A Mountain Engagement Session in Island Park This one is extra special to me because Sierra is my niece! Jared and Sierra met at work and became fast friends. They both liked each other, but Jared didn’t make the first move until Sierra put in her two weeks’ notice. Apparently, that was the motivation he […]

Two Years of Anniversary Photos These two are extra special to me because they’re my cousins! I photographed their engagement session, and we’ve kept the tradition going every year since. Now they’re celebrating two years of marriage, which means I get to watch their story grow one photo session at a time. There is something […]

There is something so beautiful about engagement photos in the rolling hills of Wellsville. The open landscape, soft light, and mountain views create a simple backdrop that keeps the focus right where it belongs: on the couple.

There is something so special about photographing a couple during the season between “we’re dating” and “we’re married.” Engagement photos get to capture the excitement, anticipation, and connection of two people who have just decided they’re building a life together.

Some engagement sessions feel like they were made for the location, and Anne and Eric’s Tony Grove engagement photos were exactly that. Anne hadn’t been back to Logan since 2008, but when she saw Tony Grove, she knew it would fit perfectly with the wildflower theme she had envisioned for their wedding. The timing couldn’t […]

There are some engagement sessions where everything just comes together effortlessly, and Jocelyn and Tyler’s session at the Ogden Botanical Garden was one of those. The two of them were absolutely adorable together, and every corner of the garden seemed to give us another beautiful backdrop. Between the lush greenery, flowers, winding paths, and soft […]

Some couples want a traditional engagement session. Others want their photos to feel completely, unmistakably like them. Elisabeth and Nate fell into the second category, and I loved it. They actually eloped in the mountains earlier that day, making their session at Maple Grove Hot Springs part of an entire day centered around their marriage […]

Some sessions feel like a warm fire in the middle of winter, and that’s exactly how I’d describe Garrett and Ash’s Snowbasin winter engagements. Their love is joyful, grounded, and deeply connected. Photographing this season of their story in the snow felt both peaceful and magical. Garrett is my nephew, so when he told me […]

Cami and Iman’s winter engagement photos at Jordan Pines were filled with exactly that kind of love, the kind that feels warm even in the middle of January. After getting engaged, these two originally […]
