Brady and Rosie are one of those couples that is just cool. The type of cool that is casual and effortless. Rosie had a killer dress and bouquet, Brady made his own wedding ring (isn't that awesome??) and then you add in their amazing good looks - there is no question about it. They rock. Congrats, you guys.
I took a few pictures of my little brother's Homecoming group. Don't they all look so snazzy? Snazzy is probably not a cool word for that age group anymore. Although, come to think of it, that wasn't really a cool word back when I was a teenager either. Perhaps I've always been an old fuddie-duddie at heart.
Bryan and Stephanie were married in the Mt Timpanogos temple on a beautiful Saturday in August. I was so glad to have a good chunk of time to take them around the grounds for photographers, they were so fun to take pictures of. Lots of laughing! The flower girls grabbed Stephanie's train to carry all by themselves - then explained that "they make us do this every time" - guess that family has had a few weddings in the last few years! I got a good laugh out of that.
A beachy-themed wedding in Utah? Yes please! Kelsi and Paul got married in what was probably the most beautiful backyard I have ever seen. So green and lush, with a gorgeous waterfall and twisting paths leading throughout. It was truly magical. All of the little details - from her flowing dress to the frosting on the cake - added to the elegant yet carefree feel of this celebration.
While I was editing this wedding I was thinking about how much I just everything about it. Then this voice in my head (sounding strangely like my older brother did back in '95) said "If you love it so much then why don't you marry it?" and I began to think about how I could go about marrying a wedding. I found that hilariously funny. That's when I knew I needed to go to bed and stop editing late at night.
Congrats, Paul and Kelsi! You had such a beautiful wedding, I'm so glad I could be there!
While in New York last March I had the opportunity to go to Rodney Smith's home, meet him and listen to him speak. He was such a generous host, inviting us all into his home (and let us wander all over - his beautiful black and white prints hung throughout the house like the most amazing intimate gallery) and speaking openly about his career and how it developed. He is a photographer that truly inspires me, through both his work and his attitude toward it.
I took these photos outside his home, in black and white film-as a tribute to him, naturally. He had the most beautiful house and a stunning guest house as well.
Richard and Karen were married at the Mt Timpanogos temple on a beautiful day in August. They had their reception at Le Chateau in Provo - such a great venue! All Events Photobooths was there with a photo-booth to capture all of the guests middle-school-afternoon-at-the-mall style. I love photo-booths, they are an awesome way to document those who came to celebrate. And with Jonathan Marriott, their DJ, the place was rocking and everyone danced the night away.
Congratulations, Richard and Karen! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wedding!
