Draper Utah Wedding : Amity + Reuben

The day turned out to be just about perfect.  As perfect as you could ask it to be in the middle of December in Utah.  Earlier in the week had brought lots of snow, but this day was blue skies and sunny!  Yes it was still extremely cold and very windy, but it was also beautiful, just like the couple who promised themselves to each other on that wonderful, sunshiny, December day.

Reuben and Amity met in a religion class about a year ago and although they did not date right away, it did not take long for them to realize that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.  They were married in the lovely LDS Draper Temple, surrounded by their closest friends and family.  Once they came outside they were the only two who did not seem to be bothered by the cold.  Their love for each other kept them warm and happy.  It was wonderful to spend time with these two and witness their love first hand.  Thank you Reuben and Amity for allowing me to document your first day as husband and wife.  You two were definitely made for each other!

Amity wore a beautiful winter cape with a furry hood.  She looked like a snow princess, which I think is probably every girls dream!  Am I right?!!

You could easily see that these two loved every minute they were together.

Amity braved the cold to get some pictures without the cape, to show off her beautiful dress.  It fit her perfectly.

I love the details in the lace and the buttons running down her back.  So elegant! 

Amity, you are gorgeous!  I know Reuben agrees, because he said so many times during this part of the shoot :)  

Reuben you are looking rather dashing yourself.

It's no wonder Reuben loves to gaze into Amity's eyes.  They are beyond beautiful!

Did I mention the wind?  It was so windy but Amity rocked the wind blown look!

This was the moment after Reuben dipped Amity for a kiss and then asked me if he could do it again.  Of course Reuben, you dip your wife all you want!

The winter cape in all it's furry hooded glory!

See what I mean about her rocking the wind?  Can I say B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L?

I sincerely thank you Amity and Reuben for allowing me to be apart of your special day.  For allowing me to document these wonderful first moments as husband and wife.  You two are perfect! 

The Lindsays

It was a crisp, cold, yet beautiful morning!  This sweet family made it even more wonderful and didn't even complain about the cold.  There were lots of smiles, laughter, and only a few tears involved!  Kids are always so much fun to photograph because each of their cute little personalities are so different.  I enjoyed every moment with this great family!  I love the rustic/country feel of this shoot.  We started off at the old Sinclair building in Elberta and then ended the shoot at some old unused train tracks.  Thank you Lindsays for asking me to photograph your beautiful family.  You are wonderful!

The Johnstons

I just love this family!  I have been lucky enough to be able to get to know Sydni over the past couple of years, but I had not met her entire family until now.  Let me tell you, they are wonderful!  Not only are they some of the most beautiful people ever, but they are also one of the most easy going, down to earth family.  The day was perfect, the colors up Santaquin canyon were beyond wonderful and even the dogs were cooperative.  All in all, it was exactly how a photo shoot should be. Thank you Sydni and Garrad for letting me photograph your beautiful family.  It was a joy and an honor!

Baby Brooks

I was lucky enough to photograph this little bundle of perfection a few weeks ago.  He is seriously the perfect amount of chunkiness and has the cutest little baby lips.  He was wide awake for the first part of this shoot, which was fun because we were able to get some with his adorable eyes open.  Eventually the newborn sleepiness kicked in and he was out and completely posable.  I always enjoy photographing newborns and Brooks was no exception.  Thank you to his sweet Mama and Dad for asking me to document him during his first couple weeks of life!  Congratulations on your perfect little guy!
