2 days ago we talked about coming out of the SLC LDS Temple and some group shots… and more or less about the beginning of this wedding.
Read It
We shall now continue
We’ll focus on the kids themselves and then next edition we’ll end off with the reception
I think this is a picture one of my interns took as I was setting up a shot… he got in close and photographed this neat moment. Go Will!
In any case you’ll notice a distinct usage of plant life in their pictures… a couple of reasons, she loves plant life, she studies it up at Utah St and she is even did her reception at Cactus and Tropicals and so I’m thinking I’ve done more than a few weddings at SLC Temple so I wouldn’t mind at all focusing on some places I haven’t been to a lot since often I’m focused on the building.
OK let’s meet them
This is Bret
He’s older than you think… not like ancient or anything but he’s older than his brothers who we kinda met last time.
And this is Michelle
OK we hope to hear from Michelle and Bret later with their stories and advice from the day and hopefully learn about what pictures are special to them with some fun stories why.
But for now I took a quick peak at the pictures she posted on facebook to see what she was liking.
She put up that first one
A couple of my favorites I put up last time
And there’s nothing like a good ol fashion straight smiling at the camera kinda picture.

Ok ok so it’s not exactly molten lava coming down a mountain… but it was once upon a time.
You should just be happy I wasn’t cheesy enough to title it “Whole Lava Love” – (Though I wanted to)
Anyway… expect a few more posts on this wedding. We did wedding pictures at the Kona LDS Temple and on the way to the resort we stopped in the middle of no where and took some fun pictures. It was like going to the salt flats for something totally unique, but obviously it’s not salt and we weren’t there at sunset, but where we were at sunset was pretty amazing and those will be coming… when I get back to Utah. I leave Hawaii tonight and will be back in utah tomorrow. I have 3 weddings next week, so it’ll be busy.
They haven’t even had their engagement pictures yet, but the festival of colors were happening and I told them if they got a wedding dress I’d take some pictures of them.
They did… and therefore in the mass of 10k+ people I shot a few pictures for a few minutes.
It’s almost like a trash the dress event.
They get married this August

They wanted to do something with the bench… I said sure let’s give it a try. At times I’d love to be the planner, think of great ideas way in advance, but then I realize why mess with a good thing.
No Thank You!
Thank you for always wanting me to do your pictures since we’ve gotten to know eachother, glad we could make it happen.
And I hope I did it justice!

Some professional photographers won’t do family pictures… I love it. I also don’t mind giving huge discounts for them.
You can’t slack off on them, in fact they’re probably even more work, but that’s what family is for, helping out.

I
You know it was something special when the toast at the reception 3 weeks later they make analogies to the sunset.
If your life is anything like that sunset on your wedding day… well it’s gonna be something special
You can see here during the ceremony the sun was setting and it took some time for the color to really expload a few minutes later.
There’s overcast and then there’s White Overcast… where the sky is pure white with no definition to it and it provides no unique or warm glow like some types of cloudy days. So to say it was challenging is correct.
As you can tell I’ve really been loving twilight these days.
I searched around for the area with the most frost on the trees in bountiful.
Some random country road.
We pulled up to the location and it just kinda occurred to me that the car had lots of light power… why not use it.
I know it’s nothing terribly ground breaking but it was the first time for me.
I used the car lights on all the twilight/night pictures.
Stay tuned for the reception and luncheon pictures… I tried a new lighting style that I’ve never done before and they turned awesome.
The day of was perfect weather. Cloudy just a little snowy and a balmy 34degrees.
I say that because the day before was an Ice Storm that left an inch of ice all around town.
And the day after the temp dropped 30Degrees to a high of 4 with an extra -20 of windchill.
It’s a small little building (in comparison) and the grounds were very limited because of the snow.
We had to go back inside to warm up a few times… but in the end the pictures were really good.
And the many fun goofy pictures really fits their personality. They did great!
