Wedding

Holy Trinity Cathedral & Millcreek Inn, UT | Nina & Chris Wedding

Nina and Chris' wedding was amazing! I seriously loved everything about it! There were so many special moments and fun times that the pictures can probably tell better than my words. 

I loved that they got married in the Holy Trinity Cathedral. I have never photographed there so it was so fun to see their ceremony and learn a little bit about the Greek Catholic religion. I loved that Nina’s brother walked her down the aisle. I loved the symbolism behind them exchanging rings 3 times, crowns three times and walking around the altar together 3 times. Afterward Father George gave them a few words of advice and they were married! Nina and Chris greeted all their guests with hugs and kisses- everyone there was treated as family. They are both so warm and friendly. After they exited the church and everyone threw rice! It was awesome! 

Their reception was at Millcreek Inn which is so gorgeous with the mountains surrounding everything! We took more pics of the wedding Party and family. I really loved Nina’s bridesmaids- they’re so nice, sweet and helpful just like she is. Plus they looked gorgeous in their pink dresses. 

From the kind words that were said during the toasts to them greeting their guests, I loved learning more about Nina and Chris. They seriously are the most genuine people who love and care for people so deeply. They have so many close friends. They always know how to make me feel wanted and special when I’m around them. They’re just an amazing couple!! 

After a delicious dinner, toasts and greeting their guests, they cut their cake. They had fun and stuffed it in each other’s faces but then they continued to feed each other the cake until the piece of cake was gone. I loved that they were taking time to taste their cake! Next, they had their first dance. It was so cute! Every once in a while, Nina would spin out and put her arms up and everyone would cheer. After Chris danced with his mom, Nina danced with her brother and then her uncle. These dances were hilarious and so much fun! They were having the best time. Then the REAL FUN dancing started. There was a little bit of hip-hop music mixed with some traditional Serbian Croatian music (I hope I got that right). For one dance, pretty much everyone there was on the dance floor learning the dance. It was so much fun! I can't say enough how much fun their wedding was!

Congratulations Nina and Chris!!!

Salt Lake Temple, UT | Jenna & Jake Formals

Jenna and Jake met in American Heritage class at BYU. One day he sat down by her (out of a class of 700 people) and they got talking. She dared him to answer a question and then he dared her to go out to dinner with him. She accepted and they hit it off on their first date! A few months later, they went up the canyon and started dancing to a song that he recorded for her when he proposed to her. They fell in love! They got married in the Salt Lake temple a few days before I took their pictures. I was so happy they asked me to take some formal pictures for them. They are so cute, wonderful, and so giddy with each other. I'm so happy for them!

Bluffdale, UT | Lauren & Jerame Wedding

Lauren and Jerame's wedding was amazing! Lauren and her mom (and so many others) transformed their back yard into the most beautiful ceremony and reception space. It was so gorgeous! Just see for yourself!

Some things I loved about their wedding day:

- Lauren's nephew was the ring bearer. He is so dang cute. Then Lauren and Jerame's nieces were the flower girls. They are darling and their dresses were too. After they walked down the aisle with the grandmas, Lauren's dad and her brothers walked her down the aisle. Her brothers were holding her dress. The ceremony was so sweet. Lauren's uncle married them. It was so happy! They were both smiling ear to ear! They're married!

- I loved all the decor– the flowers wrapping the tree, the flowers on the barrels and on the log stumps, the cakes, and the table decor. The groom cake was awesome! On the tables, they each had a sign of 10 things they love about each other. I thought that was sweet touch. They each had pictures of their grandpas close to them. Lauren had a picture of each grandpa hooked to her bouquet and Jerame had a picture of his grandpa on his boutonniere. So sweet!

- After talking to their guests, Lauren and Jerame cut their cake. They gave it to each other nicely at first but then Lauren smooshed it in face. haha it was funny!

- Jerame and his mom danced next. She was so smiley and happy. It was cute! Then Lauren and her dad danced together. I always love watching the mom's reaction while they dance. She had a few tears. It was so sweet! It's their one and only girl so it was extra special.

- Then they had a sparkler exit! And rode off on a golf cart! Their adventure begins!

So happy for you Lauren and Jerame!
