Brandon + Angela | Spring Engagements at Antelope Island
Angela and Brandon are a dream couple to work with. I knew from our initial phone call that Angela and I would be friends! She loves books, hiking, Jane Austen, has a classy style, and is completely in love. Brandon is getting his MBA at UVA right now and is such a kind, service-oriented person. Angela loves the way that he is always looking for ways to make her life easier. It’s been so much fun working with her to photograph this exciting time in their lives!
These two love traveling together, walking, and hosting friends for dinner. Wedding planning isn’t for everyone, but Angela and Brandon actually love to plan! In marriage, they are looking forward to just having a partner. For their engagement shoot, these two wanted a beautiful, springy outdoor location.
We went back and forth for ages trying to find a green location for Angela and Brandon. Usually, we’d be able to find plenty of green in mid-April, but that wasn’t the case this year! In fact, it snowed just a few days before our session. We ended up at Antelope Island off the Great Salt Lake, where there was green grass and even some yellow wildflowers! We met at Antelope Island and went on a little hike to reach our first location at Buffalo Point. The views were beautiful, and thankfully, it wasn’t too cold or windy. Then we finished the session at the Ladyfinger Campground area. Thankfully, it was too cold for any bugs or gnats, so we were happy.
I love finding clients who become instant friends. Being a photographer allows me to stay in touch and be there for all of the big moments in my clients’ lives. From weddings to graduations to future family shoots, the need for a good photographer never ends. I cannot wait to keep working with Angela and Brandon and cheering them on through future chapters of their lives together!

Austin contacted Pro Proposal Company out of Utah County to help him plan the proposal of Summer’s dreams. They did not disappoint. This Provo Canyon proposal was straight out of a magazine!
We had big shoes to fill with their engagement session, so I took this adventurous couple to one of my favorite locations in Utah. The Bonneville Salt Flats are almost other-worldly!
For Trevor and Sara’s Park City engagement shoot, we decided to squeeze in three separate locations, and it was totally worth it!

Lauren and Tanner’s love story is one of patience, distance, and a matchmaking aunt :) And it starts way back when their parents were in high school!
Cue the drama, because Cara and Dean are a theatre couple through and through. Thankfully, their love story has a much sweeter ending than Romeo and Juliet - but is just as romantic. Cara and Dean met as new theatre students at Weber State in Ogden, Utah. Dean was quick to ask her out on a date and they have been inseparable ever since! While Dean drove long hours to finish his degree in Lighting Design…
Last year I attended a styled shoot hosted by Styled Shoots Across America. They’re owned by the ultra-talented Heather Benge and are known for putting together lush, over-the-top styled shoots where photographers can grow their portfolios. SSAA hosts two types of shoots – smaller ones with one theme and one location; and larger, all-day shoot crawls (like the one I attended) that have a variety of looks, models, and themes.
I am so excited to share another session with Paul and Brielle! We got together at the Utah State Capitol Building this spring for an anniversary session under the cherry blossom trees. They made the drive down from Idaho and we met up on a gorgeous spring morning. If you’ve never seen the Utah State Capitol grounds during the first few weeks of spring, you MUST check it out sometime. The grounds are full of gorgeous cherry trees and the blossoms are so beautiful.
