Tom & Alex {Utah Wedding Photographer}

I love these people.  And I love even more that these two people are now married!!! 

That's right folks...meet Mr. & Mrs. Essig! 

They knew that today was going to be a whirlwind, so we met up a couple weeks ago and did their 'first look' session so that today wouldn't be so rushed and so that we could capture Tom's reaction to seeing Alex in her dress!  And can I just tell you...it was adorable.  Repeat...ADORABLE!  He was so sweet and couldn't stop smiling, hugging, and kissing his girl!  They are a perfect match!  Enjoy some of my favorites from their session and stay tuned! 

I'll be posting all about their wedding day coming up soon!

Tom & Alex {Utah Engagement Photographer}

So I am still playing catch up and this post is LONG overdue, but it's a good time to share since these two lovebirds will be tying the knot tomorrow! Ahh, I can hardly contain my excitement for them!  Alex contacted me last November and it's been a long time coming for this day to finally arrive.  I have loved getting to know Alex and Tom and truly feel so lucky to play such a special part in their big day.  These two met after they graduated from high school...Alex went to Logan High School and Tom went to Sky View.  They had a mutual friend who introduced them that summer at the Cache County Fair, and after that, the rest was history.  They quickly became inseparable best friends and fell head over heels for each other.  Their relationship is a cute one to observe.  They truly get each other and don't have eyes for anyone else. 

  

This session was an absolute blast!  We drove all around Cache Valley to get these shots, and the adventure it was!  Our rad blue Ford truck broke down on the hill and we had to push start it to get it going again...racing from one end of the valley to the other before the sunset...quick outfit changes...and lots of laughter in between...I don't think I could be more in love with this whole session.  Stay tuned for their formal session and wedding day posts coming up soon, but for now, enjoy these!

Walquist Family {Northern Utah Family Photographer}

It's been a long time since I last paid any attention to my poor blog here, but I'm back up and at it after enjoying my maternity leave after having our second little one.  I love being a mom and my two boys mean everything to me, and I am so grateful that with photography I can capture sweet photos of them growing up.  That is what I love about photography.  Capturing small moments in time that mean the most to me, and the most to you. I love that pictures truly do tell a story and can remind us of times past.  Life moves fast, and if we can capture a memory or a moment in our lives right now, we should. 

 

This is what we did with the Walquist family...with one child going to college, one moving to Califiornia, and two having growing families of their own, it was time to remember life as it is right now!  I grew up with this family and Robyn was, and is, one of my very best friends.  These people are the epitome of kindness and love.  Every time you are around them, you feel special.  I truly love this family and loved meeting up with Mike and Debbie to capture this time in their family's life as they continue to grow.
