Jena's Bridals

For Jena's Bridals we ventured out to Antelope Island. I have never had so many bug bites - ever! It was a gorgeous day for bridals. There was a perfect sun set, perfect bride, perfect dress... everything was perfect. Except for the bugs. While Jena's mom and I swatted away what we could, Jena remained excited and positive and kept on smiling. And despite the bugs, I actually had a great time. The photos Steve took turned out amazing. Here are some favorites:

Tiffaney's Bridals

Have you ever met someone whose personality is bigger than they are? Well, if you haven't, here's Tiffaney. She is this cute, petite girl with a personality and sense of humor that instantly wins you over. If she was physically as big as her personality, she would be able to take on Newman from Seinfeld. She's hilarious and game for anything - a total trooper. The sun was out during the session, but man, oh man, was it chilly. But she kept on smiling and cracking jokes and we all had a lot of fun. Below are some of my favorite photos. The first few were over exposed, but I love how they turned out. I think they're romantic (*sigh*).

These first three photos are almost the same, but I love the different mood each photo captures. There's the first one thats happy, the second one thats shy, and the third thats a demure 'come hither'.

After a few shots, Steve noticed the camera wasn't set how he wanted it to be (hence the over-exposedness...whatever 'over-exposedness' is). But he liked what he accidentally did, so he corrected the exposure a little and got the same affect, but with softer light.

These next shots are 'classic' bridals. And look at her dress. I love the pink accents and beadwork.

This was taken after Tiffaney cracked herself up... I think its a great shot at her true smile.

These next two were taken off the side of the road. As I was driving to the marina from Saltair, Steve yelled for me to pull over.... They are my favorites. If you look at the bottom of the second one you can kind of tell its on the side of the road.

Tiffany's Bridals

So, I usually go with Steve when he has a photography session because I like the fun and excitement...especially with anything that has to do with a wedding. Last weekend Steve had an appointment with Tiffany - a gorgeous brunette with a big smile. I was sooo excited to go. And then I found out on Friday I had to work on Saturday. And you know what I had to do at work? Learn about the different forms and filings pertaining to taxes. Yawn. I was so bummed that I couldn't go with Steve to meet with Tiffany!

Anyway, as soon as I got home I made Steve show me all the pictures and I love all of them! And to make matters more depressing for me, is the fact that Tiffany was willing to do anything. Serious! Steve had her walking around down town, sitting at a trax stop, hiking around Memorial Grove... she is so cool to do that. Its a blast when brides are that willing to let the photographer 'do their thing'. I wish I could've been there. Do you know how much fun I would have had?

Alright, enough of me whinning... Here are some of my favorites of Tiffany. And if you can't tell, I'm a sucker for black & white.

Bride & Groom Gala

So...we're coming into the beginning of fall, which means a new wedding season. Being in the state of Utah that also means a whole new slew of wedding shows. When Steve & I were planning our wedding I went to a few of them and I gotta say the Bride & Groom Gala at the South Towne Expo center was my favorite. I got great ideas and contact from vendors at every show I went to, but the Gala was a little more relaxed and the space it was held in was bigger, so it didn't feel so cramped and rushed along.

Bridals & Daisys

A few days ago we were able to take Jamies bridals. It was so much fun! Jamie was great and easy to photograph. We spent a few hours and took a lot of photos. These are some of my favorites...
