Blake and Maren :: MARRIED

Phew! So… my hard drive crashed a week ago. Yeah. Luckily I back up all of my clients’ files, so that wasn’t a problem, but I’ve been scrambling all week to catch up by re-editing basically a whole wedding that I was in the middle of editing. PSH. So that explain the absence of new posts a bit, but I’m glad to be back! And thanks to the hard drive crash, I’ve had a great excuse to redesign my watermark and logo. You’ll have to let me know what you think!

These two fantastic people got married back in December and it was so fun to work with them! I love that Maren opted to wear wool socks. It was a bitter cold day, too!

Kudos to Maren on this one. I would have flipped if my husband spontaneously dipped me out over the stairs! PAH!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the lilies mixed with the roses. Yum.

So sweet. 🙂

Ben and Meridith :: MARRIED!

So, this one time this lovely couple got married 10 days after I gave birth to my first child. As a precaution–just in case I had to have an emergency c-section or something–we took pictures on the temple grounds a couple weeks before I was due. Turns out I was doing great the day of the wedding, but it was a good thing we took pictures early because the day of the wedding looked like this:

And this:

(notice the horizontal snow? Yeah. Full on blizzard with freezing temperatures…)

So here they are! The shots from the nice sunny day! 🙂

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?

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.

Heh heh heh. This was an interesting shot to set up and take. Probably the fastest one ever. Cars don’t wait, you know!

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.

I absolutely adored the lilies. Yum.

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! 🙂
