921-0683.jpg Here it is, Part II of this amazing wedding!  After the wedding ceremony in the Ballroom, all of the guests were invited out to the patio to enjoy delicious drinks and yummy h’orderves with the bride and groom.

Stein Eriksen Lodge Wedding Ceremony | Anne + Jonathan

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

921-0277.jpg Welcome to the first ever Wedding Wednesday!  After the success of Album Monday and noticing how many more people there were checking in to see the Monday article, I figured it was time that I made a commitment to post a wedding every Wednesday!  So, cheers, welcome, and here’s the story:

Anne & Jonathan were married a few weeks ago up at the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City.  This has to have been one of the most perfect weddings of the entire year.  Even with a bit of rain that forced their meticulously planned wedding ceremony from the outdoors to the indoors, nothing could dampen their spirits!

Engagements | Anne + Jonathan in Park City

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Hodgson_0020.jpgI was putting together the post for Anne and Jonathan’s wedding for tomorrow morning and realized that you guys haven’t yet had the chance to meet them!

Here are a few of my favorites from the engagement session we did about 8 months ago, it was a freezing day and I had already been out shooting and wearing the wrong shoes I had stepped into a puddle!

Album Monday | Kacey + Jake’s Guest Book

Monday, September 21st, 2009

926S-07.jpg Man, I am just exhausted!  I just got back in town from shooting an incredible wedding in New York with a fabulous bride and groom, and while it was a long day shooting and long flights there and back, it was absolutely worth it!  But that’s not the subject of today’s post, it’s Album Monday, and we have another installment for you!

This is Kacey & Jake’s Guest Sign-in Book, I was so happy they went with a fun cover, it reflects their personality in that this Green is so bright, so saturated in color you’d have to describe its personality as vivacious, and also unusual!

Monday, September 14th, 2009

812A-IMG_7235.jpg Welcome back to Album Monday!  Sorry i took last week off from posting, with Labor Day on Album Monday and 3 weddings in 6 days, it was pretty hectic, and besides I knew you all would forgive me if I made the posts super awesome, so here we go!

This is an album I have been SO excited to show everyone since the moment it was ordered!  I feel a tiny bit guilty right now, because I had a different album I was going to show you today, and literally UPS just dropped it off, and the bride hasn’t seen it yet!!!  But then again, Jess you live in London and it’s gonna take over a week to get to you anyway, so now you get to see it faster!!!  :D

Provo Wedding Reception | Emily + Taylor

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

918-1131.jpgSorry everyone, this is going to be a ridiculously long blog post.  I’ve been going over the pictures again and again from Em & Tay’s wedding reception trying to cut it down to soemthign that is respectable for a photographer’s blog post, and I am having a really difficult time of it.  There are just too many that I love!

The reception was held at Taylor’s parents home in Indian Hills.  If you’re not familiar with that area of town, it’s a beautiful area nestled in the foothills with a spectacular view of the valley and the mountains literally on top of you.

Salt Lake Temple Wedding | Emily + Taylor

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

918-0508B.jpgI have been so excited to show you pictures from Emily + Taylor’s bridal session ever since we took them, and now that the wedding day has just passed, I can post them!  But you’re in for a treat, you get to see images from the Wedding Day too!

It was just perfect weather, Emily and Taylor were married at the LDS Salt Lake Temple, and when they exited that had about a hundred people waiting outside to congratulate them!  [For those reading my blog who are unfamiliar with LDS weddings and wondering why I haven't posted any pictures of the ceremony, no pictures of any kind are allowed inside of a Temple, so instead we photograph the exit and celebrations afterward].

Although it was a warm summer day, a few hazy clouds rolled in to cool things off a bit while we finished taking pictures…

McCune Mansion | Emily + Taylor | Bridal Session

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

918-0172.jpg Emily’s Bridal session was amazing!  We started pretty early, because we had a few shots I knew I wanted to do that were going to take some time to set up, but I think in the end it was well worth it!

We were also very lucky that her fiance Taylor agreed to come to the bridal session to get in on a bit of the photographic action!  It’s alsoways fun to have grooms along on Bridal Sessions, plus I think they get to feel more involved.  It is, after all, their day too!

When I think of Emily, the first word that comes to mind is: Perfection.  She is very conscience of what that word means and strives to achieve it!  When she arrived for the bridal session, I knew everything would be perfect, but i was still blown away.  Her hair was arranged in a simple and elegant bun worn lower, her makeup was immaculate, and the dress was to die for!  Love it, love it, love it!
