The beautiful people you see below are Samuel & Carolina, who celebrated a perfect wedding day last week at the Salt Lake Temple, followed by a ring ceremony, reception & dinner at the Bonneville Room at the Joseph Smith Building. I’ll be out of town next week on vacation, then to a wedding in Los Angeles, so here is a bucket load of pics to hold you over until I get back:

Manti Temple Wedding Photography

John & Amy were married last week at the Manti Utah LDS Temple, which happens to be the same place my parents were married not too many years ago. The Manti temple is a stunning, beautiful place, the architecture almost out of a fairytale. Easily in my top 2 or 3 favorite temples. The wedding was followed by the reception at Hidden Falls at Thanksgiving Point. I’ve shot at Thanksgiving Point probably a half-dozen times this summer, not that I’m complaining, what a beautiful place. Good luck to John & Amy with their new life in Kansas at dental school. On to the pics:

Draper Temple Wedding Photography

I recently photographed the wedding day of Elaine & Seiki at the Draper Utah LDS Temple, followed by reception & luncheon at the Garden Room at Thanksgiving Point. Elaine & Seiki both live in Hawaii and came all the way out here with their Hawaiian & Pacific Island friends & family for their wedding. I think they were happy with the pictures based on the email Elaine sent me: “There’s more than just a few pictures we like, we love them all! Thank you so much for being our wedding photographer and especially for capturing such great shots of our family and friends, and of all the wedding details. Looking through the photos was like reliving our happy wedding day all over again – we will enjoy these pictures for years to come! Thanks again!”

San Francisco Bridals / Groomals

John & Amy will be getting married later this month at the Manti LDS Temple. Amy has family ties in the Bay Area and wanted her bridals/groomals shot there, so last Friday we made a quick flight to San Francisco and back. Luckily flights were on time and the weather and traffic cooperated (mostly). Thanks to Joy for her help & Mike for being an excellent chauffeur through the city. He knew the streets inside & out so we were able to hit the great locations–Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Lombard Street, AT&T Ballpark, and even went to the same park where Amy’s parents had their wedding pictures taken not too many years ago. On to the pictures:

Salt Lake Temple & Park City Reception

Gethyn — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 03:39:03 +0000

I’m smack in the middle of my busy season shooting and editing photos which doesn’t leave much time for the blog–sorry for the lack of updates!

I know many couples who might have let an all-day downpour ruin their wedding day, but not Adam & Emily. Even though it rained all day long they cheerfully took it as a sign of good luck. Which is good news for me, because it’s hard to make grumpy people look happy for pictures. Fortunately we had umbrellas at the temple and the Park City reception was indoors so everything turned out great in the end.
