On the night before Jeannie and Julian got married, they gathered with friends and family at their favorite restaurant in Park City, Utah. Since they live in Park City, they know all the best places and chose to celebrate at 350 Main.
After dinner, Jeannie’s father told everyone about Jeannie and Julian’s first date. The date didn’t go so well. But their second date was a hit. And on that night, they made an apple pie together. And so, on the night before the wedding, and to celebrate love and first dates and second dates, apple pie was served to all the guests for dessert.



















p.s. 350 Main gave me the best steak I’ve ever eaten. Cooked meat, yum yum.

Mariah and Dan got married in Salt Lake City at La Caille. It’s fancy. Now, when I photograph a wedding, I’m normally there for the whole event. Getting ready, the ceremony, dinner, dance and the see-you-later part. But if you want me there for just the ceremony and dinner, I’ll do that too. That’s what I did for Mariah and it turned out just dandy.

Ben and Naomi’s wedding took place in Salt Lake City at Red Butte Garden. Good times and laughter. And dancing. Oh, was there ever dancing. If you held back from the dancing you were in the minority. Let it all go, folks. This here’s a party.

On the night before Ben and Naomi got married, they had a dinner for family and friends. The night started with big sun. Then, dark clouds, then rain. But wait for it, wait for it. Ah, there it is: the sun.
A great night.

Who said you need to get married in Utah in order for me to photograph your wedding? I never said it and if someone did, they were misinformed.
Now, take for example, this couple. They’re getting married in Idaho, shortly, and I’ll be there to photograph the event. Can’t wait. I love to photograph weddings.
Back in May I went to Rexburg for their engagement pictures and last week we drove to Saltair for her bridal pictures. And we included the groom. Sort of like engagement pictures again, but with fancier clothes, a bouquet, and more horse flies. Yes, there were horse flies and let me tell you, those suckers bite.

One of the finest places in Utah to have a wedding is Log Haven. That’s where Tom and Katie decided to get hitched in June. For me, one of the highlights was during the ceremony, Tom’s grandfather recited a poem by Pablo Neruda. Tears all around.

Allow me to tell you two things I learned at Lizy and Nick’s wedding.
Number one–Mariachi bands should be a regular part of nearly every function where people gather, including church and funerals and those ceremonies where someone is presented with an over-sized check. The mariachi band was my favorite part of her reception. The other thing I learned is this–I want to laugh and smile as often and frequently as Lizy does. (You’ll see what I’m talking about when you view the pictures of her).
And then a third thing I already knew, but was reinforced at her wedding–I love being a wedding photographer. That night, at the reception, as people were having a good time, dancing, laughing, and the sun was setting low, low, so that good light was starting to come in, I stood back for a minute and thought that if I was just driving by and came across this scene, the first thought I’d have is “Hey, look. Happy people dancing and having fun. I want to stop the car and go photograph that.”
Hi. My name is Justin. I am a wedding photographer. And now, Lizy and Nick:

A week before we were going to take these engagement pictures, Kaitlyn and Jared came by my studio to meet first, then talk about what they had in mind, and just to see if we were on the same page regarding how to make some engagement pictures that were a true reflection of what they were like as a couple. It gave me a chance to ask a few questions about them–you know, how they met, who liked who first, and all the details about their wedding. So when they came back to be photographed I knew a little bit about them.
All you need to know about them is that they are in love, can’t stop smiling when they look each other in the eye, and they are about as charming as can be. These engagement pictures were all taken in Provo Utah. Enjoy.

The finest place in Utah for weddings gowns is Alta Moda. There’s no secret there. And every so often they have a party for wedding vendors. You know, photographers, florists, DJ’s, divorce lawyers. (Just kidding about the lawyers). So a few days ago I went to their party with my girlfriend who also happens to be my wife. Here’s a picture of us being cute together.

