WEDDING ADVICE
Set realistic goals; ours we're to actually get married and have a piece of cake, and everything else was just a bonus. Things WILL go wrong, but that isn't the point. The point is to enjoy the day with the love of your life and not to stress over what does and doesn't go as planned.

Utah Engagement Photographer - Alicia + Brandon

December 14th, 2009

I had a blast shooting Alicia and Brandon's engagement pictures on Saturday. We shot half of the session outside and the other half at the Utah State Capitol. It was cold but a lot of fun. I'll be shooting their wedding in on February 6th at Noah's. Enjoy.

I just love how Hillary and Derek's wedding album turned out. Hillary selected a beautiful brown floral leather that went perfect with their fall wedding.
