I visited the lovely ladies at White Couture Wedding Attire and Tuxedos in Park City, Utah on an unseasonably rainy June day.  Lillie Garrido, the owner of White Couture, and her invaluable sidekicks, Kristin and Christina, gave me a warm welcome when I entered their beautiful bridal salon.

Look Who’s Getting Married! | Utah Wedding Photography

Megan and JJ are getting married tomorrow at the Riverwoods Marriott in Logan, Utah.  It’s gonna’ be pretty!  Outdoor weddings are my favorite.

I love this couple and I love Megan’s family (haven’t met JJ’s yet).  I photographed Megan’s sister, Amanda’s wedding a couple of years ago, and recently did her post-wedding bridal portraits, HERE.

What I loved about Megan and JJ’s  engagement session, is that they were always laughing.  They are so easy to photograph and it just felt like we were hanging out and happened to be taking engagement photos.

Just wait until you see Megan’s bridal portraits…yowzer!  I’ll share those after the wedding…you know, since we don’t want JJ to see her in her dress before the wedding.

Look Who’s Getting Married! | Utah Wedding Photography

Matt and Andrea are getting married Saturday at the Salt Lake LDS Temple, and their reception is today at Thanksgiving Point.  I’m looking forward to a breezy, warm, evening garden reception full of vintage decorations and beautiful flowers in soft shades of rose and cream.  I love outdoor weddings and receptions.  They feel so free and easy.

For Matt and Andrea’s engagement session, we took a little tour of Salt Lake City.  It was a spontaneous adventure.  We started near my house in Holladay, at a laundromat where I take my comforter since it’s too big for my washing machine.  One day, when I was there, attending to said comforter, the light was streaming through the windows and I thought it would be a great new place for an engagement session.

After hitting the laundromat, where Andrea’s mom helped a stranger fold his underwear (that’s another story),  headed toward downtown Salt Lake City, stopping along State Street, whenever we saw something we liked.  Thanks to Andrea’s mom, Margo, for driving…and cinnamon hot chocolate to warm us up.

We ended the evening in a grassy field overlooking Salt Lake City. How nice.
