Courtney & Josh Bridals, Big Cottonwood Canyon
Utah mountains. I. love. you.
My brother and newest sister-in-law flew me out to Utah for their winter wonderland bridals and I could have died of happiness right on the spot, right there in the middle of the mountains. I’ll always be a mountain girl at heart and so I’m sure you can imagine my happiness when my brother told me their mountain snow globe vision for these bridals.
The first look was so tender. I didn’t expect anything less. Courtney was a winter goddess and Josh was so sharp. Tears were flowing from all parties involved. Ugh. I get butterflies just thinking back on this shoot. I really could have posted all of the images from their gallery but I was able to narrow it down to my absolute faves. Enjoy…
Chelsie & Wilson Wedding Day, La Jardin
Chelsie and Wilson’s summer wedding was so dreamy. A cozy, intimate ceremony held in the gardens followed by a reception in the greenhouse surrounded by amazing floral smells and delicious food - complete with a triple chocolate fountain bar. The details from the cake down to the bouquet tied in perfectly to the garden atmosphere. The bridal party was a blast and the dancing was so sweet! Nothing beat the beaming smiles and glows from Chelsie and Wilson, though. Here are my favorite highlights from this day! Enjoy!
Nikki & Justin Wedding at Durango, Colorado
This intimate wedding ceremony was held nestled in a tall wooded forest of mountainous Durango, Colorado and it was breathtaking. Every single detail down to the custom designed lace on Nikki’s J. Noelle Design’s wedding dress was perfect. The ceremony was perfect, the groom had tears while his bride came down the aisle, the flower girl and ringbearer were as cute as could be, and the vows were sweet as could be. After the ceremony was the most gorgeous reception complete with a donut bar, and any wedding reception with a donut bar is an automatic win in my book! I’ve been gushing over the details, color palettes, dreamy light, and over course, Nikki and Justin, the most perfect couple in the whole entire world. Now it’s your turn!
Chelsie & Wilson Formals, Alpine
We adventured on the picturesque mountainsides of Alpine and found soooo many gorgeous spots. We even managed to find a few poppies! The lighting was dramatic and Chelsie and Wilson looked absolutely perfect. I loved Chelsie’s spring themed floral crown and the lace detail on her dress was insane. I had way too many favorite from this one…enjoy!
Ashley & Logan Bridals, Big Cottonwood Canyon
The contrast of Ashley's soft blush pink wedding dress against the rocky mountain scenery was too die for. Incredible. Together Logan and Ashley looked like they were king and queen of the mountain. They traveled from Texas for their wedding and wanted a location that was very "Utah-esque", and I think this was the perfect spot. Jaw-dropping views from every angle and multi colored rocks and trees made it feel like we were in a few different locations all at once. The way that these two looked at each other the whole time made my heart flutter. Such a sweet, sweet session. Be on the lookout for their beautiful wedding day!
Hannah & Brandon Wedding Day, Salt Lake Temple
This wedding was one that I was much looking forward to attending. I just knew it was going to be a dream. It started as a gorgeous sunny day at the Salt Lake Temple, where much to my surprise, we didn't have to wait in line to shoot at the coveted temple steps. Hannah and Brandon were just beaming the entire time. Bridal party photos were such a blast and they were very open to everything I set them up to do. A beautiful luncheon followed the ceremony at the Lion House in Salt Lake. It was elegant and romantic. Even the decor matched their wedding colors! It was so sweet to hear Hannah and Brandon talk about each other. The reception was held at the groom's parent's house in Pleasant View. Side note: I want to live there. The city is charming and lives up to it's name with jaw dropping views of the valley. The reception was also jaw dropping. Every nook and cranny was full of intricate vintage details. They were thoughtfully placed and brought so much interest. Not to mention the amazing light up LOVE sign by the pool - one of my favorite details! But my favorite detail of all was Hannah and Brandon and how perfect they were together. Sweetness just emanates from them. Congratulations you two! May you have the best life together and forever!
Maddi & Hayden Wedding Day, Provo City Center Temple
Maddi and Hayden's wedding day was such a gorgeous summer day. Not a cloud in the sky and beautiful, happy people everywhere. Maddi and Hayden were so excited to finally be married! I loved their romantic yet playful wedding colors and their wedding party looked so fabulous together. The Provo City Center temple was busy and beautiful and full of so much love. I have lots of memories at The Chillon and loved shooting their reception there! All the details were stunning and elegant. Hayden surprised Maddi by singing her a song and the room was so full of love I could barely keep myself together. The first dances were perfect, bouquet toss, cake cutting and getaway were all perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day and so thrilled for these two. Enjoy some highlights from their special day!
