Evan and Lara's Pre-Wedding Shoot



















I don't think I can even describe how amazing this shoot was. We were a little worried we might get rained on as the clouds rolled in on Saturday, but right there in that magic hour before the sun set completely there were these gorgeous shafts of light breaking through the clouds and the sky took on these soft, subtle hues of violet, and orange, and pink...it was heavenly. Lara and Evan met on the beach, so they were right at home walking the sand of the Great Salt Lake nearby Saltair (which we didn't end up using because there was a Marilyn Manson concert going on. Though a bride in the middle of a sea of goths might have been a good shot...? ) :) And this just reinforces why I love having the groom come along. It takes the pressure off of the wedding day because you know you have some great shots of you both in your wedding clothes, and both of you get to relax in each other's company. It all becomes more natural, less posed, and full of chemistry and romance. Some people think it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding day...
...but all I can say is, how can an evening like this bring anything but good luck?

Pretty girl!










Here is baby Zoey! She was the best baby ever, she was so sleepy and curled right up for us, just like a little baby bean. We did have a lot of fun with the baby/daddy's hands pic, when she peed all over him after only having her diaper off for a minute. But I had warned him... :)

Mike and Stephani




















Mike and Stephani were my second wedding during that crazy weekend two weeks ago! I know I'm a bit behind on blogging, but their wedding was so full of special moments, from the beautiful ceremony to a toast that made my eyes tear up. It was just so awesome to hear a brand new couple tell each other--in front of the whole world--why they love each other so much and what they look forward to in their life together. It was beautiful!
