I love sunrise sessions! There is nothing more exciting for me than knowing I’m waking up to immediately jump right in with my favorite thing: photographing beautiful brides in beautiful spaces. This light and bright early morning session took place at the Utah State Capitol building.

This styled shoot was actually kind of a last-minute hustle. We threw things together, but because we were all so clearly on the same page, it turned out absolutely gorgeous. I did the flowers as my alter-boss-babe-ego Love Blooms Softly (floral design is my other passion!) and my friend Samantha, who I know through ballroom dance classes in college, agreed to be our model.

We sourced the perfect dress from Sweetheart Bridal in Provo, Utah, and the ring was also locally sourced from Wilson Diamonds.

We chose a location that would allow the simple colors and organic shape of the bridal bouquet to really shine, so the Capitol was our first pick, and it turned out lovely. We also loved the way the colors in the bouquet brought out the subtle pink color in the wedding gown, offsetting the white everywhere else in this setting.

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this beautiful styled shoot!
