Being a Guest
It’s not too often, these days, that I get to just be a guest at a wedding. I was shooting a ton at my sister-in-law’s wedding so I still wasn’t quite kick back. But over the Fourth of July my good friend, Megan, got married and I was able to attend with my parents.
It was such a gorgeous wedding. I was overwhelmed with all the stunning details. But my favorite thing was the look on Megan’s face as she walked back down the isle, arm in arm with her husband, Jordan.
Congrats to the two of them!!! And have fun in Italy!
Michelle & Dee: Married! Bountiful Wedding Photography
Sir Luke and I drove up to SLC on Sunday a couple days before the wedding. We arrived late and got up early so I could meet the ladies of the family for a morning of manicures and pedicures (am I the only one grossed out by the shortened term for that?). I am CRAZY ticklish and having someone hold my toes individually makes me go completely bonkers, but I made it through and still have the pretty toes to prove it.
I had such a good time at Michelle and Dee’s wedding. I was able to enjoy the wedding as a guest but it’s crazy to think I couldn’t take photos. I got tons of details and stalked my cute twin nieces Abbie and Baylee. How can you blame me?
The reception was so lovely! I would totally recommend The Castle in Layton, UT to anyone. It was a great venue with some fantastic vendors. The flowers and food were amazing.
And the best thing of the day my baby nephews playing together. James thought it would be fun to hang on to Tyler and go for a ride while he crawled around. Tyler had other ideas in the form of giant
tears. Being the mean auntie that I am I made their parents leave them crawling and crying and giggling til I got it on video… But it was SO funny! Check it out!
I’m so glad we got to celebrate with Michelle and Dee! Congrats again!

Merrick’s Baby Shower: Las Vegas Event Photography
I was asked to photograph Merrick’s baby shower. She had baby Benson a little over four months ago so he got to be coddled and loved all during the shower. This is the third shower I’ve been to as of late where the baby is at the baby shower. It’s actually super fun to see and hold the baby we’re all celebrating.
I had a blast! Thanks to my friend Valynn for bringing me to photograph the party!
Merrick even made her cute shirt embellishment. How crafty is she?! Love it. You can see the entire event and order prints here.

Amy & Warren: Married/ Wasington D.C. Wedding Photographer
She came out of the room in that beaded flapper dress (that must have weighed fifteen pounds) and the giant rose in her hair; my jaw dropped. She was radiant. Is radiant.
Amy has been in my life since the third grade. We had some fun times as kids but when college came along out friendship really expanded. I remember realizing that I didn’t have a roommate set for the freshman dorms. I had waited too long to get into anything decent and was relegated to Deseret Towers, which was sorta like a cinder-block prison without bars. I knew Amy was going to BYU as well and so one day at church I asked her if she’d want to room together. She said, “sure,” as lackadaisically as I had asked and that was that. We both had a rough year but were there for each other and lived together the rest of college together. She’s amazing.
And she chose an amazing guy to spend her life with. Warren is such a great guy. With the short time I was able to get to know him I knew he was so perfect for Amy. I am so grateful I was able to be there for their perfect day.
We photographed bridals on Thursday, the reception Friday and the actual marriage on Saturday. It made the bride and groom so much more at ease. We had a ball!
Amy thought of every detail for her vintage inspired reception. She found and designed everything herself. She is one in a million. This girl made her bouquet while she was getting her hair done. Crazy! She oozes talent. She hand drew her invitation and had it letterpressed on a friend’s press. So beautiful.
The wedding and luncheon were wonderful. It was fantastic to be a guest and the photographer. I loved everything about the wedding. I’m so glad I was able to be there for them.
