Angel and Alex have been living on St. Thomas for the past few years, but decided to get married where their love began. One of their top priorities was a honeymoon around the world, so talk about cutting the wedding fat. They kept the things that were most important and meaningful to them and kicked trite traditions to the curb. Hallefreakinlujah. What resulted was an intimate and wonderful affair at Storm Mountain Amphitheater in Big Cottonwood Canyon with their favorite people and a whole lot of fun.

Angel and Alex, thank you for letting me be part of your wedding day. I can’t wait to see what an incredible life of adventure you build together.

Hilary and Ryan’s wedding day was a quiet, overcast day–we had the temple virtually to ourselves (get married on a Wednesday, folks) with the perfect amount of wind to carry Hilary’s gorgeous dress. Their family and friends were so thrilled for their marriage, with the happy “FINALLY!”s that made both of them smile from ear to ear at how long they’d waited for this day.

Nothing can stop a perfect love, I just want to say. Ryan got a terrible bloody nose before the reception, and ended up at the instacare–no big deal. But they got him taken care of and both he and Hilary came back cool as cucumbers and completely present in all the joy and beauty of their new marriage. A huge feat to say the least.

Hilary and Ryan, your wedding was a treat to be part of. So much love and happiness ahead for you two–thank you for letting me in on it.

Venue: Salt Lake City LDS Temple and Wheeler Farm

Dress: Penelope’s

Flowers: Flower Afternoon (could you tell I was obsessed?!)

Haley and Logan were married on an overcast day in the Provo temple. Even though they had friends and family galore there to support them, the whole day had this lovely quiet serenity. They celebrated at Southworth Hall downtown and I don’t know if I’ve ever known a kinder couple–Haley and Logan were full of love and gratitude to every person who came, and spent their time making each guest feel like a million bucks. I’d bet money that’s how they move through their lives when no one is watching, too, and there couldn’t be a better foundation for a marriage than that kind of selflessness in my book.

Haley and Logan, congratulations! Thank you so very much for letting me be part of your incredible day.

Venue: Provo LDS Temple and Southworth Hall

Dress: Custom made by bride’s mother-in-law

Jenny and Josh met online, and they couldn’t love each other more. They wanted their wedding to focus on candid moments, the little things that happen that get lost in the hugeness of the day.

These two were wed in the Salt Lake temple and celebrated at The Rose Establishment in downtown Salt Lake, a beautiful spot that was a perfect reflection of Jenny’s love for architecture and interior design and a great backdrop for dancing. We made a quick escape to the roof for some sunset photos of the two of them, and the whole of their wedding was simply everything a wedding should be.

Jenny and Josh, thank you for letting me be part of your wedding day. It was a treat.

Liz and Todd on their wedding day. Their cheeks must have been exhausted from the size of those smiles–not only do they have the best smiles, they give each other the best, squeeziest hugs. The kind you want to be squished in the middle of, no matter who you are. Love like theirs is the stuff dreams are made of.

Liz and Todd were married in the Oquirrh Mountain temple on a windy March day and celebrated at Sleepy Ridge Golf Course among friends and family and beautiful handmade touches. Thank you so much, you two wonderful people, for letting me in on such a glorious, full day. To a zillion more days of huge smiles and squeezy hugs!
