Even though it is not your average Zion wedding photo, it will forever be one of my favorites!

Cecilia (their amazing photographer ) snapped this candid photo while we were hanging with the surprise wedding guests.

After the ceremony, when Jennifer and Daniel found out that my hubby and doggos were along for the ride, conveniently napping in the car, they asked if they could meet Marlee & Baylee... who can pass up hanging with dogs on their wedding day??

Thanks for capturing this moment, I cherish this memory and all the beautiful souls that shared it!

Under the vast desert sky, Joy and Jack's love story continued at Dead Horse Point, where the red rocks echoed the timeless beauty of their connection.

Nestled in on an overlook just beyond Zion's grandeur, Monika and Will celebrated a love that resonates with the spirit of the landscape.

As their officiant and guide, I wove a tapestry of serenity and intention for their ceremony. Starting with a guided meditation and singing bowl, they sat holding hands and became one with the world around them.

We continued the ceremony with them seated, gazing into one and others eyes, this moment marks represents the first step on their path as Husband and Wife and their intentional journey together.

Bri & Josh embarked on an unforgettable Utah elopement. Initially, the plan was the Salt Flats and Park City, but after delving into Bri's vision, we scouted the breathtaking Uintah Mountain Range with photographer .

From our first chat to the big day, every detail was carefully curated. Serving as their officiant and planner, I not only performed the ceremony but also coordinated their entire elopement journey; everything — from capturing moments with for photo and video to incorporating nature's beauty with a talented florist . And let's not forget, the mini celebration of a first dance on the mountain top followed by cake by and a champagne toast added the perfect touch.

Despite the unexpected Utah storm and cooler weather, Bri & Josh embraced every moment, turning challenges into cherished memories. Here's to a love that withstands storms and finds magic in every twist of fate.

Make sure to check back tomorrow because we will chare some of the professional images from their day!

Just Jenn!

In my element while in the tranquil company of these magnificent horses, pausing to reflect on the beautiful ceremony I just officiated for Connie and Doug.

skillfully captured the essence of this candid moment. I was hanging with the horses while Garrett took the couples portraits, and he happened to look over at the same time I turned and smiled.

Happy 4-month Anniversary to Shaneice and Terrance!

They reached out the night before their wedding day... because their officiant canceled!

Luckily we connected right away and made a plan. The next day we met a few hours before the ceremony and laughed like we had known each other for years.

Congratulations you two, so glad I could be part of your big day!!

I met Ani & Lars at a wedding in 2022 and a year later, I performed their ceremony, and now they have become friends! They have a love that can only be explained in their own words:

Lar’s shared with me: that it is “Like Nature, It's constantly changing; you never know what's gonna happen next, but it will be beautiful regardless.”

Ani told me “I would move mountains and grab the sun out of the sky if that's what he wanted. There had never been a more wonderful person.”

Their relationship is loving and strong and better than any story or movie ever could be.

Congrats you two, thank you for sharing your love story with me!!!

Riley and Stan are one of those couples that just "goes" together; they are each other's safe place, and best friend. Aside from the lovey-dovey, romantic stuff, they work together incredibly well, to achieve their goals… while giving each other s**t along the way, making sure always to keep life fun!

AND - they know how to throw one hell of a wedding celebration!

Congrats!! riley__ann97

Alisha & Jeremy met way back in 2016 at a company BBQ, when Jeremy asked for her SnapChat… and quickly a friendship began because they talked daily. From there it moved fast (like matching tattoos within a few months fast) It never felt too fast to them, in fact, it always felt like they were in exactly the right place, because that is just how things go when two soul mates come together.

Congratulations You Two!!

Handfasting: A timeless ritual that beautifully symbolizes the joining of two souls in love and unity. As our hands are bound together, so are our hearts, our dreams, and our destinies. This ancient tradition reminds us of the strength and connection that comes from love's enduring bond.

The spark in this love story started in a Botany class at Weber State, and Taylor made a snarky comment which broke the ice, and they started talking.

Eventually a first date, a first kiss… and the rest is history, because they are MARRIED!