Alta Moda just re-designed their website so you want to check it out here and they even have a few pictures I took of beautiful Lindsay. Their party was great fun and it was good to see all the people I dig, like Melissa, Tim, Jon, Leo, Carol and Cynthia, and I was able to meet three photographers who I’ve been dying to meet–Kate, Rebekah, and Stacy. Good times and fancy cheese. And Micah from the Gatsbys was there handing out his demo CD which Amy and I listened to on the way home and danced a funky dance in the car. Want your next function to be awesome? Hire the Gatsbys. If you came to our Christmas party you might recall that’s who we were lucky enough to have play for us.
Thanks, Hilary for the good times. You are a dream.

Hi. My name is Justin. I am a wedding photographer. I love love and I want to photograph your wedding, especially if you are getting married in Hawaii or Greece.
I met Jessica about a year ago when she responded to an ad I placed looking for an assistant. Lots of good candidates came by and Jessica got the job. I’m impressed with her charm and confidence. Around here, we try as hard as we can to provide our clients with world class service and Jessica knew just what that picture looked like. So now she’s moving because her husband is going to law school in another state. Thank you Jessica for all your help at Justin Hackworth Photography. You’ll be missed.

The 30 Strangers project will soon be over. But what to do about all those people that still wanted to participate after the 30 spots were filled? (We filled them in about 2 hours). Well, we came up with a great plan and a super deal. Interested parties still have a little time to get in on it. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll give you the low-down. That’s what Jenna did. And I was so glad she did, too. She’s a photographer, too, and I always love meeting other creative types.

Later, Megan’s sisters showed up and I took pictures of the whole group. Amongst themselves there was some catching up to do, of course, so the conversation included this gem.
One sister: Today my son ate two of my birth control pills. He’s fine. The lady at poison control said he could eat the whole pack and all he’d get is a stomach ache.
I love my job.
Our 30 Strangers project is well under way and I love the way it’s going so far. But what to do about all those people that still wanted to participate after the 30 spots were filled? Well, we came up with a great plan and a super deal. If you want to know what it is, email me and I’ll tell you all about it. That’s what Leah did. And I was so glad she did, too, because a while ago I found her great blog and since then, I’ve been wanting to meet her. I love it when stuff like that happens. Thanks for coming in, Leah.

The mother: Tell him what you like to do. Tell him what you do as soon as you get home from school every day.

I love it when people stop by to say hello, just like Sammy did earlier today. And I just happened to have my camera with me and couldn’t pass up the chance to make some picutres of her. Sammy is a great painter and it was good to hear what she’s up to.




For Lizy and Nick’s engagement pictures, we drove out on the North side of Utah Lake. They were real champs and didn’t balk at the idea of walking out in a teeny bit of mud, even though they both had new shoes. And let me just say, their shoes were fabulous. So here they are: Lizy and Nick. Beautiful.






If you’d love to get some gorgoues pictures for yourself and someone you love in a classic documentary style, we should talk.
If you ask me, their story is hot. They met on a house boat at Lake Powell. So there you go. Summertime. Swim suits. 100 degrees. Leisure time. No wonder they’re in love. That’s very cool. I mean, hot.











Big thanks to the Penny Royal Cafe in Provo for letting us take pictures in their space.

It was a beautiful and small wedding. Sixteen people total. That includes the bride and groom, the guests, and the little boy carrying the ring. Eighteen people in all if you count the bishop and the photographer. By the way, the last picture shown in this post may be my favorite group shot I’ve ever taken at a wedding.
The event took place in Salt Lake City at Heritage Gardens.
Here’s a slideshow of more of their wedding pictures.

Here were my two favorite things about Rachel and Micah’s wedding day in Salt Lake City. I loved the speeches from her parents, and I loved hearing Micah play the violin, accompanied by Rachel. My other two favorite things were hearing Hannah sing and watching their slideshow. Rachel and Micah are so classy and refined and I’m really happy to have been there.

Rachel is like her mother–charming and composed. In fact, the whole family is like that. I photographed her sister’s wedding a couple years ago and I’m thrilled to be shooting for this family again. And after being with them, you always walk away with a smile.







You can buy prints here and see the rest of her bridal pictures.
Rachel was photographed at her house in Salt Lake City. She was a real champ too, standing out there in the cold the whole time. Here’s the support team. Thanks Arial!
