Victoria+Brian: Engaged!

05.17.10

It's been quite a while since we've last posted to say the least and well a TON has happened since then. But i guess we'll get into that some other day. This post is about our crazy-fun-and-happily-engaged couple Victoria and Brian.

Victoria and Brian are a super active couple that love to do everything outdoors...in other words they do everything Lauren and I think about doing except we revert to dining at our favorite local restaurant instead =) Needless to say, we definitely wanted to capture their fun loving/active nature in they're Engagement photos but while also mixing it up with a few "drop it like it's hot off the press" magazine style shots!

Victoria+Brian...I was THIS close to posting your crazy 5 foot jump/dive on Brian shot but I restrained myself =) haha Seriously, we definitely LOVED how these turned out and we hope we captured you two the way you both envisioned. You guys were super fun and we can't wait for your wedding! =)

This post shows how amazing you guys truly are. BEAUTIFUL! Here in southern Utah it's hard to find inspiration to develop my own brand but when I see how others do such I know I can bring myself above the over saturated market I am dealing with here. Thanks for being such inspirations! (to the bride and groom- Enjoy Your future together!)

After we shot Sheila and Jerry's esesh over at The Den a few months back, we knew we'd be in for a treat come wedding day. We usually would post the slideshow along with the premiere of their photos but that'll be Part 2 ;)

Let us just say, and I know we said this already before but, SHEILA, YOU LOOKED AMAZING IN YOUR DRESS!

To Sheila and Jerry...this is just part 1 of two posts for you two! =) The second will have your slideshow with even more images from your day. Once again, you guys rocked the house and we hope you guys love every image from your day as much as we do!

Haydn's 1st Halloween!!!

11.03.09

If you've been with us for a while, you know that any as much as we show our "work" (aka weddings etc.) on our blog, we always try to share Haydn's big life moments =) ....and in this case it was her first Halloween costume!! FYI...you can thank Lauren for this one. I wanted to make her a baby zombie but obviously, that didn't work out haha. Instead...for her first Halloween, she was Cleopatra =)

Here are two shots showing more detail of our costume...

Being the smart parents we are, we didn't bring cash so with what we scrounged up in our pockets we came up with a total of $8...just enough for some funnel cake and much needed H20...

Finally before we called it a day, we went to go see the cool hot air balloon. Was it awseome looking? Yes. Did we want to wait in a long line for it? No But was Haydn amazed? Yes she was...

Oh and just in case you were wondering why Haydn wasn't smiling in, oh umm, all the pictures...haha..it's because she just woke up....another smart move by us. =) Don't worry, we'll get it right eventually!

Erin + Justin: Married!

11.01.09

One of the coolest parts of being in our business is meeting the close friends/family of the Bride and Groom and sharing and experiencing the wedding day (or days in some cases) as it unfolds. This was definitely the case with Erin+Justin.

Real quick story about the day...
When we first met these two one of the things we talked about was shooting in Costco. Why? Well, it's a long standing tradition that during any of their friends weddings, they would all make their way to Costco and have a pizza! How cool is that?! Of course, once they said that, our minds went off the creative end and thought of ways to take that even further! =) Long story short, on their wedding day, not only did we they have a pizza, but with the OK from Assistant Warehouse Manager (thanks Glen!) we had basically free reign to shoot anywhere we wanted!! =) Oh yeah, and as you can tell from the group Costco pic below, the management team loved every minute of it!!!

----------------------------------------

So to Erin+Justin and to all your awesome friends/family, thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your awesome day AND your Costco tradition. You two brought the awesomeness, allowed us to share in it and its something we'll never forget! - John+Lauren

This is probably one of my all time favotire "dance" shots =)
