I first met for a consultation, we ended up talking. And talking. Like we were old friends. I love when I can connect like that with my clients. Meeting Ian was no different. These two were awesome to photograph, and though we were racing against the sun, I really love how these turned out.

Love the sun on these
