Cranberry Summer Wedding | Jessica & Zach

This romantic cranberry summer wedding touched me in a way I will never forget. It made me slow down and pay attention to every detail. It’s one that has forever changed my career. It made me slow down and make sure I was capturing the emotion. I had one of my good friends Tanner come down to Salt Lake and shoot it with me because I wanted to freeze every moment for this couple. I’m so glad that Tanner came. He helped capture things I couldn’t see while I was leading the family portraits and trying to be as efficient as possible. 

At the first look Jessica’s mom told me that her dad has a brain tumor so they really just wanted to capture Jessica and her dad throughout the day. I was just so taken aback that they chose me to capture such a tender day for them. Every time Andy, Jessica’s dad, thanked me for being there I just wanted to so NO NO Thank you!! I will forever remember this wedding. 

Every detail was thought out. The romantic cranberry colored roses. The candles that lined the reception hall. The entire day was just full of smiles and laughter. After we took the big group portraits a lot people stuck around for the pictures with the immediate family.

I was surprised to see so many people stay when they could have left. It was a warm day, but that didn’t make anyone grumpy. I couldn’t believe how loving every single guest was. I hope Jessica and Zach can always remember what a happy day it was.

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs Hawkes!!!
