Here’s how fun your wedding photography experience can be:
Britton and Kayla had a total of 5 shoots with me during their wedding experience. We did their engagements (and had a pizza double date afterwards), did their first look and formals at the capitol (and I’ve never delivered a bigger formals gallery 🤩), their wedding ceremony and reception in Utah, formals in Rome, and finally their sealing in Rome.
I previously knew Britton a bit as a friend of my husband, but in the process I got the joy of getting to know him and Kayla and now proudly call them my friends, instead of just friends of my husband. I got to see them get more comfortable with me over our shoots and more comfortable in front of the camera too. By the time these shots were taken at the end of their formal session in Utah, I was seeing all their personality come out in the photos, genuine smiles.
At their ceremony in Utah I got to know all their family and friends that would be joining us in Rome. I knew exactly who they were close to and would want candids of, I knew everyone’s names and was easily able to give directions to pretty much everyone in the group when needed.
It felt familiar, it felt genuine, and I had so much more ability to capture meaningful moments, to be creative.
There’s a million more benefits to having a photographer you’re comfortable with, these are just the ones I could feel at play every time I worked with these two.
If this is the level of comfort and connection you want from the person responsible for documenting your love on one of your most important days, talk to me. It’s my favorite kind of work 💙

THE FIRST OF THE ROME PHOTOS ARE HEERRREEEEEEE 😍😍😍😍
Cannot thank and for trusting me with all their photos, but especially with their Rome photos. It was the most amazing experience to be there taking photos, truly a dream come true!

The perfect little mix of colors and b&w’s to show off this perfect day with Makayla and Cody ✨
Slides three and four are some of my favorite pictures I gal at a session. Obvi on a wedding day you gotta get some individual shots of the bride and groom, so during Cody’s time in the spotlight I told him to look over at his (new) wife and they both started to chuckle a little. Both of them are looking at each other and just loving their first few hours of married life together, it’s definitely a must have at every wedding for me!!

Started looking through this gallery today to give some examples to another bride and said “dang I gotta share more of these” 😂
One thing I’m a firm believer in is that you need a good director for your sealing exit. For both the couple AND their guests. You only get one shot at your sealing exit photos, it helps SO MUCH to have a photographer who will give some instructions to your guests and you to get the most out of this event, especially if you prefer candids over posed photos!! So before the couple comes out of the temple, I make sure to let everyone know what to expect, remind them to ignore me completely, and ask them to please appoint one person in their group as the designated iPhone content creator so we can limit cell phones as much as possible. It might seem like a small thing, but when you get your gallery back you’ll be SO glad!

Shooting my second to last wedding today before my own wedding 🥹 stay tuned to see how many times I’m gonna cry today, I have a feeling it’s gonna be a lot 😂

The way I just haven’t posted on instagram in like a month and a half 🥲🫠
Let me tell ya, summer as a wedding photographer + hospital work every once in a while + planning your own wedding is NOT for the faint of heart 😂 I am so so grateful for this awesome job but DANG am I tired, and instagram maintenance so quickly gets put on the back burner. So here’s some fine life updates!
Back in June I got to take my first trip to Europe with and for the content retreat of my DREAMS. Have I touched a single photo yet in this insane time of my life? Absolutely not, but I can’t wait to show you what I didddddd and hopefully go back someday for a wedding!!
Nick and I get married in just over 3 weeks 🥹 I’m doing tons of little projects in the next few weeks, getting so excited to see my family soon, and most importantly getting reeeaaaallllyyyy ready to be done with long distance in 19. DAYS.
Doing tons of shoots and staying up far too late working in an effort to have as much done as possible before our wedding. Taking two weeks off during busy season has a high price tag, namely my social life and sleep schedule currently 😂
Just last week I was brought on to to associate shoot weddings for her 😍 Jenisse and I shot one wedding a couple years ago together and have been instagram friends ever since, and I cannot wait to shoot with her cool couples!!
Anyways. Love summer. Love this work. Love this fun part of life I’m in. And love you all!
