Hawaii Portraits...

This past week I've been in Hawaii shooting a wedding. It was my first time out there and I felt like I was in heaven! I loved every part of the trip. At first I was certain that it was some place that I could live, but I think that it's a good thing I don't. Aside from the fact that I think I would be pretty content setting up a snow-cone shack on the side of the beach somewhere to make a living, never wearing make-up again, and spending eternity in my Chacos, I think that it's a great thing that there are some places where you can visit that just seem magical. It makes me think that, if I did live there, would the magic ever wear off? Would I stop seeing how beautiful my surroundings were and get caught up just like I do in the everyday monotony of living? I don't know....just food for thought. The moral of that story is that I feel grateful for beautiful, magical places that provide an escape.

Stephanie and James Wedding

Stephanie got married at the LDS temple in Laie on Oahu. There were lots of great places to take pictures. It was terribly hot, but she and James were real troopers. She looked absolutely beautiful! Here are just a few of my favorites...

Jenilee's Bridals

This past weekend was a photo shoot extravaganza. It was one photo session after the next. Which really isn't too surprising considering it's wedding season. We shot Jenilee's bridals downtown at Temple Square. I was glad to see that the flowers were still alive after this week's freak snowstorm. Jenilee was absolutely stunningly beautiful and is so fun to work with. She had her niece come to the photo session as well because she is going to be her flower girl.

One of my new favorites...

This image is from a wedding I shot this past weekend. It's so funny because I'm realizing more and more what a complete photo geek I am. I find myself almost giddy when I find a situation that has artistic potential. I guess that's when you realize that you really love what you do. It's so fantastic doing something that I absolutely love doing!!!
