%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism ||This was run on the BrideAccess TV show an Robin was kind enough to send me a link to share. So this was at the end of the Bridal Showcase Bridal Fair in January. Zen had kept me up most of the previous night and I had been at the show for some 10 hours by this point and I was so tired that I literally had no recollection of what I had said until I saw this.  I’m just relieved that I didn’t call for the overthrow of the government or confess to any murders or anything.

Guess those secrets are still safe…..DOH!!

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism ||Remember Marisa & Mickey’s stop-motion ‘save the date’ video that we did for them back in September?

Well…plans have changed.

So we did a NEW version of the video to bring it up to date.

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism || Stephanie & Kyle are mad, hardcore ski Gods. They coach alpine racers around the country including for the U.S. ski team and they just don’t ever get it out of their system: they even spent their ‘Honeymoon’ in the mountains of Chile teaching kids how to fall down a mountain with style! So when they decided to get hitched everyone pretty much assumed that it would take place on some mountain top somewhere. Instead, they decided to head back to Kyle’s home state to Vermont’s GORGEOUS Lake Champlain – no snow this time.

Here are a couple of video montages to help share the experience.

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism || Chemistry.

That’s what I’m looking for in an engagement session, and Michelle & Lance had it in spades.

No fancy chatting on this one, just a quick share of a few of my favorites from the session.

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism || “Ooooooooooooooooo!”

That, or some variation thereof, is what nearly everybody who took a gander at this album for the few days it was in or studio said when they saw it. I’m particularly stoked by it because I pushed hard for this combination of new leathers in the cover and it turned out even better than I had imagined it would. The cover is a filigree-stamped split-grain leather with a quilted leather spine. Nom, nom nom!

This album was a long time in the making – the wedding was over 2 years ago and in fact was one of the very first that Logan and I shot together. But it just goes to show that its never too late to have us put the images from your wedding into the best possible setting. Congratulations Emily & Chris!

Wedding: Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church
Reception: Little America Hotel
Album: 100-sides, 11×14, 100% fabulous.

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism || CONGRATUALTIONS to Noelle & Garzhai who done tied the knot this weekend at the Grand Hall at The Gateway.

That means that I’m finally free to share Noelle’s high-concept (well….middling-concept, anyway) bridals!

We lugged ourselves, some furniture, and one 1950′s-era vacuum cleaner out to the Bonneville Salt Flats for a bit of high-key fun in the desert.

I really enjoyed this session, Noelle. Big thanks to you, your mom AND your sister for putting up with my ‘creative conceits’. %utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism ||

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism ||Occasionally we’ll have a client ask for something different.  Something out of the box.

Marisa & Mickey had seen a few stop-motion videos used as ‘Save the Date’ notes floating around the web and asked if we could do that for them.  Now I havn’t played with stop-motion since high school (I seem to remember it involved a lot of dismembered clay people), but I’m not one to avoid a challenge.

Someone (probably a thief) once said that good artists borrow while great artists steal – so, M & M took some ideas they found out there, added a few touches of their own and asked us to make it happen.

Please to enjoy!
