New Pricing

As some of you may have noticed, I have increased my wedding package prices. If you are a new bride who has been looking at my work and are interested in booking, I will honor my old prices if you call me before December 15.

So behind on blogging....Yikes!!

I am so sorry to all of my bride's and everyone checking my blog to find nothing new. I am so far behind on blogging (we are talking back to the first of October), so I am going to post a few pictures from the sessions I have done, in no particular order, and try really hard to get back on top. Enjoy...

Heather and Ryan are a referral from one of my greatest past couple's Heather and Jay. We did Heather and Ryan's engagements at Antelope Island just a few weeks ago, on probably the coldest day in history. But we survived and I love how the pictures turned out. By the way, does anyone else find this weird? I just booked my 7th Heather for the year. I think it is crazy...

Courtney and Dan's wedding was at the first of November. I loved working with these two. Their wedding was a blast and they were up for anything. I am totally in love with Courtney's ability to make a serious face at any time. It was awesome.

I shot Lauren and Nolo's Wedding at the first of October. These two were so great to work with and we had a lot of fun. Have I ever mentioned that I have the best clients!?!

Christina and Daron were married at the end of October. Daron had been serving in Afghanistan (I hope I spelled that right) and he got home 3 weeks before the wedding. These two were so cute and so in love. It was just so wonderful to be around them and be part of thier incredible day.

Heather and Rex were married at the first of October at the Chantilly Mansion in Layton. I really truely enjoyed every minute I spent with these two. Heather is the sweetest girl ever. She was so nervous before the wedding. It was so cute.

Vanessa and Mario were married at the first of November at the Tuscany Gardens in Roy. I feel truely blessed to have been a part of this wedding. For one thing, I love shooting at the Tuscany Gardens. The staff there is awesome and it is a beautiful building. Also, Vanessa and Mario's families are so close and it was a very emotional day. I even got teary eyed on several occasions. Their families have so much love for each other and it was very apparent. Vanessa and Mario were so fun and willing to work with my ideas. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!

Thank you to all of my bride's, groom's and families. I really do have the best clients and I have been so blessed with such wonderful experiences.

Big Changes!

I have changed my company name to Amanda Abel Photography and have some more big changes coming to my business. I will be increasing my prices at the end of November so if anyone is interested in booking at my current prices, your wedding must be booked by November 30. Let me know what you think of my new logo and name. My friend Anne owns a graphic design business and will be getting into wedding invitations as well. She does an amazing job! If anyone is interested in a new logo or promotional material design, shoot me an email and I will get you her information. amanda@simplybeautifulphoto.com

Holly and Chad's Engagements

I shot Holly and Chad's engagements at Antelope Island last night. They were such a blast! I loved being around these two. They are so much fun! They met on a blind date in August, were engaged in September and are getting married in January. Despite the short amount of time they have been together, they are so in love! And so funny. When they weren't kissing, they were laughing and cracking jokes. Thanks Holly and Chad for such a great time and I am looking so forward to your wedding! There are a ton of pictures so, Enjoy...

This one makes me laugh so hard. Holly and Chad were such good sports putting up with me while we were waiting for the sunset.
