Let’s talk about wedding florals today! This is one of my favorite subjects as a hobby florist myself! A while back, I spoke with Sarah from Blushing Rose Floral about her business and her passion and one of the topics we discussed was ways for brides to think outside the box when it comes to their wedding florals.
Here are five ways to keep your wedding floral design unique and personalized to YOU and your wedding:
Read MoreCongratulations on your impending wedding day! There’s so much to be giddy about. Other than obviously marrying your beloved, a significant part of the pent-up excitement leading up to your special day can be attributed to celebrating with your wedding guests!

For this session, Caitlyn + Josh and I opted for the early morning hours which started my day off right, I tell you! Nothing puts a smile on my face faster than seeing the genuine smiles on my couples’ own faces as we document their love for each other.
Caitlyn and Josh are the kindest, sweetest couple. She studied Art History at BYU and he’s been studying Communications with the goal of becoming a sports broadcaster. So when you see him on TV, that means I’m basically famous adjacent!

As a little girl, Sarah remembers watching her father bringing in flowers to give to her grandmother. The emotion behind this sweet gesture established her love of flowers not only for their beauty but for the strength and support they represent. “Flowers lift us up in our darkest times, and celebrate with us in our brightest,” Sarah says.

So where do I take my couples who still want a beautiful backdrop? Antelope Island. It’s the perfect location for mid-April because it’s beautifully alive, even in the cold!
I loved shooting these lovebirds’ engagements earlier this year! Sydney is just soooo sweet and smiley, and Jack was an adorable gentleman as he helped her walk through the crazy rocky places in her heels. He’s a great guy!
