There was an absolute explosion of love and pure joy outside the temple where Emily and Max were married. They were overflowing. And why shouldn’t they be? They were just married for the whole of forever to the person they love most. Man my job is great. I admit that I’m an emotion junkie, and to say I got my high from Emily and Max’s wedding would be an understatement.

Emily and Max, you are perfect together. Thank you for your kindness, and for letting me be part of your biggest and best day. It was a pleasure.

Devin and Kyle are yet another example of the cold hard fact that I get to work with the nicest, most beautiful people on the earth. You’ll see in a second–you can feel who they are in these photos: kind, down to earth, and lovely as anything.

Their love makes sense, and despite both being smack in the middle of a busy school semester they found time to enjoy this incredible day that solidified and officialized their love for the whole of ever.

Devin and Kyle, thank you so much for letting me be part of your wedding day. You are perfect for each other, and I couldn’t be happier for you.

I have been sitting on this wedding for far, far too long–it’s featured over on 100 Layer Cake today, and I am beyond thrilled to finally be able to share it.

Ayley and Adam are the kind of couple I make my very best photos with–creative as anything, with fabulous style, but most importantly: full of and sharing in the most lovely way a beautiful, deep love that was the center of their love party.

Ayley has written so exquisitely about their wedding on her blog, it seems strange to add anything, when I feel like I was so wholly part of it, and still a fly on the wall–my most favorite way to feel when documenting a wedding.

One thing is for absolute sure: Ayley and Adam have something incredibly special. They radiate, together, and people of all kinds are just drawn to them. I remember Adam asking me over and over how I was feeling, on their wedding day, and I kept saying, “I’m so good!” but in a surprised way, because usually couples are (very understandably so) wrapped in the bliss and emotion of their big day. Ayley and Adam aren’t those people, though. They care about people, and the whole world, in a way that just invites everyone…to the love party.

Baha. Okay, that was cheesy, but just way too easy. And also the downright truth.

These two inspired me to shoot film again, and their whole day was a beautiful reminder of why I do what I do. Ayley and Adam, I cannot say enough thank yous for allowing me to be part of your loveliest day. You are a wonderful couple, the role model of love for humans everywhere–I feel absolutely honored to have been part of your wedding. I wish you the best, a million times over.

She can be found snuggling her beautiful baby girl, jamming out in the car with the windows rolled down like one of those really annoying people, and giggling for no good reason.

Mallary and Landon have a glow of kindness about them. I wish there were more words for nice, because that’s who they are times a zillion, and I would list all of those words and it couldn’t describe the extent of their niceness. They take people in, perfect strangers and favorite people alike, and see them. It’s a rare gift for two halves of a couple to possess.

They were married in the Bountiful temple on a cold but sunny day and now that these two are combined, for permanent, they cannot be stopped. I’m sure their cheeks ached from grinning, but it was a day that warranted it. Their love and their vivacity is contagious.

Mal and Landon, thank you for letting me be part of your wedding day. You two are amazing, on your own, and then together–just wow.

I wish you the best of the best in your adventures together. You will do incredible things, I’m sure of it.

Erica and Joe were married on a gorgeous fall day at Wheeler Farm, with oodles of friends and family there to share in their bliss. Joe laughed and talked with his guys before, like it was the most natural thing in the world to be marrying Erica on that day.

Erica rushed up the stairs (things were running late, as they sometimes can at a wedding, you know…) and her girls reassured her that everything was going to be great.

And it was.

Their wedding was full of the tender loving centerpiece-making everything-styling care of Erica’s sister Candis, whom I adore for a million reasons. Erica and Joe, thank you for letting me be part of your special day. You are a wonderful pair and  you exude all the happiness and love that should come with marriage. Potential marrieds, watch and learn.

As the reception was winding down, these two just started doing this. I smiled and Candis and said, “You guys are just the cutest.” And she got this little-kid grin, and do you know what she said? “Yeah, we love each other. We’re just really lucky.” That kind of love amazes me. (And it runs in the family!)
