%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism || 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

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism ||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!

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism || Elise & Russ both work for an airline – he a pilot and she in management. In fact they met while Russ was representing the labor union…across the negotiating table from each other. I was going to say something here about politics making for strange bed-fellows but I totally restrained myself. Whew, that was close!

So where do two Phoenix-based jet-setters that get free air-fare to anywhere in the world decide to have their wedding?

Beautiful Park City, of course!

Ryan and I had the privilege of shooting this great couple a few weeks ago. Here’s part 1 – part 2 on Saturday.

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism ||The Wedding Reception for Nick and Whitnee’s Ultimate Utah Wedding was just spectacular. All of the generous vendors who came together for this event gave 110%. As the sun set on the city, the view of downtown Salt Lake and the Great Salt Lake was a beautiful treat for Nick and Whitnee’s guests to take in. The Tower is one of the only places in the Salt Lake Valley where such a view can be enjoyed. Guests were served a number of mouth watering hors d’oeuvres, delightful gelato, and refreshing signature mocktails, compliments of Culinary Crafts. Scene Makers set the stage with an illuminated dance floor, red, black and white lounge furniture and gorgeous seasonal red floral designs. I loved the wintery trees and white floral balls dangling from the backdrop behind the head table. Nick and Whitnee’s red, black and white wedding cake was provided by Ambrosia. Durvin from Laughing Gravy kept the evening rolling from the reception line into the traditions of cake cutting, first dance, and the bouquet and garter toss. The party was really going when Swoop, the University of Utah Mascott dropped by for a little performance. Nick and Whitnee were surrounded by friends and family as they danced into the night. When it came time for the two to depart, they were driven away into the night in a handsome vintage Rolls Royce provided by Something Vintage, Something Blue.

Ryan and I had so much fun working with Nick and Whitnee. We would like to thank them and all of the people who voted for ZumaPhoto to be part of their Ultimate Utah Wedding. Nick and Whitnee, you two are Rock Stars!

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism ||Nick and Whitnee, the couple chosen for the Ultimate Utah Wedding giveaway are finally married! It was a gorgeous February day with the warm sun peeking through the cool clouds. Nick and Whitnee were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple surrounded by family and loved ones. The couple was just glowing as they exited the temple to be greeted by everyone who came down for the ceremony. After taking the standard family and group portraits on the stairs of the temple, Ryan and I were able to take the two around the temple grounds for some personal time and some personal photos. They were so excited to be married, they couldn’t stop looking at each other. Just so, so, so cute! Whitnee’s exquisite gown is a Maggie Soterro original and her lovely boquet was created by Scene Makers. Nick’s Tux comes from Jim’s Formal Wear. When we were finished with photos, Nick and Whitnee were whisked away in a vintage Rolls Royce provided by Something Vintage Something Blue.

Here are the images from the first half of the day at the Temple. Check back soon for the reception images at The Tower at Rice Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah.

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism || 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 wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism ||

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism || 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!

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism || 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.  ;)

%utah wedding photographer %wedding photojournalism ||UPDATE: We’ve been re-published on Utah Bride & Groom’s site.
I don’t think I’ve ever been inundated with so many questions about when a wedding post would going up as I have about Allison & Drew’s! Ever since I posted their engagement session (with special guest, Gracie), I’ve been getting it at every turn – email, phone calls, Facebook, carrier pigeon – all wanting to know when we might see this amazing couple’s wedding day. Well, never let it be said that I don’t cave into peer pressure. Be warned though – this is easily the longest post we’ve ever done (you might want to grab a snack). So without further ado I give you Allison & Drew (and yes, Gracie) at The Canyon Resort’s mountain-top Red Pine Lodge…one of my favorite places to shoot!
