How to feel great
The conversation went like this as she walked in the door:
Gretel: You look great.
Lady: Oh, and I feel great. (big laugh)
I love that and knew this one would be lots of fun. I was right. Now I feel great.

LaCaille Bridal Show
Last Saturday, Amy and I exhibited at the LaCaille Bridal Show. It was the first of such things for us and we had a really great time. Big, big thanks to the Flower Basket for providing such gorgeous flower arrangements for us. And thanks to everyone that came by to say hello. We had such a pleasure meeting everyone and hearing all about your wedding plans and we’d love to be a part of making it a perfect day for you.
Instead of jamming our booth space with lots of different images, we picked one image and made it big to garner attention. We also ordered some fortune cookies (another one of Amy’s great ideas) with our own custom fortunes and handed those out to interested brides. What a great way to spend a Saturday.
What smart people do
You should, just as a matter of course, read Stephanie’s blog on a regular basis. But today, oh today is a special day.
Here’s a picture of Stephanie. And while I can’t read minds, I like to think that in this picture, she’s thinking of ways to make her blog even better.
I love my job
Tonight I ran into a friend I haven’t seen in a long while. He’s a photographer. He told me that he hasn’t photographed any weddings in a year or two and he recently realized how relieved he felt about that. I’m so happy for him that he is now photographing only the kinds of jobs he wants, and I wanted to tell him I feel so privileged to be able to be a wedding photographer.
Like earlier today, when I took Lindsay a 13×19 print that I made her of the bridal pictures we did a couple days ago. It was a gorgeous print on Velvet Fine Art paper. I really wish you could see it. She was so excited, told me how much she loved the print an the rest of the pictures we made the other day and said, “Can I give you a hug”? That’s the sort of reaction I love, and it’s the reason I do what I do. She said, “when my mom sees this, she is going to cry.”
I’ve said it before, but really want to say it again, I love my job.
Here’s something else great that happened today. I recently ordered two, very large canvas prints. They are square and sized 38 inches. These big prints are really quite stunning and if you’d like to see them, it’s easy. They are now hanging in The Flower Basket in Provo. Go check them out and let me know what you think. I think they’re fantastic.
Lindsay’s bridal portraits
I was able to photograph Lindsay for her bridal portrait at the McCune Mansion in Salt Lake a couple days ago. She wore the most gorgeous dress you’ve ever seen from Alta Moda and to really juice things up, Cynthia from Enizio was the incredible talent behind the make-up and hair. Since Lindsay doesn’t want Whitney to see the dress until the wedding, I’m not going to post much, here. However, she did say I could post a close up. So here’s a teaser. You’ll see more after their wedding. Lindsay, you are so charming.
Salt Lake Wedding – Janet and Stephen
Janet and Steven got married at the Hidden Valley Country Club. I arrived early and we got in golf carts and drove to some secluded places and took pictures of the two of them before the guests arrived. I loved driving the golf carts. We even saw a deer. I took that as a good omen of good things to come.
You can see a short slide show here.
If you want wedding photographs like these for yourself or someone you love, give me a call.
Here’s where I’ll be on Saturday
Come by and say hello. I’ll be here with Amy.
