Ladies and gentlemen…
Props to the bride for not only being willing but more than happy to go out to the stinky gnat infested waters of the Great Salt Lake.
And to her Mom and two sisters and niece that came to help.
And to my wonderful Intern Heidi who braved the swarms of mosquitoes that came out about 5 minutes prior to this shot
Annika (the bride) had no problem going out into this little area in her beautiful wedding dress and in between being sucked dry by mosquitoes she even posed and smiled.
Now for the exciting part…
Usually I spend a good 10-20 seconds editing pictures… but I was happy to see with the great lighting and flash assistance from Two directions
There was NO Editing on this picture.
(It makes me happy to be able to say that)
I didn’t have time to really even review pictures because we had overstayed our welcome with the blood suckers. So I was just hoping things would be in focus.
And to top it all off it was pretty much the very last picture of the night. Huzzah
I kinda wonder what we could do to it if i do decide to edit it…
what a beautiful sunset and what a beautiful bride.
I will post the rest when i get to them i suppose… but for now back to the weddings from a few weeks ago.
These pictures were taken at the Garden park ward in SLC, Utah
I actually went assistentless for this one and did the whole thing with a light stand.
It’s kind of funny because for years I did everything without assistants or lightstands.
I hope I’m not chained to lights forevermore.
Anyway I thought it was funny.

So many of you know the trick but for the rest of you… go high f/stop for the star effect.

A “why not” attempt to create the coolest photography house in Utah.
UPDATE: The owner sold the house 2 days before I was to move in… can’t blame him I suppose… it was a great rental price but way overpriced to buy, so good for him if he was able to sell it.
But now I’m looking for a new place… and if possible even another option for another PHOTO HOUSE
So I ran across this house for lease and went to look at it and take some pictures.
It was perfect!
But a little bit too spendy for just me and my lonely self.
So…. I had an idea
Planning
I’ve been talking with the owner about leasing it and then renting out the other 4 bedrooms.
He’s down… now I just need to see the interest for renters.
The Idea
The coolest photog house and hangout in Utah
A place for photographers to live, eat, breath photography
As a place to live or as a place to have an office/studio
Indoor studios, outdoor locations, rooms to rent, office space, place to live and have photo related events
To live in the house it would probably need to be single folk like myself.
WHERE
It is a very secluded house that happens to be very near Everything
See it up-close on Google Maps
It’s located in Lehi, Utah
2.0 miles from American Fork/Lehi shopping area on state st.
Including countless restaurants, Walmart, Costco, you name it!
All are under 2.5 miles away
2.2 miles from freeway on-ramp to I-15
12 miles to Salt Lake county (Draper, Bangerter hwy)
13.3 miles to University ave in Orem
30 miles to downtown SLC
Very close to tons of photographic locations in Utah county.
(The house comes with a list of all of these locations… haha )
The best indoor lighting possible
There are 20ft+ vaulted ceilings with a wall of big windows
Both of the bottom rows have a built in diffuser because of the style of shades.
And we can set up another room as a dark studio for when it’s not night.
Big studio and Workshop room
Alaska Bridals & Tips

Thought it would be nice to put the two of these together with the engagements I just posted of them
Are they technically called “Formals” since the groom was there too? I’m not sure
But since I wasn’t going to be around for the wedding (conflict of weddings) while i was there I did these.
Yes I know… It looks somewhat fake eh?
We did shoot middle of the day because I went 4-wheeling later that day.
So I was happy for the chance to get into some shade.
I do like that she had these flowers… they look real don’t they?!
They really liked these types of plants… I thought they were awesome.
I put the f stop up high to catch a bit more of the sun and of course flash to light up the foreground (them)

The creation of the first annual Jarvie Game
Aka JaG - “Jarvie’s Awesome Game”
View bottom for details on game
A chance to win super duper prizes
BACKGROUND (Yesterday)
I went on a photowalk yesterday.
I was around of a lot of awesome photographers, plenty of seasoned professionals.
But there were also a few photographers who were new to the game.
Some were brand new… having bought a new DSLR camera a week before and in one case the day before.
I have taught a lot of editing workshops recently.
Lightroom editing stuff: For beginners, intermediate and advanced.
But it’s been a while since I’ve taught actual photo skills and camera tech knowledge.
How to take better pictures stuff.
I did some yesterday and I remembered how fun it was.
You can ask Suzanne and Steph about it… we did an unorganized 2-3hr session back when I first met them.
I used to do it all the time for friends years ago when I wasn’t so busy.
I want to do it again. But I don’t want to charge and I want people to earn it.
THEREFORE >> Workshop
I think I want to do an all day kinda photo workshop thingy.
There are other winning options for those not needing or can’t make it to a workshop
If you would like to know more…
see the rest of the post to learn about the prizes and how to win
Me showing off my awesome family.
My talented brother his beautiful wife and their 4 wonderful kids.
Since I was the youngest it was almost as if I grew up being the older brother to the two oldest kids.
Now one of them (reminginton) is on his way to Florida.
I’ve never had the opportunity before to take typical MTC pictures… I guess this wasn’t all too typical. Then again I’m not too sure because I haven’t actually seen many.
Lots of interest
Lines for colors can be very long but that doesn't mean you need to wait in them... that's just for buying color
I had so many examples that I doubt I’ll fit them all into one post
But you can see a gallery of 200+ here
And if you ask for a password you can see all the 650+ that made the cut.
There are also two galleries on facebook – 2
You’ll notice there isn’t one focal picture in the bunch. There’s not one that is the pinnacle of perfection… but to this family there are many many that represent each person and will be fun to them.
Here are some examples:
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)
