Big Springs, Provo Canyon UT | Pearson Family

The Pearson family was a lot of fun! Usually there's a person who doesn't want to be there, but I felt like everyone was having a good time (I hope!). They love pictures as much as I do! The parents were so cute with their kiddos and all the kids were so happy and cooperative. The grandparents were also super cute with their grandkids! I loved watching the interaction with them. Yay for family pictures! 

Payson, Utah Temple | Marrin & Ryan Wedding

I think Marrin is so awesome. I got the pleasure of knowing her at church in Young Womens. She always had a smile on her face, wore the cutest clothes, could rock blue highlights in her hair, and was super nice to me. I was pretty excited that she asked me to photograph her wedding. She had always told me stories of Ryan, but I never got to meet him. But he must be a pretty awesome guy too to get to marry Marrin.

On September 29th, they were sealed together in the Payson, Utah temple. Their sealing was at 5:30 so they could come out right at golden hour (a photographer's dream). Unfortunately a few things happened and they came out after the sun went down– but it was OK! It did not affect Ryan or Marrin's moods. They were excited to be married. After one group shot and a few wedding party shots, I finished taking their photos in the dark. It was fun to experiment with my flash and they were totally chill about it. Seriously I loved hanging out with them! I'm so happy that they are married!

Congrats Mr and Mrs Ricks!

Silver Lake, Big Cottonwood Canyon, UT | Emily & Natha Engagements

Emily and Natha are together AT LAST! They have had quite the journey of trying to get Natha's Visa so that he can come to the US and get married. They have had to postpone their wedding 3 times. But FINALLY, he got it and came last Friday. Wahoo!

Emily loved Silver Lake for her engagements, so we got to drive up the canyon and show Natha how beautiful Utah is! Then, come to find out, Silver Lake has snow. It was his first time seeing this much snow and his first time being in this cold. He said that he was just so cold that his smile was frozen on. haha. Emily and Natha are so SWEET together. I barely even told them what to do and how to pose because they kept doing the cutest things. I think they are super excited to get married next week!!
