I will soon be changing my wedding prices. If you’ve been thinking of booking your wedding photography with me, here’s a heads up that things will be different soon. :) The new pricing will be simpler and easier to understand. As the saying goes, keep it simple, stupid! I’m talking to myself here-it’s time to simplify!
What post would be complete without a photo? So, here’s a simple photo to go along with my plans to simplify, and a bit of sneak peek at baby Max’s newborn portraits.
I’m going to Vegas with my friend/sister in-law/second shooter, Leisha for the WPPI Convention (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International). I can’t wait to learn from lots of other amazing photographers and see all the newest and coolest photography products. This convention will help me improve my photography and business skills. It’s going to be a bit of a party, too. I can’t wait!
I’ll be gone all next week, so if you need to get hold of me, feel free to email me at melissa@utah-weddingphotographer.com or call (801) 493-5487. Return calls and emails may be delayed a little since I’ll be learning lots of cool photography and business stuff all day, every day.

BIG FLOWERS MEAN BIG IMPACT
Big, hearty flowers can give you lots of impact on your wedding day and keep costs down. Roses, star chrysanthemums, dahlias, star gazer lilies and carnations give you lots of bang for your buck. When used in the right color combinations, they will really give you an elegant look and a dramatic result. Add some lovely wide ribbon and you get eyecatching bouquets and centerpieces. Use lots of the these types of flowers and sprinkle in a few more expensive, special flowers for that expensive-for-less look. Whether you have a lot of area to cover or want to keep your floral budget down, this is a great way to go.
Talk to your florist about how they can help you implement these ideas into your wedding day floral scheme. One of my favorite floral designers is Audrey O’Brien of Studio Stems. Check her out at www.studiostems.com.

Chelsey and Mitch rocked their engagement session in downtown Salt Lake City. I think they both have a little model built into them. We went everywhere! I didn’t really realize it until I began to edit the photos.
It’s obvious they like each other. I like the way he envelopes her in his arms and she looks up at him, laughs and smiles. Happy people make happy pictures. They’re best friends and have been for a long time. What a great foundation for a marriage!
