Payson Utah Temple Wedding | Bethany & Nate

I love Bethany and Nate's story. I think I wrote about it in their engagement post, but to sum it up again, they worked together and always had a crush on one another, but no one made the move. After Nate's mission, they ran into each other one day at a WalMart. Nate asked her out and things worked out! They are the sweetest, nicest couple! 

January 16, 2016 was a very cold but a very beautiful day nonetheless. Their exit from the Payson temple was the best. They were smiling ear to ear. Friends and family gave them huge hugs and congratulated both of them. It was very happy to see how many friends and family were there to support them! We hurried and took pictures with the whole fam. We did a formal session earlier in the week at the temple, so I took a few more shots of them and then we were done! I made sure to get that shoe picture that Bethany wanted! I love her purple pumps!

Later that night, their reception was at the Harvest Park Event Center in Mapleton, Utah. It was beautiful! Bethany's family went all out decorating this place. They even made a backdrop for pictures (yay!). And they printed out a few of their engagements on humongous posters! It was so cool to see! We took family portraits and then the party started. They had SO MANY guests come. They are so popular! Bethany and Nate were so happy and smiling the whole time. After the couple hours of the line, they got to cut the cake! Bethany and Nate were very sweet to each other and did not smash the cake in each other's faces. After a bouquet toss and lots of goodbyes, Nathan and Bethany made their big exit out! While they were getting in the car, Bethany was so sweet and turned around to thank me and Elizabeth for photographing her wedding. SHE IS THE BEST. She is so thoughtful! Nate is a lucky man!

I'm so so happy for Nathan and Bethany!

Tibble Fork Reservoir Engagements | Rachel & Alex

My sister in law is good friends with Rachel and she told her that I do wedding photography. We got in touch and i could tell that we'd be a good fit. She booked me almost right then and there! I am SO excited to photograph their wedding in May. Rachel and her fiance live in Texas right now and will be married in Utah and hopefully will move here as well. Just last week they came to visit and to do some major wedding planning. So we booked their engagements too!

Rachel and Alex love the outdoors so they wanted a beautiful mountain landscape. Tibble Fork was a perfect fit. They were very surprised how much snow there was when we got there. I, knowing that there would be an amazing view if we'd hike a little up the mountain, put them to work. Rachel was in a dress with Ugg boots and Alex was in a nice suit with dressy shoes. Oh boy. Every other step we sunk in to our knees. Yikes! Rachel was so brave though and kept going. We got to the spot where it was just right and they stayed on the path and posed while I work my way around them. Pretty soon I was in the snow up to my waist! I was super nervous on the inside but told them to smile. haha. Hopefully I'd get out. It was well worth the shot.

We did a lot of hiking and trudging through snow. They were adventurous with me. I loved it! They are such a cute couple. They were cracking each other up one moment and kissing the next. It was adorable! 

Jonesie | 9 Months Old

Sweet Jonesie is only a month younger than my son, Lincoln. We miss being their neighbors in Elk Ridge, but still get together every so often for a play date. They still will be good friends! I love photographing her in her room. She is so cute!
