This has kind of become one of my things I do at each wedding.

First of all I always stay until the Bride and Groom leaves… though there might not be much going on and though the families tell me I’m free to go, it doesn’t hurt to stick around just in case something happens so the families aren’t left saying and remembering how there was one shot they wish they would have gotten.

I usually drag the shutter when they leave with a low flash straight at them… I’ll pan along with them and sometimes even exagerate the pan of the camera to get some fun lines.

As you can tell it’s best when they’re waving good bye… and lots of fun when the car is decorated nicely. (The people that decorated the car will be so happy with your pictures documenting their hard work)

I love when i find good locations to photograph from above.

Remember we go through life seeing things at the 5′2″-6′ angle… change that up and you automatically add a unique quality to your pictures.

Dresses often look really good from this angle as well. These two didn’t need it but certain body types will appreciate it as well.

70mm f/2.8 if you’re wondering… I bet if I had my 50mm f/1.4 it would have a more dramatic effect but I would have had to work really hard to make sure his head was the same distance away as hers.

Wedding and Reception were both held at the Red Butte garden.

We didn’t have a lot of time for setup portraits between the ceremony and reception.
But that was just as well as they asked me to document and not be in their face too much.

I like that style anyway capture the emotions of the day.

The Engagements and Bridals were more about creation, this one was about capturing the feelings of the day.

(Warning… there’s a lot. The first 150 should give you a good run down)


I sure made that place look like a forrest!


All prepped and ready to get married.


Still hasn’t seen her. But I’m sure he’s excited.

Some Details


Tried something new with the rind.
They had beautiful toasting glasses.
I don’t have a macro lens so I couldn’t get super close anyway.


The ring shots might have been forgotten if the best man hadn’t brought it to me before the ceremony.
Props to him.


When everyone is super excited about the flowers It’s time to start taking a bunch of pictures of flowers.
Probably would have done it anyway while I waited. But I more and more I see how much the setting of their reception means to brides.


What wedding event would be complete without a picture of the cake.


There weren’t too many posed shots that evening.


There’s a bunch of shots of them standing there as they listened to the pre-ceremony speaker.
This is just on of the ones i liked the framing of.
They’ll probably like the other pictures with more expression.

Bridesmaids watching the ceremony.


Exits are always a lot of fun.

Whoever told the mom that white pedals would be better… well they were right.

Since I post so much of wedding couples, i thought I’d take a moment an share some moments from the rest of the day. (Read a little more about my thoughts on the subject)

Very beautiful wedding in Southern California

Wedding: Newport Beach

I figure if I put posts before i get around to posting picture
I’ll get around to filling them up sooner than if not.
But at least I can put up the link to their gallery online.
(Which I always do quite quickly)

UPDATE: Here’s a picture
Apparently it’s one of their favorites.
I liked it… but I was unsure what their reaction would be.

The lambson wedding was in Salt Lake City and the Reception on the mountainside of Provo.

Believe it or not it was actually my first outdoor reception
I guess it’s not a common thing around here in Utah.
But I really really liked it.

It was all very picturesque… even though it becomes near impossible to take great pictures toward the late part of the evening.
But some of them at sunset and dusk are awesome and pleasently moody.

I’ll be doing a few more this summer and I’m looking forward to each one of them… though I doubt any of them come close in terms of amazing views.
(You could see the whole valley from the lawn!)

That being said until I get the time to post some of the pictures you can find some here:
Lambson Wedding Pictures

I couldn’t figure out how to organize them like I usually do (the first few pictures are supposed to be of the happy couple)
I should re-upload them now that I know how to do it in this new release of Lightroom.

BTW Sam Lambson knows how to do web-programming and we actually bartered in exchange for his wedding pictures.

Programming time = wedding pictures

I would offer that same deal to any web-programmer out there… I always have projects in mind.

In fact I prefer Programming to Money…. hands down!!!

I’ve already done lots of pictures for this wonderful couple,
and they are lots of fun and finally I was able to do the last event in the series…
Their Utah Reception.
