Tara - Utah Bridal Photographer

Tara is beautiful. One of my favorite things about her is how kind, sensitive, and what an absolute sweetheart she is. She is constantly putting others before herself, and I just think she is such a beautiful person, on the inside and out!

Tara is one of those people that you absolutely want to be friends with - the kind of person who would drop everything just to make it to your side whenever there may be a crisis. I haven't known her for very long, but I have had SUCH a great time when I have spent time with her!

We chose to shoot Tara's bridals on Center Street in Provo - a GORGEOUS place if anyone is ever interested in taking pictures there. Tara got whistled at, honked at, and even wished a "good luck" by one such man - whom I think may have been homeless. She was as gracious and beautiful as ever - Larry is a VERY lucky man!

Harmony also came along, who is Larry's sister-in-law, and soon to be Tara's as well! She was a HUGE help, and we had such a blast going from place to place along Center Street, shooting Tara's bridals!

Congratulations, Tara! You are such a gorgeous bride, with an unbelievably gorgeous dress! I can't wait for your wedding day!

Amanda & Tyler - Utah Groomal Photographer

I have known Amanda since I was 14-years-old. She has always been a beautiful girl, and it has been so much fun getting to be her photographer as her special day comes closer. What people often don’t know is that being a photographer is a very intimate thing. While I take pictures of different couples, I come to understand the kind of relationship that they have, and I really love who Amanda and Tyler are together. When I take their photographs, I can see that they have a relationship built on trust, respect, and absolute adoration. I so admire that!

Amanda and Tyler met while they were living in the same apartment complex. I found out when we were doing their engagements that Amanda was actually dating one of Tyler’s roommates when she met him! Of course, I am sure the roommate is now fine with it, because anyone who has spent at least five minutes with these two knows that they were made for each other.

One of my favorite things about shooting their groomals was to see how much they adore each other – everything from the way that Amanda laughs at Tyler’s jokes, to the way that his adoring eyes meet hers.

And get this – they both play soccer!

Special thanks once again to this family I have come to love - the Ellis family! Thank you so much for coming along and making Amanda and Tyler feel even more comfortable as I get to capture their incredible moments!

Suany & Steven - Sneak Peek! - Utah Engagement Photographer

One of my favorite things to do when I am first meeting and then photo shooting a couple is to find out more about them. I’ve got to say though, rarely have I met a couple more crazy about each other than Suany and Steven.

When I first met Suany and Steven, the first thought that went through my mind was, "Holy cow, what a cute couple!" I was impressed right away. They seem to "fit" - their session was so natural and so fun! Steven kept Suany laughing the whole time, and kept me and Chris (my boyfriend who came along to assist) also laughing the whole time!

I also found out that these two had lived just down the street from each other most of their lives, without even realizing it! How crazy is that?

As I hope that you will see below, these two were made for each other. Suany's smile says it all - these two are so in love!
