For Jessica

Get your Kleenex box out, 'cause you're gonna need it.

What a total and complete privilege to be a part of this project. This story is so touching and beautiful. I'm embarrassed to say that I have been on the fence in the past about being an organ donor. This experience has converted my thoughts on that forever.

What a fun day filming this sweet little family. I didn't even mind when they locked their keys in the car and had to have the police come and open it for them. We's just chillin' waitin' on the po po. Love Mimi and John. For life.

Also love this outrageously beautiful song by little miss Mindy Gledhill. Lovely girl. Lovely song.

Enjoy! And be an organ donor for crying out loud!!

Matt + Angie + An Outdoor Reception

I had no idea I came away from this reception with such amazing footage. I can't take credit for that. Angie did an amazing job with the details and their bridal party was too cool for me to even breath. I have such a crush on one of the guitarists. Don't tell him that. My favorite part? They couldn't find the knife to cut the cake so they improvised and used a candy scoop. I have never seen a cake cut so quickly and efficiently. Most couples battle for a good 2 or 3 minutes to get a piece of cake to work with that ends up looking like a massacred lump of crumbs. Not the case with the candy scoop as you will see. I think everyone should follow suit. And then there is the song. Lust for this song. I love love love when couples let me choose the music because THIS IS THE RESULT! This song is the definition of perfection for this event. Yes. Yes.

Thomas + Aubrey: Our Story

These two have the best story! Literally love it. And the way they tell it is so so darling. You'll laugh. You'll cry. And if you don't, I'm sorry to inform you, you don't have a heart. And then there's the end...wait for it. Best groom speech of all time award goes to Thomas Danger Osmond. Lovely. Most darling/infectious laugh award goes to Miss Aubrey Dawn Ballows. Hands DOWN! Love these two. It's bordering inappropriate.

Thomas + Aubrey + Some Wicked Dirt Bikes

I. Love. This. Couple. Little more needs to be said in regards to these two. We are a match made in heaven. We share views on love, life, and construction. Plus they are both so so cute! Good looking, no? What shenanigans will I get into next. At one point during the shoot I had to ride on the back of Thomas' bike. I spent the entire experience in terror, fearing for my life while my nose ran off my face. Suuuper attractive. We seriously had a total blast. This is when I love my job the most. I'm wetting my pants in anticipation for their wedding later this month. Not literally. That's gross. Enjoy!

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Seriously one of my favorite videos OF ALL TIME! I'm putting it on my website - that's how much I love it. Things I'm obsessed with: Little Red's costume - sheer perfection. The wolf's sandals - I could eat those sandals. The Mom (Holly) - stunning and elegant as usual. The clothespins and twine. The apples. The chair. The monkey and crayons. The entire shoot was executed perfectly thanks to Holly. All I had to do was show up, point, and shoot. LOVE THIS VIDEO!! Oh, and happy birthday Nic!

Scott + Jessie: Our Story

Scott and Jessie - what a darling darling couple!! I love how they met because that is how I met my husband. I also love Scott's answer to "Who is going to change your children's dirty diapers?". Hysterical. Such a fun couple. They have such a sweet relationship. These two are going to be very happy together.

Nate + Graceann + Autumn Togetherness

These two are so cute! I love that they went with the fall/pumpkins theme for this video. My favorite part is when Nate fixes Graceann's earring. I don't think most men would know how to do that - ha ha. These two were so much fun to film. I can't wait to do their wedding in a few weeks!!

Daniel + Julie + A Surprise Engagement

I had the privilege of filming these two get engaged!! I felt very stealth hiding in the dark, lying in wait for Julie's arrival. This moment was SO COOL to be a part of. The genuine love and raw emotion in this video are seriously what I live for. Especially when Julie starts to cry. Goosebumps. It's shoots like these where I can't believe I get paid to do what I do. I love it so much it doesn't even feel like work.

Eventually

This was such a cool project to be a part of. I'm so thrilled for these two. I am trying to convince them to let me in the delivery room. Tastefully shot of course. How cool would THAT video be? Anyway, enjoy this one and try not to cry. You will most likely fail as it's a total tear jerker.

