Provo Canyon | Chelsie & Austin Engagements

I'm so excited that my husband's cousin is getting married! She brought Austin to Grandma Mathews in California  house over Thanksgiving where we got to meet him! He is so nice and I knew they'd be a good match! Chelsie's mom, Aunt Debbie asked me to take their family pictures while I was there and of course I was happy to. Austin came a long too and since he was there, I made him and Chelsie take some together. They might've been a little embarrassed with her parents there, but I bet they liked having them! 

I'm very happy that they decided to tie the knot! It was so fun to take their engagement pictures. It was also great chatting with them and getting to know them both better. They are so dang cute with each other. Austin made Chelsie laugh like crazy. I got so many cute candid ones of them just being themselves. Congrats you two! 

Big Springs Park, Provo Canyon | Kayli & Nathan Engagements

Kayli and Nathan are high school sweethearts. They are their first and only kiss too. And they are SO cute together! I'm so lucky I get to be their wedding photographer. We had a great time taking their engagement pictures. We went on a little hike to get an amazing view of the mountains. I'm glad they were up for it! They did a lot better than me walking up that steep hill. I am out of shape and was afraid I was going to slip! It was all worth it when we got to the top. We got some great pictures.

We got to the second spot just in time before it got completely dark. I felt bad though, I made them late for Kayli's birthday dinner. I have a problem of taking pictures too long. I hope they thought it was worth getting those few extra shots! 

I'm excited for July 8th to come!

South Fork Park, Provo Canyon | Jessie & Drake

I was so flattered when cute Sarah asked me to mentor her. She accompanied me to a formal session one time and I guess wanted to learn more from me. Wahoo! She is the sweetest! It has been a journey to find out my photography style and what I enjoy photographing the most. I still have my days of not being very confident, but after Sarah asked me, it boosted my confidence a lot. Thank you Sarah! 

My sweet friend Jessie and her husband Drake were so nice to model for us. Jessie is drop dead gorgeous! They were so fun to hang out with. And of course, they were the best models! I love how these pictures turned out!
