Ryanne & Braden

Ahh..what can I say about Ryanne and Braden? If you thought their bridal session totally rocked, you should have seen their wedding.


We started the day off at Mount Timpanogos Temple, right around noon on the hottest day of the year! It was a bright, hot day, but Braden and Ryanne took it with a great attitude.


We kind of love Braden and Ryanne...so many of these aren't even posed, they know just what to do in front of a camera with very little direction!








Aren't they darling together??



Moments like these just happen naturally with these two. They are so in love, they were unaware of anyone around them and just wrapped up in their day!



A lil' something to keep up with the vintage look Ryanne loves!




Their reception was beautiful! It was held at Wadley Farms, where Ryanne took the beautiful scenery and turned it into a spectacular reception! She has such an amazing eye for details and everything was set up perfectly!


There is an awesome red barn on the property. Since Ryanne's colors were red and black, we decided it was the perfect place for their formal shots!


Braden and 'the boys'



I couldn't resist catching a few more of Ryanne and Braden together!


The awesome cake


She had a fun candy refreshments bar (everything in red and black, of course!) As well as fresh fruit, chicken sandwiches and the most delicious brownies ever! (catered by BYU Catering - YUM!)



Ryanne's awesome red shoes


Beautiful ring! ( I think Braden even picked it out completely on his own! Go Braden!)



Braden just finished up school at UNLV, where he played baseball. (Go here to read a newspaper article about his baseball talents and his love for Ryanne!)

Cake clean up!

Melissa and Travis

Melissa and Travis tied the knot in an awesome park in Highland. It was a very relaxed day with beautiful weather and a beautiful wedding!





Melissa's nephew was the ring bearer. (You may recognize him from our earlier days) He was so cute, they had to tug him away from Melissa to go sit back in his seat.



Melissa and Travis are some of the most laid back people I have ever met! They are so fun and carefree, and didn't let anything ruin their perfect day.





Their theme was very beachy with bright, fun colors. I went a little crazy with the ring shots...shocker, I know...but here are a few of my faves!






Some fun details from the day:




And the [cheese]cake cutting!




In case you were wondering...cheesecake makes a much bigger mess than regular cake, and is harder to get off! I think Melissa had the right idea:


We had an awesome time with you guys, thanks for all the fun!


Stay tuned everyone...I have LOADS of incredible sessions to post this week! You won't be disappointed!

Ashley & Sean - Part I

Hang on tight! This was a marathon photoshoot. Engagement session, bridal session, and family session all in one. (Okay, not all in one. But all in the same day!)

Aubrey and I spent the day with Ashley and Sean, and Sean's three darling little girls. We all had a blast on our 3 in 1 photoshoot at Sundance. (Yes, film festival Sundance.)
We were a little nervous by the rainclouds that were threatening us on the way up there, but by the time we started shooting, the weather could not have been more perfect. All the photos taken outside were 100% natural light.



See what I mean? Totally gorgeous light. (These two aren't bad either.)

We actually started off the shoot inside one of the lodges. We had to take advantage of the awesome architecture.



I loooove this green wall.



Then back outside for some more yummy light portraits.
I am amazed by this photo. Ashley and Sean needed almost NO retouching at all! I changed this photo to black & white and that's about it. The total gorgeous-ness is all them.



Soooo, yeah. Do you think these two might have a little bit of a connection?



Just a little?



This is one seriously hot couple. Add a seriously hot location and dang, you've got an awesome photo.





We will so being shooting at Sundance again. Even if just for this building and its AWESOME window.





Oh yeah, we can't forget the rock!



Sean, you made a good choice. It's beautiful!



We finished up this phase of our photoshoot right as the last bit of sun was peeking around the mountain. The perfect light and this gorgeous pair made for my favorite shot of the day.



Stay tuned. Parts II and III are coming your way!

Alexis & Rob

Look carefully.
Does this girl look familiar? Well, she should!
Alexis was the model for our incredible Trash the Dress sessions last year.
Remember?

Now Alexis is going to be a real bride! Meet Rob, her other half.



These two are such a cute and unique couple. I'm sooo excited to be shooting their sure-to-be-amazing, anything-but-ordinary wedding next month.
Don't believe me? Check out the amazing location they chose for their engagement photos.
This adorable, little house belongs to Alexis' neighbors and they graciously agreed to let us take over their yard for a little while.



Check. Out. The. Garage. Door.



Who in the world has a garage door like that? Not me.
Isn't it amazing!



Now, we can't let the house take all the credit. Let's get back to our totally hot couple.



I <3 his smile in this one.



Awesome hammock in backyard? Check.



Totally gorgeous couple? Check.



Completely amazing photos? Check.



Seriously. These two make my job so easy. I hardly had to do anything!



The side of the house made a perfect backdrop for some intimate moments. I love the passion in these!



Totally and completely made for each other. It's incredible.





Alexis and Rob, you guys are so amazing! We're counting down the days to your amazing wedding!
