Payson UT Temple | KelsiJo & Scott Formals

Ok I know I always talk about the snow and how beautiful it is, but this session in the snow was magic. It did not stop snowing the whole time! It was so gorgeous! 

KelsiJo wanted to do some up the canyon first, but unfortunately, the snow was knee deep and we didn't come prepared with a shovel or anything. She was a good sport and we did the whole session at the Payson temple. I made Scott stand out in the middle of the snowy field with an umbrella as Me and KelsiJo's friend, Kimber helped her get situated. She came prepared with shower curtains to put underneath her dress. Then we took away their umbrellas, Scott turned around and saw his beautiful bride. I always love this moment!

We did a few more pics in the field and then went over to the temple. KelsiJo's dress was pretty wet by the time we were done with everything, but she was a good sport. They were both great sports with it being freezing! Also, don't you love her bouquet? Oh my heck, the succulents and orangey/pink flowers (help me out, florists) were amazing!

Their wedding is next week! Yay!

Provo City Center Temple | Bekah & Eric Formals

I was nervous for this shoot because of the weather! But Bekah and Eric were awesome and still wanted to go up Provo canyon! It was snowing all day long, but the roads were clear all the way up past Sundance until the parking lot. The snow was super deep, but luckily some snowshoers and snowmobilers packed it down so we wouldn't sink down.

I got to talk to Eric for a few minutes while we waited for Bekah to arrive. I loved hearing their dating story. They had met in a Singles Ward but both were waiting for missionaries to get home, so they didn't date. They teased each other that one would get married before the other because their missionaries got home a day apart. They also teased each other that if things didn't work out with the missionaries, they should get married. Well the missionaries got home and things didn't work out with them, so Eric and Bekah started dating! Now here they are about to get married! 

The formals session was awesome. There was a group of girls getting their pictures done at the same spot, so Eric and Bekah had a little audience when they did their first look. It was so funny to hear the girls squealing and saying awwwww. It was pretty dang cute. Eric was so excited to see her! Bekah's dress was pretty dang beautiful! I kept them in the same spot and just switched up poses so they didn't have a chance of sinking in the snow. Oh but I did. Every other step I was up to my thighs. What a workout! After awhile, it started to lightly snow for a bit. It was magical! 

After the canyon, we did a few shots at the Provo City temple until the sun set. It was so pretty!

I'm excited for their wedding Saturday!

Payson, Utah Temple | Marta & Jacob Wedding

Marta and Jacob are the greatest! The cold weather did not affect them at all on their wedding day. In fact, Marta loved taking pictures in the snow. They were so cute and excited to be married! 

The weather was crazy during their reception, but they still had a ton of family and friends that came to celebrate with them! The Manor at the Riverwoods was beautiful and they did a great job decorating it. We took a few more family pictures, then Marta and Jacob visited with their guests for awhile. I went around and took pics of the details, the food and the guests. Everyone was so nice and posed for the pictures. 

After a little bit, it was time for the cake cutting! Marta got Jacob good! It was great. Then it was time for Jacob to dance with his mama. She is so cute and so photogenic. They had a lot of sweet moments! Then Marta danced with her dad. Everyone was cheering for them and they had the biggest smiles on their faces. Her dad gave her to Jacob for their first husband and wife dance! They did a couple of dances! They did a little merengue for everyone. They did so good! 

Next all the dancing broke out! These guys know how to party! It was a blast to watch everyone. They had great energy! I wanted to get out and dance! After a little bit of dancing, Marta threw her bouquet. Her cute little cousin caught it and was thrilled. They all got ready for the sparkler send off and everyone said goodbye as they ran off!

It was a fun, fun wedding! Congratulations Mr and Mrs Johnson!
