Daniel + Kiersten | Salt Lake City Temple Wedding Photographer

Usually I struggle with "what to say" when I make posts on my blog. I've been so excited and known for sometime that I was going to have so much to show, share, and write about when it comes to Daniel and Kiersten's wedding. I've known Daniel the groom since he was in grade school and I worked for his family's Real Estate business during most of my early 20's . I was so excited to meet Kiersten once they got engaged for their engagement session last fall. She is a photography enthusiast and knew all about looking good for the camera, and lighting, and posing. Their wedding was in the LDS Temple in Salt Lake City there. I was so excited to shoot their wedding in the first place but getting the opportunity to photograph a couple at the Salt Lake City Temple was another goal of mine that I've had for a while. I love the chance I get to travel every now and again because of photography :) .


Kiersten's mom custom made all of Kiersten's gorgeous dress and stunning cape and it looked simply amazing. This image got more traffic/likes/comments on Facebook than ANY other image I think I have EVER posted before.











In Salt Lake City they had a reception following their wedding at The Old Meetinghouse , it was a gorgeous venue:






The next weekend we were back here in Arizona for an open house so that all the Arizona friends and family could celebrate with the beautiful new couple:




Kiersten LOVES her some Coca-Cola








I wanted show this next image a couple reasons. One is that it shows the awesome scrapbook style guest book that they laid out for the reception. Daniel's mom has an awesome online scrapbook store called "HappynScrappin" If you're into scrapbooking you should check out her store.
The other reason is that it shows a print I had made for Daniel and Kiersten from their engagements session. I told them that if they could get 75 people to like my Facebook page that I'd make them a print to fill that frame...and they came through.


Thank you guys so much for choosing me to be the one that documented your wedding and celebration!

The fall is always a fun time because I get alot of phone calls from friends to do their "Christmas Card Pictures" . I like the chance to meet new people and in this case catch up with old friends. Here are the Tarwaters and a few of my favorites from the session:

Caleb + Julie - Engaged | Gilbert Arizona Engagement Portraits

I was so pleased to meet Julie and Caleb. I had never met them until the day of their engagement session. I'm so glad we got to spend some time together becoming friends and making some incredible images at Freestone Park in Gilbert. I'm so excited for their wedding next month.

Terryl and Erin | Gilbert Arizona Engagement Portraits

Terryl and Erin are getting married next month and we wanted to go make some image for them to use for the engagement, and announcements. We waited for a couple of months to catch a break in 110`F heat here in valley of the sun. Unfortunately that day never came and so we all went out and braved the heat. We went and checked out a new spot near a corn and alfalfa field and made some backlit magic around sunset. I hope so much that they enjoy these images as much as I do:
