Downtown Salt Lake City Engagements | Leah + Dean | ZumaPhoto

Friday, June 4th, 2010

E-162.jpg Here are a few of my favorites from Leah and Dean’s engagement session we had downtown Salt Lake City. Their wedding reception will be held in a renovated warehouse type building in Evanston Wyoming, so the urban landscape of downtown was perfect for their engagements. Thanks Leah and Dean! I hada great time and I can’t wait for the Bridals and the Wedding day!

Salt Lake Engagement Session | Noelle & Gharzai

Monday, May 24th, 2010

salt lake city engagement thumb Salt Lake Engagement Session | Noelle & GharzaiOh man, I have REALLY been a blogging slacker the last couple of months! I’m starting off a big push to catch up on sessions with this hella-fun session I shot with Noelle and Gharzai.

Noelle and Garzai are both very stylish people. In fact they both work – and met – at a certain famous swanky department store.

Because their work environment has been such an important backdrop to their relationship, they thought it would be fun to see if they could use it for their engagement session.

The asked and management said yes!

From there, a story just naturally unfolded…

Spring Engagements | Becky and Ben

Monday, April 12th, 2010

thumb Spring Engagements | Becky and Ben When Becky and Ben suggested we take photos on the her family farm and include her vintage Mustang and a friend’s custom hotrod, I was thrilled. The Mustang is Becky’s car that’s she’s spent several years restoring, and she’s done a fantastic job.

We had a blast roaming around the farm laughing as we took photos. The spring sky cooperated and provided beautiful light on the rustic setting making for a perfect photo day.

U of U Engagements | Peggy and Dustin

Monday, March 15th, 2010

thumb U of U Engagements | Peggy and Dustin   The day of Peggy and Dustin’s engagement shoot turned out to be bitter-cold day and they spent the entire time cuddled together to stay warm. We decided a University of Utah theme would be great since they are both big fans and graduates of the fine university (GO UTES).

Wandering about campus taking all kinds of great photos was fun, and I somehow called Dustin by the wrong name. Good thing Dustin has a sense of humor because the fun began when every time he was addressed he received a new and different name. “Larry, look here and smile,” or “Harold, smile.” Anyway, It was a fun day and we survived the cold, but I’m convinced they would have cuddled anyway regardless the weather.

Sundance Winter Wedding Album | McCall & Ryan

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

sundance_wedding_thumb.jpg Well since we’re stuck here in winter for a few more weeks we might as well celebrate it. I can’t think of a better way than to share this gorgeous album from McCall & Ryan’s December sealing the Salt Lake Temple that culminated in a stunning winter reception at Sundance Resort!

McCall had a lot of images to pare it down from: we did an engagement session, a bridal AND groomal session, the temple sealing and the reception. The only thing to do was go BIG! So here we have a 12×16 inch, 100-side beauty dolled up in McCall’s own inspired combination of gold ostrich and copper metallic leathers. As beautiful as it looks here, this album really needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Its positively decadent! :D

Winter Engagement | Pete and Mandy | ZumaPhoto

thumb103 Winter Engagement | Pete and Mandy | ZumaPhoto

Here are a few favorite photos from Mandy and Pete’s winter engagement session. I must say, the morning we took these photos it was frigid, but the sunshine did provide some warmth (and really awesome shadows). We roamed downtown Salt Lake looking for cool (pun intended) spots to take photographs and found all sorts of great places including a purple wall that matches their wedding colors, yay us!

I’m glad they were willing to brave the weather, it made for great photos!

Winter Engagements | Julianne + Weston | ZumaPhoto

Friday, January 29th, 2010

utah-wedding-photographer-engagement-portraits-0326.jpgJulianne and Weston will be getting married in Salt Lake City Temple this February. So we have been venturing out into the crisp cold weather for their engagement and groomal sessions. We had such a great engagement shoot on this chilly winter day. Even in January, Utah can be such a beautiful setting for a handsome couple to take their portraits.

We started at the base of the little cottonwood canyon on the grounds of La Caille. It was an unplanned stop on our way up the canyon, so I want to thank the ladies at La Caille for letting us stop by for a few shots. We sensed a storm rolling in so we hurried up the canyon’s winding road trying to beat the snowfall. It worked for a little while. We were able to play with Tahoe, Julianne’s gorgeous golden retriever. He had so much fun romping in the snow. He liked to jump in the air and catch snowballs in his mouth! Then heading up even further, the snow really began to blow! I just love how the snowflakes look frozen in motion against their dark coats. As cold as it was, the photos are so worth it! When the cold was just too much to bare anymore, we headed back down to the valley to find someplace where the snow wasn’t quickly falling. We ended up in our studio neighborhood, Sugar House where we had a fun time with a big red chair in a cool alley.

Thanks Julianne and Weston! I loved how these turned out! And your wedding is next week! Can’t wait! L, Logan

Mountain Meadow Fun – Heather & Kyle | ZumaPhoto

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

park city wedding thumb Mountain Meadow Fun   Heather & Kyle | ZumaPhotoWe’ve got a number of really fun weddings queued up to share with you but first…

As the weather has started to turn colder here in Utah, I thought I’d put up something from back when things were a bit warmer. Heather and Kyle live in California, but Heather’s family owns a simply stunning vacation home in the foothills of Park City. A large number of their holidays are spent here in Utah and they definitely have the mountain life in their blood.

So we decided to use the Kimball valley of Park City as our backdrop for these two and I am still in love with the colors that we were able to find. Come join us!

Puppy Love – Allison + Drew + Gracie | ZumaPhoto

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

thumb3 Puppy Love   Allison + Drew + Gracie | ZumaPhoto I just shot Allison & Drew’s phenomenal wedding this past Saturday, and as I was starting to think about bloggin’ it, I realized that you all really needed the same introduction to this crazy-in-love couple that I had a little while back – their engagement session.

I feel that the perfect engagement session isn’t just about making a couple look cool, its about revealing something about who they are. Engagement sessions generally include just two people – namely the ones gettin’ hitched – and I’m always trying to capture images that speak about their relationship. But sometimes in this big complicated world a wedding is actually about families uniting, and in those cases it really is a marriage of more than two people. In such situations I find it only fitting that all of the characters of the love story are included. Such was the case with Allison and Drew, because the other member of their family is…

Tiffanee & Zach's Engagements | ZumaPhoto

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

E-094small.jpg Zach and Tiffanee are serious bicycle enthusiasts. So serious in fact that they peddled their road bikes across the entire state of Iowa! This will explain all of the bike shots. We had so much fun on this shoot. I got a good workout running alongside the two of them as they road up and down city creek canyon. I love mixing it up with some action and playful fun and these two were a blast!

After the bicycle shoot we went up to Red Butte Gardens for a little different type of nature. The flowers and plants and trees offer so much color and texture. It was perfect for a natural shoot with some formal elements. Thank you Tiffanee and Zach! I can’t wait to post your wedding photos!!!

Tara & Jared’s Engagements | ZumaPhoto

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

E_244small.jpgI am so excited to post Tara and Jared’s wedding images, but I had better start at the beginning right? Living in Texas, the couple met in dental school which would explain both of their gleaming pearly white smiles. They chose Salt Lake City as a wonderful midpoint between the two families to celebrate a destination wedding. Tara’s family is from Texas and Jared’s is from Idaho.
