What’s the special?

Black Tie sessions in Sept/Oct/Nov are $550 which includes the session fee AND the digital files, PLUS any artist edits I do for the blog. I’ll also include instructions on where to print your images so they’ll still be professional quality, but you won’t have to order them through me. In fact, I won’t even be selling prints this Fall. It’s too much back and forth and I don’t have the time. So this way, we both win. You get access to incredible images, printed anyway/where you like, and I still get to do what I love right up until this baby is born!

What’s a Black Tie session?

Well the results look something like this…

Or in plain English, simply put, a bride and groom or husband and wife all dressed up! So if you wanted me to shoot your wedding this Fall, I still can’t, but I CAN shoot a Black Tie session for you. These will be your favorite images from your wedding. No stress, perfect locations, and you can have them on display at your wedding which I guarantee your guests will rave about. Or, if you have an anniversary coming up, need a reason to see your man in a tux, etc. these are also awesome for married couples, especially if your wedding photos aren’t quite up to par.

We can shoot these sessions where ever you’d like (though I do love the mountains as you’ve seen above), including on the temple grounds (this would be especially great for those of you having a temple wedding since I can’t be there on your wedding day).

Email liz@etfphotography.com or call me at 435.279.7991 to book your Black Tie session. A $250 deposit is required to reserve your session. The remaining $300 is due the day of your session. I am currently booking these for Sept/Oct only. I will update this as my pregnancy progesses and hope to be able to schedule at least a couple November session as well.

Of course it would be sunny all day and then start raining right when we arrived at our location…but did that keep these two down? NO. Amanda was 100% willing to do whatever it took to get the shots we wanted, including hiking through the rain and mud. Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! And I’ll have you know, no dresses were ruined during this shoot. But memories were definitely made. Starting with the series below when her veil blew right into the water. Oops! If you want to know the secret to amazing wedding images, it starts with couples who trust their photographer completely. And of course…show up dressed like this. Thanks Lynette for the gorgeous gown. And Amanda, leave me a comment with a shoutout to your florist because this bouquet was stunning Did I ever mention how much I love shooting you two?

UPDATE: The flowers were done by Kelli at Blooms and Blossoms. Awesome work Kelli!

Look for the fallen tree… ya, way up there… that’s where we went next

The crew that made it happen…

Suzanne has a friend with the most amazing property up in Kamas, so we headed to the mountains and their home for this beautiful session. I’m in LOVE with Suzanne’s custom designed gown and her bouquet rocked…plus her groom wasn’t too shabby himself ;( I can’t wait for these two’s August wedding and backyard reception. I have a feeling it’s going to be down right gorgeous.

Oh, and on a informative sidenote, Suzanne’s hair and makeup were done by the fabulous Versa Artistry. If you’re wanting to look your absolutely best, they’ve got you covered!

I finished off my last busy week of shooting for the year… at least for now. I only have a few session/weddings left and it feels so great! But at the same time, I’m sure I’m going to cave and book a few more, possibly even have a special because I doubt I can really quit cold turkey. However, I won’t be doing three session a week like I have a few times this year. I know some people can shoot that much, but it drains me. Luckily tonight I finished off a wonderful week with a bang. There was nothing draining about shooting these two in beautiful Kamas/Marion. I am so very excited for this wedding. Can you blame me?

These two are getting married today! They might be right behind these doors as you read this. We took these shots at the temple when we did their bridal session because of wedding day scheduling. And I thought it would be fun to save them for today.

Last I heard, they have a lovely wedding planned, some of it even including shots taken in Deweyville, so I’m stoked! Can’t wait to report back to you. Happy wedding day Tyson & Makel…

Okay, so I know I’m posting these before a few others shoots I have on the burner…but I’m in LOVE with them and this wedding is coming up super fast, so I had to get them edited quickly. And so, here we are. I love shooting these two, and when I saw Makel in her dress I about died. GORGEOUS. Talk about inspiring me to want to rock this session. I hope you’ll agree there are some definite winners here. And this is only half the session…

Ya. That was a lot of pictures. But I simply couldn’t choose

Wondering where to get your own gorgeous gown… at The Gallery by Lynette of course! It’s a favorite among my brides.

Good thing I planted my garden on Saturday… just in time for today’s SNOW fall. Oh how I love Utah springs. So I thought this session would be the perfect share for today. It was spring, not too long ago. And oh how beautiful it was! These two are now happily married and off in Hawaii. Am I jealous? Absolutely!

Today Prince Charming saw Snow White dressed as a bride for the first time. Friday they officially start their happily ever after.

And what a better way to kick off their wedding week than to have Heather & Landon’s engagement session featured on the Utah Bride and Groom Magazine blog. Check it out HERE.

I usually get to meet with my clients in person before we ever shoot which allows me to get a good taste of their personality/style. But Adrianna and Tony booked me long distance and all we had was email. Lucky for me, they’re the kind of couple you warm up to instantly. They were married a few weeks before we shot these, so everyone was relaxed and chill. I loved how comfortable and at ease they were together. It made my job a piece of cake. My favorite shots are at the end by the gold door. I LOVE the light streaming into those. They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside from the sunshine What a happy day!

Well I have to admit it’s been a LONG week with a sick two-year-old. BUT, everyone is back to healthy and I’ve had such a beautiful day enjoying the sunshine! We worked out in the yard as a family and then I skipped away with these two for a bit of fun. More to come
