diana's bridals

I love this girl!! We may have just met, but she's so much fun. Diana's cute sisters and mom came along for the bridal session, they were so helpful and so nice. Seriously, some of the nicest people in the world. Not to mention beautiful!! Huge thanks to my good friend Cindy who introduced us!

Diana's dress was absolutely gorgeous. She wore the cutest orange shoes ever. Knowing orange was their color, and that the weather was going to get crummy, I scouted out an orange umbrella. We did have a few very cool outdoor locations in mind, but because of the freezing cold weather, we decided to start indoors downtown SLC. We had a some adventures going from inside to outside, and I tried to get creative with our dark wintry conditions...

We started at the beautiful Joseph Smith Memorial Building...

...overall, I think it was worth it! Even on the worst days, Salt Lake City is always beautiful. Diana's wedding is downtown in less than three weeks, I can't wait.

It's starting to look like eating candy is the only way I celebrate holidays. :) But aren't these the cutest m&m's you've ever seen? I love them!

I will miss being surrounded my all of my family and cousins tomorrow like I was every Easter growing up, so this is for you guys! I miss you!

We're all aware of how meaningful this holiday really is. My dad posted the most wonderful link on his blog, so I thought I would share it too-

"The Bread of Life" video specifically celebrates the Resurrection. Each video is worth watching, especially this weekend!


I am so grateful for our Savior. Happy Easter!!!

Jen & John's Wedding- 3.14.08

So after a few teasers, here's the real deal! Hopefully you like looking at pictures all day long, because I happen to have a bagillion for you. My amazing neighbors referred Jen and John to me, and once we finally met up for a consultation, I about went nuts realizing this was the Jen that lived in the same apartment complex I did my sophomore year of college! It was sweet. So all of you Riviera peeps out there might recognize this very happy, stunning bride! Despite the very chilly, windy, and unpredictable weather, spending the beautiful morning at the Mount Timpanogos Temple and the evening at Sun River Gardens with them was awesome. The gardens, the families, the caterers, the guests...everyone was so nice. I have to thank all you guys a million.
