Last weekend I had the opportunity to reconnect with a few of my past brides (and maybe future too!) to shoot some images for the hair & makeup portfolios of Brennan & Tia. It’s so fun to see fresh talent in the wedding industry. I wish them both the best of luck.

First up I shot two models for Brennan. To see more from her shoot click HERE. To visit her website go HERE.

Then later that day after some crazy weather, I met up with Tia and her crew, including my past bride Makel who is one incredible dancer!! To see more from Tia’s shoot click HERE. To view her website go HERE.

So this was supposed to be a winter shoot in Park City showing off Utah’s epic snow. Then we switched locations. And then it never snowed. Yes. It’s January in Utah. So of course it rained, right?! Love it when everything is so muddy your model can’t leave her spot. That’s okay. I’m a wedding photographer. I must adapt. Watch and see.

Yes. When you light rain with a flash it’s almost snow. But not quite.






We weren’t quite feelin’ the veil. Bring in the scarf.















Okay. We’ve got the hair & makeup shots. Wanna sit down?









Okay. So maybe this location isn’t worth singing in the rain for.



As I’m trying to compose this just right she keeps moving…because she’s comletely frozen and shivering.



And we’re done…

…but

since we’re all together. Let’s play with lights. Anybody have a tall ceiling?

Yes. This will do nicely.



Loving the hair. Refined to match.






Can you do something Vogue-ish?


















One pose, lit from two different sides. Interesting.












Now back to that pretty face.






Yes. Let’s lie on the floor.









And she’s done




Not quite what we planned. But that’s what we get for planning. Adaptability. It does a wedding good.

Get the gown at Avenia Bridal. Get done up by Versa Artistry. Maybe reconsider getting married in January…

I admit 100%, I’m in it for the bride. Her dress, her flowers. The radiant glow. Do you blame me?

Check out how flash changes the shot. Don’t know which version I like better…

I just thought you might like these, from one mom to another. How beautiful is your daughter?!?

Still on New York time, I’m up early and already culling through this weekend’s wedding on Long Island. Can you blame me? How gorgeous is Katie and her Priscilla of Boston wrapped in her mother’s veil…
