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.

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.

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 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!

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.
