Ashley's Bridals













No, this is not that one girl from the The Princess Diaries. Yes, she is taken and very much getting married on July 19th up at Mill Creek Inn. You can see this whole (AMAZING) session and order prints HERE.

Brion Hopkins





Much thanks to Brion Hopkins who came out to Curacao to assist me with the wedding. His Spanish opened up photo ops that would not have been possible without it. He is a GENIUS when it comes to lighting. Which would pretty much go without saying since he graduated from the best photography school in the nation, Brooks Institute. See you Aug in Malibu.

***UPDATE***

Brion just sent me some photos of which you get to see THIS.

The Gatsby's


I had the pleasure to work with these guys on my May 31st wedding up in Park City (post coming soon). If you have not heard the Gastby's music before, why not try say,

THIS
OR THIS

Move over cheezy wedding band, hello hip wedding band for the masses (even the parents/grandparents love it!).

Looking for some great lively music for your wedding? Check out the Gatsby's.

Did I mention they always come wearing the best polyester ties found in the Beehive State?

Yessssssssss.









On Lulu's birthday we had a big bash over at my wife Callie's sister's place in Orem. 2 of my favorite people in the world, Dann and Jenn, came as well. And they gave Lulu the best birthday gift EVER. Sept 13th 2008. They are taking the plunge and I'm going to be a part of it (photographically speaking that is). These picts were taken literally 10 minutes after they told us they were together. I had my camera there so we did a QUICK (literally 2 minute) impromptu "engagement session". Congrats Jenn & Dann. Sept is going to be rockin.

11910 Sackston Ridge Dr

How did I spend my summers growing up? Actually, it is how I spent almost all my time after school. I planted every tree you see on this property with my brother and dad. Oddly enough, I've lost all my green thumbs. Somebody want to buy the home I grew up in? Apparently, you can get it HERE. Though I have to admit, when we lived there, it looked way cooler than the picts online. My room was image 23. I think my dad would be rolling in his grave if he saw what they did to the inside of that house. The basement is still the same. Though it does not look like there are kids with pegged acid wash jeans roller-blading to the B-52's Love Shack down there. Either way, this home he built was definitely a big change from where my dad grew up.

Vegas baby...



I getting on a plane to go shoot Savannah's wedding in Vegas. We've never met. So, if there is any confusion, I'll be the guy with the cameras and I'll assume you'll be the gal in the wedding dress.

Mmmm...the Mandalay Bay buffet...

Leo, you are so missing out.

And this shot is from a wedding last year in Vegas...

What happens when your son takes your Holga and completely submerges it in the pool?





Awesomeness, thats what happens. And PS. the post from Monday? Totally from my Holga after Isaac grabbed the camera and jumped in the pool. Thank you Randy Smith.
