Waterson Wedding at Log Haven

You know how you kind of picture what kind of wedding you want? Well, Jamie and Cary pictured an elegant, intimate wedding of close family and friends, and they nailed it. It was perfect. The ceremony and reception were held at Log Haven up Milcreek Canyon, which immediately created the ambience. Jamie's dress was white and ivory with beautiful beadwork and detail. Cary was in a classic black suit and light green tie. The music they played was picked by the couple and showed their personalities and did a wonderful job adding to the 'mood'. Oh, and the flower girls and ring bearer...how cute are they? Again, it was perfect. Here are some favorites:

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:

Ron and Tiffaney get hitched

So, back in April, Ron and Tiffaney got married! The ceremony and reception was at Tuscany Gardens and it was truely a beautiful occasion. It was fun being involved in the whole process of the engagements, the bridals, and then, finally, the wedding. Here are some of my favs:

Jena and Brian: Engagements

Meet Jena and Brian. They are from my hometown of Centerville, so I immediately knew they would be super cool. And then I met them, and low and behold, they were totally super cool. Steve took them to Memory Grove to take their engagements a couple weekends ago and here are some of my favorites from the session. P.S. Doesn't Jena have the prettiest smile?

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.

Natalie & Dallas: wedding

Here are some photos of Natalie and Dallas' wedding. Steve had a blast taking their photos. Dallas and his friends were always ready for the camera with a new pose. The brides maids were all gorgeous and willing to do whatever necessary to get a good shot. The day went smoothly, starting out at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building for a luncheon and then to Aspen Landing for the ceremony and reception. Here are a few of my favorites:
