Wedding photography, like life, takes place in all seasons and all kinds of weather. I love sunshine because it gives such a bright and happy feeling and results in really vibrant colors. I love cloudy days because it creates beautiful, soft and diffused light. I love rainy days because it reminds me of a musical (I always feel like singing and dancing!), and because the rain clouds can make the most amazing and dramatic skies. I love snowstorms because they are just romantic. Can't you picture going for a walk in the snow, getting twirled around by the one you love?
...ignore the fact that we couldn't feel our appendages and snow was pelting everyone in the face sideways at 40mph. Romantic, right?
Because of the weather, we decided to start the formals session with Nicole and Josh indoors at Heritage Gardens. Their reception would be held there the next day and we were lucky to have access to it. It's a beautiful location, and if you are looking for a venue, I definitely recommend it.
Nicole's dress (from David's Bridal) was beautiful! I especially loved the texture of the pink band around her waist. It always helps to bring some more color into the photos.
After Heritage Garden we shot a little bit at the LDS Timpanogos Temple where they were getting married. The lights on the grounds and the snow just made it a magical setting... it was AMAZING. Nicole and Josh were such troopers with the snow. We would jump out and shoot for a few minutes, and jump back in the cars to thaw; the temperatures were freezing, but the Nicole and Josh were just wonderful!
Take a look at their entire formals session here.
