We took Leah and Dean’s Groomal portraits at the Utah state capitol and at the Salt Lake City library. It was a gorgeous spring morning and Leah was just stunning in her bridal gown from Alta Moda. As we were shooting at the capitol, a tour bus full of Japanese tourists stopped and came in for a tour of the historic building. The moment Leah stepped into the spotlight beaming down from the rotunda, every tourist’s camera was lifted up and 50 flashes began twinkling as they all snapped some shots of the beautiful bride on the marble stairs. It was a pretty funny moment for all of us. Thanks Dean and Leah! You two are so so great!

Cucina Nassi Wedding | Julianne + Weston | ZumaPhoto
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
This wedding’s blog post is way over due. I’m sorry to everybody who has anxiously been waiting to see the reception of Julianne and Weston. They were married at the Salt Lake Temple and held their wedding reception at Cucina Nassi, the new Italian style banquet hall run by Walter Nassi, operator of Cucina Toscana in downtown Salt Lake City. It is such a luxurious hall without being over the top or cheesy. Colby from C3 design and Sean from Sax Romney floral design created an amazing setting for Julianne and Weston to enjoy a hundred different appetizers, what seemed to be a 20 course sit down dinner, and a decadent dessert buffet. It was a beautiful relaxing evening with Julianne and Weston’s friends, family and food… what more could you ask for? Thank you Julianne and Weston for inviting me to share your special wedding day. I had so much fun with you two on the engagement and bridal sessions and your wedding day was just glorious. L, Logan

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010
These two lovebirds were married back in February. We were crossing our fingers for a snowstorm on her wedding day (Julianne really wanted snow) but there was no snow around. Still, it was a gorgeous day for a winter wedding. And the lovely weather allowed us to spend more time outside around temple square. Here are some of my favorites from the first half of their day. Stay tuned for the the images from their reception!

Sundance Winter Wedding Album | McCall & Ryan
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Well since we’re stuck here in winter for a few more weeks we might as well celebrate it. I can’t think of a better way than to share this gorgeous album from McCall & Ryan’s December sealing the Salt Lake Temple that culminated in a stunning winter reception at Sundance Resort!
McCall had a lot of images to pare it down from: we did an engagement session, a bridal AND groomal session, the temple sealing and the reception. The only thing to do was go BIG! So here we have a 12×16 inch, 100-side beauty dolled up in McCall’s own inspired combination of gold ostrich and copper metallic leathers. As beautiful as it looks here, this album really needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Its positively decadent!

Utah State Capitol Groomal Session | Julianne & Weston | ZumaPhoto
Friday, February 5th, 2010
I had the hardest time picking out only a “few” of my favorites from Julianne and Weston’s groomal session. Julianne was so beautiful in her custom gown from Alta Moda bridal. And her bouquet from Sax Romney was so unique and fit Julianne’s tastes perfectly. While we were at the Capitol, two different women who worked there approached Julianne to tell her that of all the lovely brides who come to the Capitol to have their portraits taken, she was the most stunning of them all, and they see a lot of brides come through. I just love knowing I have the most gorgeous bride of all! Julianne has so much attention to detail and has such style. Weston wasn’t too shabby either. What a handsome couple! Thanks you tow! L, Logan
The two were married just yesterday and are now off to warm sunny beaches for their honeymoon. It was a beautiful wedding on a lovely February day. Visit our blog again to see their wedding-day blog post, coming soon!

La Caille Wedding Album | Maggie & Ben | ZumaPhoto
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
Its been a while since we shared an album, but you can expect many more coming up because we produced more albums in this past year than we ever have before! Today’s star is this gorgeous 100-side, copper metallic leather and pink suede jaw-dropper that we produced for Maggie & Ben.
Maggie & Ben were married one beautiful sunny June day at the world famous La Caille, and we took a little extra time in designing the album to make sure that it really captured the love and emotion that were palpable to everyone there.
Please to enjoy!

