The Dangerfields

I had the wonderful opportunity to reconnect with some amazing family friends.  Growing up our families would get together and have so much fun.  Sometimes we would go horse riding, or swimming with lots of pizza afterwards, or just hang out playing games.  It was always a blast hanging out with the Dangerfields.  It has been several years since I last saw them, so when they were all in Salt Lake for their grandfather's funeral and asked me on short notice if I could take their family pictures, I was happy that I was available.  Each of them have changed so much, many are married now and have kids.  Thank you Dangerfields for having me take your family photos.  You are beautiful and just as fun as ever!

The Hoopers

I loved working with this sweet family!  There is so much personality in each and everyone of them, which made photographing them a blast!  We went up to the top of beautiful Santaquin canyon where there is a big open meadow and tons of aspen trees all around.  It made for the perfect location and provided plenty of opportunity for the kids to just be kids!  Thank you Hoopers for allowing me to capture your beautiful family at this fun stage of life!

Logan Utah Wedding : Mariah + Tyson

July 18th in Utah is almost guaranteed to be one of the hottest days of the year.  That is why when I arrived at the Logan LDS Temple I was surprised to find an overcast sky and a chill in the air.  However, sunshine was not needed that day because as Mariah and Tyson walk out of the temple hand in hand light radiated from them through their smiles, their eyes and their pure joy of being married.

Thank you Mariah and Tyson for letting me document your first moments as husband and wife.  It was wonderful getting to know you two better and being able to see your fun and easygoing personalities.  Your love for each other is real and I am honored that I was able to capture it in photos for everyone  to see.  

They were greeted by friends and family all anxious to see the new Mr. and Mrs. 

After the congratulations and family photos we were able to sneak away with just the bride and groom to take advantage of the beautiful grounds at the Logan Temple.

Lovin' the kicks!

The grounds were not the only beautiful thing that day.  Mariah and Tyson were glowing with love and joy.

Her eyes…need I say more?

Not everyone is lucky enough to be married in a castle.

Mariah's dress was stunning with all the subtle details on the bodice and especially the beaded detail around the waistline.

Could I have more perfect models?  I think not!

Their love is genuine and it shows.

The view looking out from the Temple was amazing, as was the long beautiful train on Mariah's dress.  But neither of those compared to the bride and groom themselves.  They were perfect. 

The Raneys

I love this family!  It is fun to see them grow and blossom.  These kids have so much energy which makes photographing them a blast!  You can find some of their other photo shoots here, here, here, and here.  Thank you Raneys for allowing me to take part in documenting your ever changing beautiful family!
