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.

Chase + Allie + a Charming Reception

I had the privilege of filming my husband's cousin's wedding day and holy cow! The details that went into this reception are endless and amazing! So adorable! I always say that I would change everything about my wedding except the groom. This reception is an example of why. Things I love: The lemonade stand, the "bride" and "groom" signs, the baby getting bum pats (might be my child), the photos on the clothes line, the little boy on the monkey bars (might be my child), the rocking chairs, the jar lights hanging from the trees, the little girls giggling on the bench (again, might be my child - in the sweater - and niece), the darling candy table. Job well done, Allie! Love you guys!

Chase + Allie + The St George Temple

I will start by saying I love these two!! The groom is my husband's cousin so this was a family wedding. Hooray for family weddings! I love shooting family. I love family. So I have known the groom now for 10 years and we hadn't said so much as boo to each other until his wedding day. Let me tell you, kid is super cool! I love him! And I love DOVE his wifey - Allie is a total DOLL! Super unique dress, flowers, hair (I was obsessed with her up-do!) Very talented girl in the style department, I must say. Awesome day. Darling couple. Enjoy.

Tyler + Nicole + A Swank Reception

Tyler and Nicole had their reception at Spark (a night club in Down Town Provo). Very hip. Very cool. Very Down Town. Also very dark - I was nervous about the dark but I think it makes the video look AWESOME! It captures the ambiance, no? Yes. Yes it does. Things I love: The cake, the freaking DARLING drinks, the eclectic flower arrangements, the fabulous fabulous car the couple left in ( I want to say it was a Lamborghini?), the red carpet, the first dance. Love, love, love.

Brandon + Amanda + The Big Day!

You wish you were at this wedding. Everyone is so dang FUNNY! Things I loved: Stunning Amanda, lively hysterical groomsmen, darling grandpa with his darling hat, Brandon's sweet dad and his camera, little boys in yellow ties, brief appearance by the rain (I love rain - in moderation), and last but not least, Brandon - Boy seriously had me in stitches all day long. As usual. Love this couple!!!

Gracie Girl

Meet Gracie. Oh my goodness, this little girl kills me. She is so so cute!! And so smart too! Her mom and I had a ball following her around all afternoon. She's a total doll. And how PERFECT is this song?! Loved this shoot.
