Dear Blog, I know I’ve abandoned you for a few days.  Please forgive me :-)

Memorial weekend was a blast with our friends!  Eating, playing games, listening to the rain, sleeping in, fishing, relaxing….oh the joys of the outdoors! 

This week has been a little crazy getting back to work.  My boys are almost finished with school for the summer so lots have been going on with them, I’ve had a whole bunch of shoots & trying to get my editing caught up!!!! 

I can’t wait for June as I will literally be home a total of 10 days in the whole month of June!  CRAZY I KNOW!!!!!  Lots of traveling & shooting!!!!!!!  I can’t wait for it!!!

I’ll leave you with my stylin lil bride & groom whom I love their style & can’t wait for their wedding next month in Las Vegas!!!!!!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

People always ask me…how do you get your couples being so happy & laughing & looking like they are completely enjoying themselves….WELLLLLLL you look for yourself.  Could you be crabby & NOT laugh at someone looking like this at you?  hahahahahaha!  I’m just a HYPER, OUT OF CONTROL person…LOL!!!  I LOVE to have fun & I LOVE to laugh & I LOVE to be happy!  SO there ya have ME :-)  In all my NERDINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUN.real.stylized.

elizabeth: awesome.. I shot a wedding this weekend for friends and I have shot most of them individually as in family portraits they were making fun of me for making them all jump.. but they love it

Hayley: Alisha this is hilarious!! The brides face cracks me up in that last one. You want me to do what?!? Cool behind the scenes :)

Misty: These are too funny!! I couldn't pass up the chance to get grab a couple of you in action :) What a fun time!!!

tony: killer photos! cool cake too!

They met when they were just 10 years old & fell in love :-)

Now all these years later they became husband & wife!  The perfect little couple.  SOOO in love & SOOOO happy!!!!! 

They love spending quality time together & the love of their lives is MACK!  He is a yellow lab & soooo cute! 

THE ENGAGEMENT::::It was on Britt’s b-day, August 11.  They went to SLC to eat at PF Changs, their favorite place to eat together.  Before hand Ben talked to a manager to put ‘Will you Marry Me’ in the fortune cookie.  Well that didn’t happen so Ben had to think of a back up plan.  On their drive home Britt was sad because she thought he was going to propose!  They went to Hyrum to their gravel pit & they went towards the back of the gravel pit & Ben got down on one knee & asked her to marry him.  It was sunset & they love to go to the gravel pit & take pics of themselves on all the trucks so this was a very special moment!

You can view their bridal session to see them on all the fun things at the gravel pit.

Wedding Location:  Joseph Smith Memorial Building

Videographer:  Wendell Pace

Flowers:  Flowers Squared

Cake:  Carrie’s Cakes

Catering & Reception:  Joseph Smith Memorial Building

I have to say that I positively love this couple & their families!  Through the whole process of shooting their pics, discussing plans, placing orders they have been a DREAM!!!!!!  I’m sooooo happy I have made some great friendships!!!!!!!!!!!

Also I have a funny series of pics to post & will post tomorrow.  It’s 4 VERY VERY funny pics Misty took of me directing the bridal party on what to do.  HAHAHAHAHA!  I’m SUCH a big NERD! :-)

 THANKS to my most talented, BFF, creative, 2nd shooter Misty Johnson for helping me out with this wedding!!!!  YOU are the BEST & I love you to pieces!  We completely make a fantastic team girlfriend!!!!

At the wedding Britt’s aunt gave me a picture of Britt’s GREAT-GREAT Grandparents.  She wanted me to take a picture of Britt & Ben just like when Britt’s Great-Great Grandparents were married.  I just LOVE old antique pictures!

Sally has been to Las Vegas, New York, Disneyland, Montana & her most recent adventure…HAWAII!!!!!  Sally texted me on the plane to say goodbye as she went to Hawaii…she also sent a text while on the beach!  She had such a fabulous trip!  She’s sooooo sweet :-)
