Liberty Park

istockphoto - Family at Liberty Park

  This was a beautiful day at Liberty Park.  Green grass, blue skies, and the sun was shining!

 

 

 

We met up with Rob and his kids for a quick stock shoot and playing at the park!

 

 

 

Rob is good friend and amazing musician.  He is a dj, a saxophone player, does clubs and weddings. But beyond that, he's an incredible and loving father.  It was so sweet to see him with his kids here...

 

 

Life is good, isn't it?

 

 

 

Amanda and Stefan: Saved for a rainy day

  I know Amanda from Austin and was thrilled to hear that she was engaged.  She and Stefan are currently attending BYU-Idaho and so they came down to Utah to do the engagement shoot.  We started off at Trolley Square in downtown Salt Lake and finished up at Liberty Park.

 

I tell you though, I have not ever shot outside when it was raining quite that hard!  Snow yes, rain no.  It was awesome!  Everything was reflective and looked especially vibrant and alive.  Thomas was running around like a crazy person trying to keep the equipment dry and I totally ruined a pair of shoes but it was completely worth it!    To top it off, both Amanda and Stefan were fabulous and were perfectly happy to go out, get wet, and have fun.

 

Just look at how alive and green everything is when it rains...  It just screams out SPRING.
I loved all the difference expressions they had for the photos . I think this is the first time someone has given me the peace sign at an engagement shoot though.  Peace, Love and Photography, y'all!

Just the Details

Erin and Todd's wedding had so many awesome details that it needed it's own post.

Todd made the "love" bench below, the sign, and the table in the center photo! This guy has some amazing wood shop skills...

Erin and Todd at the Salt Lake City Temple- a perfect day.

I just noticed this part of temple square (below)-  I LOVE IT.

Erin and Todd

Every once in a while I get a couple that no matter where we are and when we shoot it doesn't matter- I just get awesome photo after awesome photo. For this engagement session we had planned originally to start off at Wheeler Farm and then head on up to Saltair. Erin and Todd were just so natural in front of the camera, and we kept working so well together that time flew by and before we knew it we had spent much more time than expected at Wheeler Farm. Thus, we headed on up to Liberty Park to finish up the engagements.
I love their style, and both were just wonderful to deal with.  I've really gotten some fantastically easy-going clients recently.  :)

While at Liberty Park we had a visitor.  I've been shooting for a while, but I don't think I've ever been photobombed by a waterfowl before.

Some of the colors we were getting were almost like Fall.  It made for some really rich backgrounds...

Some tender moments at the most photographed truck in Utah.... :)


The blues in this next one just felt right...
