Jacque & Cory : The Wedding

Jacque threw around a lot of ideas for her wedding, and in the end she decided to go with a theme that reflected the both of them.  I think she did a great job doing that.  Congratulation Cory and jacque!

24th of July

If you are reading this outside of Utah (and you are not Mormon) you will probably never heard of the days of ‘47 of the 24th of July Celebration.  The 24th of July is the day the Mormon Pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, so every year Utah shuts down in honor of them.

Yesterday Alex had the day off, so we spend the whole day together.  Here is the evidence (p.s. these were all taken with our canon point and shoot):

 

Paige really wanted to drive to Vernal.  She was so pissed when I put her in her car seat!

Daddy and Paige at the Vernal Temple

This lady saw us taking pictures at the temple so she stopped and took one of all of us.  It was so sweet!

Paige watching the fireworks and liking them…

Paige not liking the loud, crackling fountains.  Too funny!

 

Happy 24th of July everyone!  I am off to SLC for Bridget’s 1st birthday party!  

Blogging that and Jacques and Cory’s wedding next week!!!

Jamie & Jeremy : The Wedding

Jamie & Jeremy’s wedding was amazing!  They had a small ceremony and reception in her mom’s beautiful back yard.  It was awesome, and I am so glad I was there to capture the day for them.

 

Her ring was so beautiful.  It had  massive rock…a girl after my own heart!

The ceremony

Man and Wife

Jeremy…I think Jamie is a better choice!  

The details.  This wedding had the best details I have seen this year!  AMAZING!

Brooke & Mitch : The Engagement

Brooke and Mitch wanted some outdoorsy type pictures for their engagements.  After speaking to Brooke I thought about my friends Grandma’s house.  She has a beautiful yard and and awesome pasture behind her house.  Then we went to Gorky Park, which is always beautiful.

 

They looked at me all crazy when I told them to run towards me.  But I think it was worth it.

Camping with Paige

Alex really wanted to go camping with Paige for fathers day, so we packed up all of our stuff and headed to the Uinta Mountains.  It was alot of fun but Paige was kind of grumpy.  Here are some shots of her adorableness…

 

I get a kick out of this picture!  She loved the flashlights!

I love taking pictures of fires.  I heards someone say you can see the personalty of the fire if you take a picture of it!  Crazy, but cool.  I thought this was cool because the log cracked just as I was taking it! 

 

More to post tomorrow!  Check back!
