Salt Lake Temple, Red Butte Garden | Kiersten & James Wedding

Kiersten and James' wedding was one for the books! Their day started off at the Salt Lake Temple where it was wet, windy and off and on rainy. I was freaking out a little, but James and Kiersten weren't! They were just so happy to be married and to see family and friends. I loved how easy going they were! Kiersten's mom bought a ton of white umbrellas that helped out. It was very wet! Their friends are family are so nice and helpful that it made things go smooth. From the pictures, you probably can't even tell that it was rainy. After, we went and did more pictures around the temple. It got a little rainier, but we made due! I love how their pictures turned out there. They're just awesome and make every picture look good. 

For the reception that evening, the weather was gorgeous! They had it at Red Butte Gardens and holy cow did it look so pretty there! The purple wisteria coming off the gazebo thing made the perfect backdrop for all the family photos. What a relief it was to me that they had time to take more family pictures where I could actually get some good ones, not in the rain! Afterward, the videographer and I took James and Kiersten around the gardens. Everywhere was stunning and they are stunning! I can't say it enough, they are an amazing couple!

When the reception started, they greeted their guests for about an hour. The guests got to enjoy all the yummy desserts, fruits and cheeses that they had there. They also had delicious looking cupcakes that James' niece (who is 16) made. She also made the cake! After talking to their friends and family, James and Kiersten cut the cake. They chose to shove it in each other's face! They weren't too mean to each other. Then James danced with his mom and Kiersten danced with her dad. I like how they did their dances at the same time. They were so cute! Next James and Kiersten had their first dance. They were laughing, smiling and then just holding each other. It was so sweet! Kiersten threw her bouquet next. It went over the heads of the girls in the front and was caught by James' niece in the back of the crowd. She was very surprised! Then James fetched the garter. Haha, it's always entertaining to watch. After that they did a bubble send off! It was a very fun wedding to be a part of! 

Congratulations Kiersten and James!

Salt Lake Temple, UT | Rebekah & Jacob Wedding

Rebekah and Jacob got married on a beautiful spring day! These are some of my favorite things from their wedding:

- I loved their exit. They were both beaming, both so happy and in love! In fact we did the exit twice, because they were so good at it. Haha, really we just wanted to do it after things calmed down and so the videographer could get a good shot :)

- Rebekah's Wedding Dress! I love how it fit her and it was so flowy and simple. She looked gorgeous in it! And her hair was beautiful too! I'm glad it was an up do because it was a pretty windy day. 

- The bridesmaids dresses were so pretty! They all had matched bracelets too. They were seriously so helpful and so funny the whole day. We took some fun pictures by the ice cream truck because their dresses were the exact same color.

- The groomsmen were hilarious too. They came up with some fun picture poses that were pretty funny.

- We got to spend a lot of time with Rebekah and Jacob after all the wedding party and family pics were done. And by the time those were done, it seemed like all the grounds cleared out. It was so nice! They are both so photogenic! And, she wanted some more pictures at an orchard before their reception. Well, all of us got it bad traffic, so by the time we got to Payson, it was already time to start the reception. But Rebekah, being awesome insisted on going late so we could take pics in the orchard. I'm so glad she did, because that orchard was gorgeous and the pics turned out awesome!

- At their reception they had a fun photo booth and a delicious Ice cream truck. Everyone had a really good time!

- Their cake cutting was fun. The bride's dad and friend had to find a knife to cut it because it was something that was forgotten. They easily retrieved a huge knife from a restaurant. It that a little concerning? haha! They took off each other's glasses before smashing the cake in each other's faces. It was great.

- The dances were awesome, the bouquet toss was awesome and the send was awesome too. It was a fun reception!

I'm so happy for Rebekah and Jacob!
