Meridith’s Bridals

So… I thought I was on a role and then the in-laws came for a week. Zero productivity, basically–they are just too much fun. But what is Christmas for, if not to relax and be with family!? But anyhoo… Here is a bridal session of one of my favorite people! We grew up together and it was so much fun to see her all decked out as a bride! 🙂

Check out those eyes! Yeah. They’re really that blue. And gorgeous.

Playing around with some blue… Any comments?

The *D* Family!

Here we go! I’m getting on a role with my blogging! Well, here’s to hoping, anyways! 🙂 This family was so much fun! They had so much personality!

I love when families indulge me and jump. 🙂

Love it!

The shot:

Sure! Let’s do a funny one… Only…

Sometimes it happens for reals. On purpose.

The ladyfolk…

These guys were a hoot and a holler…

Awwww… Gotta love the family that loves each other… 🙂

Sometimes It’s Just Real Life :: The R Family

I adore this family. Not only is that beautiful woman my sister, but the kids are just adorable! And Mike’s not too bad either. 😉 We met this day just before a huge storm hit, so the lighting was particularly unusual, but a lot of fun. Downside to pre-storm clouds, though, is the wind. But we made it work! I got a lot of what I like to call “Real Life” pictures, which often end up being my favorites! They’re the last couple in the series. Enjoy! 🙂

Oops. Looks like I stuck this RealLife one (below)  in early! I love love love it.

Here’s Gregory trying to get Isaac to smile…

This one makes me laugh every time. Love it.

Here are the RealLife shots! First up, a classic: Mom with the goldfish crackers, and the two-year-old off doing their own thing…

RealLife: Sometimes wind decides to be part of the family.

RealLife: Hauling away the obstinate two-year-old.

RealLife: Sometimes that same obstinate two-year-old can look so cute and innocent in the very moment he’s being hauled away by his frustrated mother. Love it, though.

Thank you, R Family for spending the afternoon with me!

Charles and Tatiana :: MARRIED

Yup. I’m a bit behind again on blogging! But I’ll get there! I had a blast spending the day with this fantastic couple. They were married just a couple weeks ago in the Mount Timpanogos Temple.

Ben and Meridith :: Engaged!

It’s always a blast when I get to shoot a friend’s pictures! Meridith and I have been best of friends since… 4th grade? So crazy! Now the girl’s getting married, and I couldn’t be more excited for her. Ben–you are one lucky guy. And from what I’ve heard–Meridith’s pretty darn lucky, too! 🙂

I fell in love with these doors the moment I saw them, and I love how all the colors turned out! 🙂 Yum.

Josh and Julie :: Married!

They’ve tied the knot! And what a gorgeous couple they make, too! And holy smokes–when I first put together the pictures I wanted to post, there were more than SIXTY. I usually try and keep my posts below 20 pictures, but I snuck 25 in here. 🙂 Is snuck even a word?

What’s funnier than a pregnant lady taking wedding pictures? A pregnant lady lying in the gutter taking wedding pictures. 🙂

While getting some “walking into the distance” shots, I called them back to do it one more time, and when they turned around they started struttin’ their stuff! Turns out those shots are my favorite from the walking series. Love it.

Josh and Julie realized that many things are harder than they look–particularly when there is a huge crowd watching you! For example: putting a ring on someone else’s finger, cutting wedding cake, and throwing a bouquet. These things are tricky, people! 🙂 Also–their cake smashing was epic. There’s only one shot of the smashing action in this quad (notice how they cleverly try and make the other think they’re going to be nice…), but I’m sure you can fill in the rest. Josh and Julie–look forward to some fun cake pictures!

Congratulations, again, Josh and Julie! I hope your first couple weeks of marriage have been deliriously wonderful! 🙂