Featured in Utah Bride & Groom | Kim & Sean
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
We are again honored to have a six-page feature in the hot-off-the-presses 2010 edition of Utah Bride & Groom Magazine !
This time around its Kim and Sean’s spectacular Fourth o’ July a-hitchin’ at Johnson Mill. Kym wore an Atelier Aimee gown from Alta Moda Bridal with a very cool handmade purse by Leigh-Ann Kline. Flowers were by Basket of Gold, music was by Kim’s son Adrian’s band (they rocked it), and the fireworks were provided courtesy of the Heber City Chamber of Commerce (though admittedly they probably had another occasion in mind…).
Go get your copy of Utah Bride & Groom, wherever better local bridal magazines are sold. ;)

Bridals Outback of Beyond | ZumaPhoto
Sunday, September 20th, 2009
Dana hails from Down Under (Australia, not Provo) and though she talks funny, she’s also beautiful and just a heap ‘o fun, to boot.
When I saw her dress from Alta Moda Bridal I knew that I wanted to do something dramatic with her bridals and I thought that a bit of desert would suit her heritage and contrast nicely. She was totally down with a bit of adventure, so an hour and a half of driving later, we found ourselves with near perfect sky conditions. We had thought that the trip would only take 30 minutes, however, so by the time we got there, I had to work fast to make the most of the 20 minutes of light that I had remaining! It was probably not my most relaxed bridal session, but its one of my favorites so far this year.

Tara & Jared’s Wedding La Caille | ZumaPhoto
Saturday, September 5th, 2009
La Caille is such a beautiful location for a wedding celebration and I think it fit Tara and Jared’s style perfectly. The storm continued the rest of the day but again, the clouds and rain seemed to dissipate just long enough for us to get some great shots. The pavillion at La Caille is another great option for an indoor wedding with an outdoor feel. It really brings the outdoors – in.
Tara and Jared had such wonderful attitudes about the weather. I love it when couple just go with the flow. We can’t change the weather so we may as well accept it and work with it. This goes for the overall wedding day and in my case for the photography. I really try to encourage couples to not be afraid of the rain. It makes everything wet and shiny and glowy and gorgeous! If we can all brave the weather, I promise the photos will be worth it! We actually only had a few drops fall on us during our time at the temple and at la caille, but they were braving it with the chance that the weather could get worse.

Tara & Jared's Wedding SLC Temple | ZumaPhoto
Friday, September 4th, 2009
It was really stormy on Jared and Tara’s wedding day, but the clouds always seemed to part at the right times just enough to give us some gorgeous light. They held the rain for us too! Thank you Utah weather! Tara and Jared were so excited to be married and just so tender with each other. Jared just couldn’t take his eyes off his lovely bride.

Tara's Bridals | ZumaPhoto
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Tara was so photogenic in her engagements; a real knock-out! I just couldn’t wait to do her bridals. When she arrived to the Capitol Building, she nearly took my breath away. I can’t imagine how Jared will reacted when he saw his bride for the first time. Tara was such an elegant bride and seemed so calm and comfortable for our shoot. Her look is absolutley timeless. Some of the photographs we got could have been taken fifty years ago.
The ladies at Alta Moda helped her find her perfect dress, a gorgeous Anne Barge. I think it is so wonderful that designers and the talented crew at Alta Moda can create such beautiful alterations to dresses in order for them to be temple ready. You wouldn’t even know that the cute little bolero wasn’t an original piece of the dress.
Also contributing to Tara’s look were the fine ladies of Enizio. They did her hair and makeup for both her bridals and her wedding day. They are so skilled at creating fresh and clean looks and styles that are dramatic but never over the top. They nail it every time! Good work girls!
Tara, you were an Angel to photograph. Thank you so much for making my job so easy!

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
When the manager of your city’s premier couture bridal shop selects you as her wedding photographer, the first thing you feel is flattered. I mean, this is someone who has daily first-hand experience with the finest that the wedding industry has to offer. So for her to have picked me out of the great pool of local talent was quite an honor.
The second thing you experience is a sense of pressure as you realize “Holy crap! This is a someone who has daily first-hand experience with the finest the wedding industry has to offer!! We’ve got to come up with something new and amazing that she’s never seen before!! Something….dramatic….” So, with a little help from the weather, that’s what we set out to do.
