Using pictures from the last wedding shoot, I answer two questions. Why do I have a photo-blog? and Why are pre-wedding pictures (formals) so great.

There was NO Editing on this bridal picture
(It makes me happy to be able to say that)

AMAZING!!!!!!
Wow! You never fail to impress and inspire me.
Wow! That is a great shot. Kudos to all of you for braving the elements.
Isn’t that the best! I love when they come out magical…no editing needed.
Gorgeous. WOW, I would have expected to see this image in DT’s or Scott Mylars portfolio with the exact, perfect lighting. LOVE IT! You did great Scott!
Hey Scott, would you be willing to post up the info for the shot. I am curious what all your settings were.

the background looks unreal! i love that 5th picture.
JaG
I love all the purple/pink flowers!
I won’t complain about the lack of ice and snow this time. Beautiful green backgrounds and again amazing mountains. I gotta get up there one of these lifetimes.
I really love how vibrant the colors are. The really are beautiful.
That glimpse of the parasol is quite the finishing touch. I’m curious to see if/how you implemented it in the other shots. I’ll have to check out the complete set! (JaG)
These pictures are amazing. I just can’t get over how beautiful the location is. Not what I pictured Alaska to be like at all. It will be fun to go there some day…in the summer. 
These look really good! Thanks for posting them with tips!
When it comes time to upgrade my 50D, I’m definitely going full-frame, very nice. My faves are 1 and 5.
JaG
wow! those are amazing! I want to go to alaska in the summer now!
Love them! Fireweed is my favorite flower, I like how it looks in the 4th frame. I am Jealous that you got sun on your Alaska Trip, I had rain, rain, rain. (JaG)
Very impressive. Even more impressive that you shot those in the middle of the day. I have a lot to learn about photography (hopefully some from you JaG

WOW Scott! These are great – the colors are beautiful. I love the one of the bride at the gate and the one of them on the bridge. They are all awesome though.
Great shots! I love La Caille, I used live very close and pass by every day.
Do they charge you to shoot photos there?
These shots are so elegant. I love the location and the colors.
I love that shot with her standing by those rustic doors- very very beautiful!
I have never had the chance to shoot there, and it looks AMAZING. I too love the one with her in front of the doors. Stunning.
She’s married now so I can show off her bridals – Check out the full gallery
Here’s a couple to embarrass her sisters… if that’s possible

I think these pictures are so unique and set you apart from the rest. Great job!
Seriously, FUNNEST Bridals I’ve EVER seen! They turned out great. I can see why you were so excited. Really, they’re so different and have so much more personality than the standard bridals. I love them. Good work!
I love how you really capture the unique personalities of each couple. Sure, there are some standard poses but looking through your galleries is full of surprises, not the same stuff over and over and over again.
The track pictures are awesome. They are so unique.
Love the personality with the track and spikes.
I’m not Just being lazy…
but to prevent a certain fiancee from accidently seeing these pictures
You’ll have to click on the link to see these bridals for now
They were taken in SLC at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building
She really wanted indoor shots and this is the most common place
And because it’s common it’s also no cost or reservation… that I know of.
Are there other good indoor spots in SLC??? If you know… let me know!

So it’s been a while since I’ve posted one of my photo shoots.
(You can look for them on my site)
But I’ll hopefully start again from now on… and there are a ton coming soon!
Starting with Alyse,
this is at a location I’ve done a bunch
but haven’t done for a little while.
Sorry about the watermarks… i think the detract on these small pictures,
but I left them on and was too lazy to re upload them.
I had the honor of taking pictures for Susan Hartwig.
Her roommate came out to help with the flower and dress and helped me out some on the reflector.
Dawnee Ray came to help out and have the opportunity to take some pictures…
a special thanks to her as some of the pictures come from her.
She looked beautiful and we had a great time.

This is the spot where I first took pictures (bridals and engagements) It had been a long time since I had visited and the first time I have ever seen it so packed with people getting pictures taken. We all behaved ourselves and got to take pictures everywhere we needed, except for the grove, because of a “kind” man who insists that there is a point where center street no longer becomes public property. (Who knows he might be correct)
Taken accross from the Timpanogas Temple. I was so amazed at the amount of families that showed up while we were there to take pictures. There was at least 5 groups at one point and they were constantly coming and going.
One thing that amazed me about how many people came is that the light was less than good.
That is why I was very happy to have brought a friend and my new favorite toy… my 42″ reflector. It worked wonders and brought my editing time down so dramactically that I almost didn’t know what to do. I had my same impulses to touch up and make the pictures better and unique, but most of the time I was grasping at the air… as there was little to improve.
If you are listening and you are a photographer don’t put off buying a reflector as long as I did… get one now! (And get a good one)

Their wedding is December 27th, we did bridal pictures (and pre-wedding couples pictures)
We went to the same canyon that i did the other 15 photo shoots last month…
Well the leaves have all fallen but it seems that even so it just makes things a little more challenging…
and that makes it fun.
Props to the couple, her sister and cousin for staying out in the cold for a couple of hours and helping misty maneuver in her dress in the middle of a forest.
No matter how much you play with the pictures afterwards the pictures still retain the unique colors and lighting of the time of day/place and season that you took them.
I look forward to their wedding in December.
Great post. Though it can be fun to document the wedding, these formals are really awesome. (And thank you for not calling them groomals, haha. Such a weird sounding name).
Great images, I’ve no doubt your clients are thrilled with what you produce. I feel like I do see some of that improvement you talk about making, and I haven’t been following you for terribly long. And it looks like you’re branching out a bit with your processing (either that or you’re just showing more of the stylized ones than usual). Either way– great stuff!
