Tatiana and Robert's Wedding Photos

Did you know Wedding Flowers by Emily does PHOTOGRAPHY too?

Yes I do!

These two lovebirds got married in the Salt Lake City, LDS temple and it was my privilege to be able to photograph the photos at the temple and their reception. All LDS temples don't allow photography inside the building so there are no photos of their actual ceremony.

I had so much fun! My absolute favorite part of any wedding is when I get to take photos of the bride and groom alone. The love you feel just radiates from them and it's so inspiring. I think that's why I love photographing weddings so much. Seeing these newlyweds on one of the most special days in their relationship is truly a beautiful thing. It makes me think back on my wedding day 6 years ago and remember the feelings of love I felt on that day.

Yes, shooting a wedding can be stressful but I absolutely love it. I have been a part of the the wedding industry for 3 1/2 years now and I still haven't gotten tired of it. In fact, the more I dive into it, the more I love being a part of it.

Congrats to Tatiana and Robert! Thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from their big day

Jesika's Bridals Session

Did you know Wedding Flowers by Emily does photography too? 


Photography is definitely another passion of mine and I'm having a hard time deciding if I like doing flowers or taking photography better. Tough choice! People always ask me this question and I always have a hard time answering because there are things I like (and don't like) about each of them. I am SO happy to be able to offer both of them to my clients.

This photo shoot was a blast! Jesika was so much fun to work with and I'm thrilled at the photos we got. I fully expect to see Jesika on the cover of a magazine some day. She is trying to become a professional model someday.  Just remember the little guys when you get that big :-)

Thanks Jesika! You are a stunning bride!

Jesselle's Portrait Session

Wedding Flowers by Emily does flowers AND photography! 

I had so much fun during this shoot! Jesselle was awesome to work with and I think we got some great photos. One of my favorite parts about the whole experience was looking at the progression of photos after the shoot. When I looked at the first 25 or so photos, Jesselle was standing how she normally would for a snapshot with friends. After coaching and teaching her about how to stand/where to shift your weight/how to tilt your head etc, the photos got progressively better and better. By the end of the photo shoot, we were out of natural light but I wanted to go back to all the spots we took photos at and see how she would do now that she knew how to correctly pose. She was a pro by the end of it all! The last 25 photos I took don't even compare to the first 25 I took.

I absolutely love coaching the person I'm taking photos of about how to stand/tilt their head/move their hands etc so that they look their absolute best. It's taken a lot of research, talking to professional models, and watching lots of modeling tutorials but it has certainly paid off! As a photographer, you can't just expect people to show up and know how to pose correctly. If you take the time to learn how to coach someone properly, the photos will be 100x better.

The Infinity Dress

I have been a part of the wedding world for a while now and have worked with hundreds of brides. I like to discuss the details of their wedding and all the cute decorations they have come up with. I talk about this with my brides because it helps me to get to know their theme and style better which then helps me to design their bouquet and wedding flowers to fit their personality.

I hear all about the fun and exciting parts of their wedding but I also hear about the difficulties of planning their wedding too. One of the biggest issues always seems to be bridesmaid dresses.

Women come in all shapes and sizes and it's so hard to find a dress that looks good on everyone. Though it may be difficult to please everyone when it comes to bridesmaid dresses, it can be done! Why not choose a dress that each bridesmaid can basically design themself to fit and flatter their own body?

The Infinity Dress is the answer!

Each dress comes in the skirt style and color of your choice.  The top is made of two loose panels of fabric that can be wrapped in as many ways as your imagination can create.  They really are impressive because you can wear them in an infinite amount of styles.

I had the amazing opportunity to work with Harli, Taylor, and Elizabeth during this photo shoot of the Infinity Dresses. We had so much fun coming up with all different ways of wrapping each dress to get a completely different look... and a completely different dress! I was impressed by the quality of the fabric, construction, and style of the dresses that could be easily paired with formal jewelry for a black tie affair or left simple for more casual events.

You should have heard the excited gasps when I told the girls they got to keep their dresses. Hah! I wish I would have recorded that!

A big thank you to everyone who was a part of this shoot, James included   :-)