Robert + Emily + a Date Down Town

This couple is so cool! Robert does parkours so we would be wandering down the street and suddenly he would do some crazy flip off of a wall. Very awesome. They wanted a vintage look so I tried some different styles and techniques for this video. I think it turned out very cool. I am super hip and vintage. Look at me go. Things I love: Robert's awesome antics, Emily's cardigan, the happy meals, the kicking happy meal toy, Emily's ring. That is all. Watch and enjoy.

Autumn's Bridals

Autumn did her bridals at the Salt Lake temple on a Monday with her groom Matt. Smart smart girl! The temple grounds were all butt deserted, we could take all the time in the world with their pictures, and now the pressure is totally off for the actual wedding day. Love it. I also loved her shoes, her bouquet, and her DRESS!! Trax makes a brief appearance which is probably my favorite part of the whole video. Thanks to her cute mom, Barbie and her sister, Summer for being so sweet and helping things run super smooth. Fun fun day.

Cameron + Megan + A SLC Wedding

This is a gorgeous same day edit I filmed last weekend. Love this couple. They are so fun to look at. The night before their wedding I went and filmed their wedding dinner and bawled like a baby during the speeches. I hardly know these people but the love and excitement in the room was so thick you couldn't help but feel emotion. So awesome. I've been waiting for the perfect couple to use this song for months now! I love it. I also love the brides shoes. I dream of them. Is breaking and entering really THAT bad if you really really want someone's shoes? I think not. I'll let you know how that goes.

Greg + Kenzi + A Wedding

Here's a little same-day-edit I did recently. Stunning! Stu-NING! Kenzie literally looks too gorgeous to be a real person. The word "unfair" comes to mind. Such a pretty day and such an amazing family. These people are hysterical and so so cool. I could definitely hang with this family. Love the song choice (I may have had something to do with it) Love the dapper/handsome groom. Love Kenzie's shoes. Love gorgeous Kylee ;) That is all. Carry on. Watch the film. Stop reading. Press play.

Brandon + Amanda + A Bella Vista Reception

Brandon and Amanda had their reception at Bella Vista and it was so much fun! I am totally obsessed with the car they left in. Pure perfection, that car. Every couple should have such a perfect car to leave their reception in. And Amanda's getaway dress is just about the cutest thing since the wheel. L.O.V.E

Josh + Melissa + The Perfect Reception

Loved this reception. Loved it. I'm a total sucker for a formal dinner reception. This one was dripping with elegance. Loved the darling flower girls in their adorable dresses flitting about the Thanksgiving Point gardens. Speaking of, LOVE Thanksgiving Point. Loved the bridal party-they were all so gorgeous and perfectly outfitted. It's like they were hired to come and look stunning and laugh and smile all day. And just you wait till you see the bride and groom dancing at the end. Hysteria ensues.

Josh + Melissa + Perfection

Josh and Melissa - the couple with impeccable taste. I'm not kidding every single detail was executed to perfection. Melissa got absolutely nothing wrong in this wedding: Dress-100% show stopper, hair-stunning, makeup-perfect, colors-stellar, bouquet-gorgeous. A+ for Melissa. If this song choice doesn't make you cry then you have a cold cold heart. Love it. Also loving all the darling little children running about making me laugh. Perfect weather, beautiful couple, love love love.

Greg + Kenzie: Our Story

These two crack me UP! Sometimes their stories match and sometimes they don't and when they don't, I'm laughing out loud. So cute. Love these two! Can't wait to film their wedding tomorrow!

Greg + Kenzie + Some Motorized Scooters

These two are so so gorgeous and so so fun! We had a total blast together. Never mind that I fell off my scooter. It was a not-so-graceful moment for me. Kenzie and Greg were laughing and joking and kissing and smiling the whole day. Always makes my job easier. And aren't these scooters awesome? I want one so bad after buzzing around on them all afternoon. Thanks so much to Ryan and the rest of the guys at Lyric! We definitely couldn't have done it without you guys!

Garret + Karli + The Perfect Reception

I am dying for this reception. I vote best of the season, for sure. I have dreams about their cake at night. I tell total strangers about their cake. Cutest cake I have ever seen hands down. With the candied apples, and the fondant pearls. In love I tell you. The colors were stunning, the details were perfection. Shabby chic at it's finest. And a gorgeous couple to top it all off. Heavenly.
