Who needs a staged kiss?

David and Andrea were one of my favorite couples. They just seemed to be so in sync with each other. And they were so cute. So in a moment when we were getting the whole extended family together on the steps of the LDS Salt Lake City temple and they had been married for a whole 30 minutes or so, they were enjoying looking at each other while the group got in place. They talked and looked at each other, and naturally, they kissed. I love moments like this at weddings, that just happen and look good.

Senior Portraits in January

I was lucky enough to get to photograph a couple of high school seniors this month. Lucky because January is slow for portrait work and lucky becuase these kids were so much fun!

Wedding Details, Unexpected Moments

One of the things that you want to have in your collection of photographs from your wedding day, are the details of the special moments of that day. You want to find a photographer who pays attention to little details like this.

Here is a couple, sharing a moment together looking at their marriage certificate from the temple during their wedding luncheon.

Bridals on New Years Eve

You have got to love a woman who can brave the cold, and hike over rocks and sand bars in high heels to get the bridal images she wants. I have to admit, my fingers screamed when I grabbed the metal light stands! Ouch. I love doing sessions like this, even if my fingers complain. Find me a bride who wants something different, a bit unusual, and I will be happy. I love finding a way to make interesting images with people.
