Ben sent an email and told me he was getting married and wanted to know if I was interested in working with them. I like emails like that. And I like couples like Ben and Claire. So I’m going to photograph their wedding soon, but first things first. Engagement pictures. We started in my studio where it’s warm and cozy, then headed outside and up Provo Canyon. It was a little chilly, sure, but we went to the place where Ben proposed, and I think the memory of such things might have added an extra bit of warmth.

Me: Claire, did you know he was going to ask you that night?
Claire (smiling): Well, Ben can’t keep a secret.

Well, well, well. Look who’s engaged. Jacob and Audrey. And here they are, photographed at my studio in Provo and around town as well.

You may recognize Jacob as the very capable keyboard player for the band Fictionist.

I’m trying to take the week off from Christmas until New Years. It’s harder than I thought. I’ve turned down about eight photo sessions (maybe more) and a wedding. But on the flip side, I’ve only put on pants twice. (A slight exaggeration). Here are the photographs from my last photography session of the year, taken a couple days before Christmas, a spicy couple from Brazil, meet Otavio and Morena.

Ie Ling and Blake and getting married next month so they got all dressed, fancy, and came down to my studio for their engagement pictures.

Meet Blake and Ie Ling.

Photographed in downtown Provo, Utah, just blocks from my studio.

Recently engaged? Let’s talk.

Wedding bells for Jeff and Juliana will be ringing in January. Congratulations, you two. I can’t wait to photograph the wedding.

We took Patrick and Ashlee’s engagement pictures in Provo Canyon not too long ago. You take the road that leads to Squaw Peak, but then turn left to Hope Campground, instead. It’s gorgeous, or course, and we were there at the perfect time of year.

And now, meet Ashlee and Patrick.

Ashlee works at Platinum Salon in Orem, and has been cutting C. Jane’s hair for six years.

Last summer, they met working on the river in Moab. Both of them, river guides. Becky said she didn’t really care for him at first. Thought Andrew was a little goofy. But slowly, slowly, she changed her mind a bit. In fact, at some point, she told Andrew that if he could guess her middle name, she’d buy him ice cream. And if he couldn’t guess her middle name, he had to take her out on a date.

And now, Becky and Andrew are getting married. These portraits were taken in my Provo studio and also up Provo Canyon, just past the Hope Campground. It’s paradise up there and we only got rained on just a tiny bit.

Oh wait. You want to know if Andrew guessed her middle name? She doesn’t have a middle name.

They’re funny and fun and sarcastic, they love to kiss each other and laugh together. And they’re getting married next month in Salt Lake. I’ll be there to photograph the happy day.

Meet Laura and Austin.

Embarrassing moment- I called her Lauren (it’s Laura) at least twice. Maybe three times. Oh, brother.

Oh, sure I’ll be photographing their wedding in Idaho soon, but in the mean time, engagement pictures here in Provo. These two are so fun and could hardly stop smiling at each other, even for a second.

Meet Yoema and Matt.

They met in Logan. They had friends in common. Now, they’re getting married, and that’s how it works sometimes. So we got together in Salt Lake and we took some engagement pictures.

Meet Jessica and Paxton.

Planning a wedding has been a real hitch in the get-along since Jordan’s in the Marines’s and doesn’t know when and where he’ll be stationed. But they’re getting married. That much they do know. So we took some engagement pictures in Provo on one of those rare April days when you didn’t need a ski parka to keep warm outside.

They’ve known each other since high school, and now they’re getting married. Meet Kiersten and Jordan.

They met at school in Logan. Things started heating up in the fall, and now, this spring they’re getting married. We took these engagement pictures in Provo, not too far from my office. Meet Janessa and Jordan. Lovebirds.

Can’t wait for the wedding in May!

Aimie and Mathew are getting married at Alta this summer. So you might be asking yourself how they met. Fun story. They are both studying engineering in Austin, Texas and both were teacher’s assistants for the same class. Glances, giggles, flirting…you know how it goes. Next thing you know, there’s some chemistry in the engineering department.

So now there are some things to do before the wedding. One of those things is to get engagement pictures taken. We met downtown Salt Lake when they were both in town for Christmas. It was so much fun, we didn’t even get cold. Well, I didn’t.

Now, meet Aimie and Matt.

Well, well, well. Look who’s getting hitched. Annie and Brendan.

Annie was one of our interns earlier this year and I just can’t say enough about how much she lit the place up whenever she came to work. She’s just about as cute as can be (you can see that for yourself) and also has a great sense of style.

Congratulations, Annie and Brendan. And thanks, Annie, for all you have done for Justin Hackworth Photography.

Well, the good news is I’ll be in New York photographing the BlogHer convention in August and I’m really looking forward to that. The bad news is that I won’t get to photograph Brooke and Kevin’s wedding in San Diego because it’s at the same time as the convention. But the good news is that I still got to photograph them for their engagement pictures. And the bad news is–wait, there’s no more bad news. That’s it.

And now, meet Brooke and Kevin.

It all started with the cupcakes. Rachel and a friend had a contest to see who could make the best cupcakes. They invited the neighbors over to be judges. Matt liked the cupcakes, but he liked Rachel even more. Now they’re engaged to be married.
