An old friend is getting married and we did his engagements at his brothers house.
They wanted me to focus on having a few more B&W than usual…. so I added a lot towards the end.
You can see more of them if you see the whole blog post.

Why not use the local scenery to prove the point right?
Towards the end we were just playing around.
Just trying to show off some stuff from back in June
Here’s the first shoot I did with my new 70-200 2.8 VR
There’s a business park on the border of provo and springeville with lots of grass a stream and a big pond. Also some nice weeping willows. I’m not sure what it’s called but I know how to get there.
It’s been a while since I’ve been so I took the most recent couple there.
They’ll be getting married august 2nd
Engagement shoot in downtown provo
I suggest starting early.
You have about 1-2 hours after official sunrise until the sun peaks over the mountain.
Yes it’s early but if they’re alright with it it’s a great time of the day with good lighting and empty streets.
We went up American Fork Canyon
Got back about the time I usually start my photo shoots… but when you’re up in the mountains shade is plentiful and if you’re on the right side the sunset starts many hours earlier.
As a side note you don’t have to pay the fee to go up the canyon if you have a National Parks pass!
Pretty cool because I do.

In an effort to catch up and show you all what I’ve been up to… I’ll quickly post some stuff from june.
I’ve edited about a dozen photo shoots since I last posted one to the blog.
As i mentioned previously I’ve just been making the large password protected galleries, so that won’t let most of you see what’s been going down.
But now I’m almost done with all my edits (for now) and I thought I’d take a moment to post a recent photo shoot.
Since the last you’ve seen I now own 2 new lenses.

It was hard to choose because there were seriously dozens that could all have been strong contenders for announcement pictures.
I did two photo shoots for them recently
Engagements
They liked the first set I did so much they wanted more. And she was sick for the first one so she wanted some while she was feeling better.
She also figured since I was doing a book for their reception and she was making a slideshow that some extra pictures for it all would be nice.
I think it went quite well
Thanks to Allyson for assisting on this photo shoot.

Bridals
The next day we went to thanksgiving point and took pictures for her bridals.
I get to post them because I know he’s seen her in the dress… because he came along.
I’d like to thank Dawnee who assisted on this photo shoot.
Thanksgiving point has lots of spots all over the park it always makes sense to get a golf cart and be nice to the people at the desk so they can let you stay after the front desk is already closed so you can get great lighting.
We kinda went overboard this evening and took Tons of pictures… but she loves them a ton so I suppose it works.

They’re getting married later in August in Manti.
I think it’s a bit much to put each one as a seperate post.
And again I’ll only link the galleries online for now… sorry!
It means more work for you (clicking on links and searching for the best ones)
But happily it means less work for me… (Just writing, which i’m fast at)
Susana & Daniel
See online gallery
(my first completely foreign couple)
Location: Tahitian Noni gardens in the morning: Provo.
Suprisingly I’ve never been there until now.
Great place! It is $50 however, be forewarned.
Just did their wedding last Thursday.
Vilja & Jordan

They said that aren’t big fans of getting pictures taken…
If it wasn’t me then probably no one. (Which is a nice compliment)
They felt more comfortable being goofy.
Location: North Utah Lake… at this random park.
The wedding is in June
Sarah & Spencer
See Online Gallery
Location: Downtown SLC and Sugarhouse Park
Their Wedding is this friday and her bridals were just posted as well.
Brittany & Michael
See Online Gallery
Location: Mapleton Park and Surrounding Farmlands
It’s a lot of fun to just go out with no big plans for location in mind
and to just be able to stop the car along the road when you see something cool.
Their wedding is coming up in June
Sarah & Garth
See Online Gallery
Location: Provo River Trail (Near Utah Lake)
The picked the spot and I’ve never been there so that was neat.
I just did their wedding in bountiful last Saturday. Stay tuned.
Trinity & Jason
See Online Gallery
Location: Aspen Grove and Provo Canyon
Trinity was a tough girl… see her shoes? And then see all that snow!
Again: Sorry about not posting a picture with each one. But why an entree when you can have the whole buffet?
This is totally for real.
A 5 minute walk out on the lake on a nice sunny day with nothing but white surrounding us.
Pretty crazy stuff.
I’ve been wanting to do pictures on a frozen lake for a while.
It was worth the wait.
And thanks to my new D300 camera it handled the exessive amounts of White very well.

I have decided that I am not a fan of daylight savings.
We had to start shooting pictures at 4pm in order to get done before it got to dark.
However this couple was great and lots of fun, we got lots of unique pictures.

Sometimes brides really want a certain type of picture
Last week I took pictures for Krystal and adam… the lighting was a bit hard that day but we worked hard and got some good shots. Their wedding is coming up soon so we had to work fast on getting them done and edited.

I look forward to their wedding in Logan in December.
Four great shots in one evening…
it was bang bang done…
But everything turned out great, and I got lots of shots of each group.
Look at the limited galleries or request to see the larger full galleries,
with some of the goofy and fun pictures.
