Katie and Eric Engagements

I did engagements for Katie and Eric last night in Ogden. Katie is the sister of my brother in law Jon. Katie and Eric have been together for 11 years. They both just got back from LDS missions a few months ago. These two knew each other so well and were so fun to be around. They are so excited to finally be getting married. I am so happy for them and so excited to shoot their wedding.

Jenessa and Gary Tie the Knot!!!!!

I shot Jenessa and Gary's wedding last friday at the Bountiful Temple and believe it or not there was still snow on the ground! But there were lots of beautiful flowers also so it felt like the Spring wedding they were wanting. I had so much fun shooting their pictures! Jenessa is the sweetest girl and they are such a beautiful couple. Jenessa's little sister was so emotional all day about the whole wedding. It was so sweet. There are so many of my favorites, I had a hard time picking, but here a few.

Misty and Jared's Wedding

Misty and Jared's wedding was on March 31 at the Tuscany Gardens in Roy. I always love shooting there because Debbie is so sweet and fun and the facitlity is just so gorgeous. Misty and Jared have been together for 9 years You could tell they were still so much in love. They also have a 9 year old daughter Madison. She was so sweet and so emotional after the ceremony. They were such a cute little family!!! Misty and Jared had such great and fun personalities. They were both so sweet and I loved working with their families. I have known Misty's aunt Lola for a few years and it was so great to see her and her daughters again. Not to mention all of the little kids there were so cute and such little models in front of the camera. I always love capturing the joy and excitement of the kids at weddings. They make it that much more fun. Thanks so much Misty and Jared!!!!
