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.
Wedding: Salt Lake Temple
Dinner: The Lion House
Here is a slideshow of more wedding pictures
Here’s where you can buy prints and view the whole wedding.

If we’ve never met, now’s the perfect time to come say hello. Plus, we’re giving stuff away. Maybe you’ll be the winner.
Christmas is over and I had a great holiday. There was a ham, some presents, laughing, rides on the ATVs, naps, getting out the old family photographs, singing, and telling stories about when we were teeny. No wassle. I don’t know why we didn’t have Wassle. But we’re back home now and it’s back to work. I have two weddings to photograph this week, plus we’re doing another bridal show on Saturday. Busy, busy. Just the way I like it.

Rachel’s getting married in Salt Lake City on Tuesday. As part of the celebration, she had a tea party with family and friends. I was there to photograph the good times.

I knew when I woke up yesterday that it would be another great day. Turns out, I was right.
Jon Canlas is a pretty big deal. He’s sponsored by Fuji, he publishes his weddings in all the finest wedding publications, and he photographs weddings all over the world. And the amazing thing, is that he’s only 16 years old. Just kidding. He’s older than that.
Yesterday he came to my office and we had a great time talking about why we shoot weddings and what moves us to be photographers. He told me about his process and I told him about mine. (One thing that’s becoming increasing unique about Jon’s route is that he shoots all film). And we talked about the photographers we admire both in the wedding industry and in the commercial world.
I’ve admired Jon’s work for some time now, so it made me so happy to be able to spend a couple hours talking about the craft with someone I respect. Thanks, Jon. I want to have more days like that.

She’s working on a PHD in English Literature, he sells Ex-Eastern Bloc military aircraft. Now, their getting hitched. Check out this slideshow with more of their engagement pictures.
I think it’s a good sign when an engaged couple can’t stop smiling when they look at each other. From time to time I’d say, “Ok, now don’t smile for a second” and for Paige and Mark, that was impossible. They’d giggle and try not to smile, but in the end, they’re just so happy to be getting married. Now that’s sweet.
Location: Provo
Mood: Giddy bliss
Percentage of time smiling: 99.9%
Her coat: Freak’n awesome

Would you like to laugh, have a good time, and feel like everything’s going to be just right? Then hang around Karen and Aaron for a while. And I think you’ll get a sense of that when you check out their wedding pictures. As I’ve been going through the editing process, I couldn’t help but smile. Karen is laughing and having a good time in nearly every picture I took of her. Listen, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love my job.

Sure, she grew up here, but she had moved to California and started working as an actress. She just happened to be back in Utah to film a movie. He managed the club where the movie was being filmed. She vowed she’d never move back here. Ah…that was because she didn’t realize how charming Travis could be. Ladies and gentlemen–Travis and Tisha. Two minute slideshow here.
The Venue: Thanksgiving Point
If you drive an hour north of Sun Valley in the central mountains of Idaho, you’ll pass Dooley Creek and climb Galena pass, then level off at 7,000 feet about five miles before you get to Stanley. Now, turn off Highway 75 and head west to Red Fish Lake. If you ask the local folks at the lodge about the weather they’ll tell you it can snow up there any day of the year.
So when you leave your cabin at 5:55am on September 1st for a sunrise wedding, that’s when you notice you’ll be shooting in a blizzard.
But that’s not where the story begins. The story starts when Jason and Jenna are in high school. Back when Jason and his buddy thought it would be funny to sneak into Jenna’s house and put on her clothes while she was sleeping. Imagine how that looked when Jenna’s mother came in. That’s the first time she had ever met Jason. Oh, sure, they laugh about it now…
A few years later, he was living in San Fransisco and she was living in Boise. Their folks both say it was the Lord that got them back together. The engagement was speedy, and on September 1st, 2008, in the Central Mountains of Idaho, Jenna and Jason got married in a snow storm. It was, on all accounts, beautiful.
You can see a three minute slide show of their wedding here.
