Clarissa and Javier's wedding

My life wouldn't be complete without a blizzard wedding from time to time!  Luckily we got most of our outdoor shots in before the crazy weather took over this evening!  Congratulations Clarissa and Javier...your wedding was lovely, and I was so glad to be a part of your day!

Allie and Connor's wedding sneak peek

Allie and Connor got married in the Salt Lake Temple this morning...and they couldn't have asked for a prettier day!  Can't wait for this lovely couple's reception...coming up in just a few hours. As always, though, I can't resist posting at least one...

Ahhh...magic. :)

Let me call you sweetheart...Taylor and Lance's groomal sneak peek

Ever since I rode a refurbished 1800s era carousel at Prospect Park in Brooklyn this last summer, I have been dying to do a shoot on one.  Taylor and Lance were totally into the idea--yay!--and even though we had to drive quite the ways to get to our location and it was frigid today (not to mention the fact that we encountered a variety of side problems to keep it interesting--if you run into Taylor ask her about the pervert bug. hehehe)  it was perfection.  Enjoy this sneak peek of our great day!

Even though it was too cold to turn it on, I still have turn of the century carousel songs in my head... Bicycle built for two anyone? :)

Kierstyn's Maternity sneak peek

Kierstyn is one of my earliest brides and also happens to be one of my BFFs. And she's having a baby!!  At her maternity shoot today we probably spent 1.5 hrs shooting and 3.5 hrs chatting.  And maybe a half hour eating gourmet cupcakes as well...If you ask me, it was time well spent.

This girl is one hot mama.  :)

Thanks to all of you who voted.  In 1 week I saw my blog stats go up exponentially.  Thank you for your support of both me and all of my super-awesome 2010 couples.  I know I've said it before, but I will say it again:  I have the BEST clients out there.  You make my job so easy!

Because I am in a such a good mood, I will be giving 10% off any wedding package AND an additional $150 product credit to anyone who contacts me before the end of January about booking their 2011 wedding!  

I love you guys!

Paige's Bridal sneak peek

This afternoon we took Paige's bridals.  And they are breathtaking.  I had to resist posting like twenty of them!  You would never know that these were taken in the middle of January in Utah.  She was such a trooper, even though I probably sent her home with hypothermia, poor thing! 

And what a gorgeous smile!  This girl should be in movies.  

Allie and Connor's groomals

So it has been a couple of months since this session with Allie and Connor...but let's be honest, it was totally worth the wait. :) I am totally in love with Allie's dress (custom modified just for her...and so stunning) but I especially love her sparkly hairpiece and sparkly embellished shoes.  Like gorgeous rhinestone snowflakes.  And since she and her awesome fiance Connor are getting married in the winter (just a few weeks away!) it fits so perfectly!
So the next time I see you two, Allie and Connor, you will be gettin' married!

 Sigh...doesn't this just make you miss fall?
