Tate & Nick wanted greenery in their engagement photos. That would have been no problem if it hadn’t been February in the middle of the desert. So we decided on Moon Valley Nursery in Las Vegas since it was close to where they live. This was my first shoot ever in a nursery. I really like how it turned out!
Brittany & Austin eloped to Zion National Park in early October. This time of year is when we get our peek autumn colors on the east side of Zion. I loved everything about this elopement, from the intimate ceremony with only their parents attending, to the portraits we took in the park afterward. We went to three locations within the park. I wanted to capture the pretty reds of the oak trees, the slot canyons, and the overlook for sunset. I’m really proud of how these photos came out. And I had so much fun with Brittany and Austin. They made my job easy!
If you are planning an autumn wedding in Zion National Park look no further for inspiration. I would love to collaborate with any future couples thinking about making Zion National Park their wedding destination.

What a fun summer day. I meet the Gregorie family at the Court of the Patriarchs trailhead for a family session in Zion National Park. This locaiton is great for families that don’t want to hike very far or have small kids. July & August is so hot in Southern Utah, but this location is perfect when the sun goes behind the cliffs and cools everything down. 
There is a hiking trail pretty close to where I live and I always looked out at the views and thought, “this would be an awesome place to do a photo session, I need to take a couple out here.” It’s a bit of a hike so I needed a couple that was willing to make the trek with me. When Sarah & Brigham came along I knew they would be perfect. They are both really into fitness and have the most positive attitudes.
I had this idea of how the session would look in my head and it exceeded all my own expectations. So excited I finally got to shoot here!
We had some amazing vendors help out for this session.

Sarah is an amazingly talented hairstylist at Lunatic Fringe so she did her won hair for this session. She really is the best in St. Geroge so if you want a cut, color or both ask for Sarah Nielsen!
