Trolley Square Wedding

Trolley Square weddings are always high on my list of my favorite wedding venues in Salt Lake City Utah. I am a Utah based wedding Photographer. I would love to photograph your wedding.

This was first time photographing a Native American wedding. The Falls reception center is the perfect location for any winter wedding. Trolley square is perfect for mixing the old with the new. So many cool things happened during this ceremony! It was fun to see the couple draw from their Cherokee heritage. You could see this in their theme of the stars to using Cherokee blessings and rituals during the ceremony. I want to name the things that happened, but feel so uneducated to actually know. I was invited by Lauren Perry to help her take on the awesome responsibility of shooting this wedding. Everything was so polished from the amazing star ceiling to the elaborate flower centerpieces. Winter at Trolley Square is perfect quit location in the heart of downtown salt lake city. The wedding details in this Trolley Square wedding where spot on. I loved the wedding cake and the Brides fun wedding dress. Utah brides are known for their style. I love photographing trendy boho Utah weddings. Also Trolley Square would be a great place to have your Utah wedding.

Utah State Capitol Bridals

Utah state Capitol Bridals are always fun and so beautiful. I love it when newly engaged Utah couples ask to have timeless wedding photography taken here.

Sometimes I joke and say that I do wedding photography primary as an escape from motherhood. To occasionally get a thank you or your welcome. To create something that actually stays done. To do something you can perfect and move on from there. Motherhood is a work in progress to say the least, but I love it. I also love wedding photography. I love getting to know new couples. To experience the freshness of their love, pure, raw and genuine. Capturing each kiss, smile and giggle.

Utah wedding photographer photographs a cute young whimsical couple at the Utah state capitol building. The Utah state capitol is an elegant and timeless location for utah wedding. The classical elegance of the building added to the romance of the couple. Working together we where able to capture smiles and kisses. I love being a Utah Wedding photographer. If you are getting married in Utah I would love to be your wedding photographer. Wedding photography shouldn’t be left to chance, get a professional wedding photographer that you trust. I think that Utah Weddings are always so beautiful. I would love to be your Utah Wedding Photography.

Chelsea and Dylan's WeddingWadley Farms WeddingUtah Wedding Photographer

Behind the Scenes:

Have I mentioned I’m a Netflix junkie? I get to watch while I edit and I also sometimes watch to deal with pre wedding shoot jitters before this Wadley Farms wedding. I think my family is about to stage an intervention and send me to a 12-step recovery program. So I watched some netflix (dance academy is my lame girl weakness right now, what’s yours?) and drank some diet coke to amp myself for this wedding. I’ve wondered if brides have a process they do to prepare for the wedding. Thoughts?

Setting:

Wadley Farms is nestled in the valley at the base of Timpanogous Mountain. A scenic wedding venue with history. This couple was married in the old rail road building. Romantic and quaint and just perfect for their small ceremony wedding.

Cute Couple’s Story:

Dylan and I first met in late August, 2014. My friend and I walked into our first class of the first day of school (heat transfer) and the room was pretty packed but a set of seats which were next to Dylan were open. We looked at each other, said “oooo”, laughed and went to sit next to Dylan because he was cute. Immediately after sitting next to him I said, “Hi, I’m Chelsea and this is Cassandra and we know everyone but we don’t know you”. He introduced himself and I began asking about him. He later told me (on our first date) that he felt like I was picking on the new kid, and I was annoying and avoided me after that encounter. He later saw me walk into class late, thought “Oh shoot, what did I do” and then started to pursue me. We eventually went on some dates and began seriously dating after a few months. We eventually graduated and started working as nuclear engineers in Washington state. It’s one of my favorite stories because it is very much like Dylan to hate talking to strangers but we made it past that to where we are today.

How/when/where did you first meet?

-Ryan and Emily are both Juniors at Brigham Young University. He is three years older, but because of his LDS mission, they will graduate together- He in Finance, and she in Family History.

In January of 2016 Emily moved into a new apartment complex with a friend. On Sunday January 31st, she happened to go to church alone and ended up sitting by herself. Ryan was blessing the Sacrament that day, and as he was looking around the room for a place to sit, he noticed a beautiful girl sitting alone…. so he sat next to her. The bishop of their ward was speaking that day and because he was so funny, Emilylaughed all throughout the meeting. Ryan quickly fell in love with her cute laugh and beautiful big blue eyes. She noticed his note-taking skills… and rugged handsomeness! The next day they happened to be working out at the gym at the same time. Ryan was determined to get to know Emily better so when she left the gym, he ran out after her and asked her to go out on a date with him that Saturday. The two clicked on that first date,which was filled with laughter, a long drive, and amazing conversations. Neither wanted the date to end. Ryan kept asking Emily out every weekend, and Emily kept saying “Yes!” to every single one. Over the course of time, the two fell head over heels in love with each other. More than seven months later, on Friday, September 2nd, Ryan took Emily out for a romantic dinner and afterwards they went to the Provo City Center Temple. While walking around the grounds, Ryan pointed out a beautiful bouquet of red roses accompanied by a note. After looking closer, they “found out” that it was for Emily. Ryan had previously written out a sweet proposal poem which they then read together. As the poem ended, Ryan got down on one knee by the fountain and asked Emily to marry him. Following a long and happy tradition… she said, “Yes!”

October 4, 2016 wedding

I loved taking photos for this cute Fillmore Utah wedding. Set in the rural part of Fillmore Utah it was filled with small town charm. The couple was charming and a pleasure to photograph.

Here are some cute stories from the Bride and Groom in their own words!

*Favorite story of Bride: first kiss was after I had just got done chopping onions and had tears coming down and mascara and he guided me who was blind with my eyes closed to the bathroom. When I finally opened my eyes we were both laughing and then he kissed me which got interrupted by more laughing.

*Favorite story of Groom: Day we got engaged Tava was starting a new job and studying for a test. Tava‘s mom Maureen and her Aunt Laura took a train down to visit. Originally her sister CJ who she doesnt get to see as much anymore was going to come down, but could not get a baby sitter for that long. Without Tava knowing Danny flew her sister down for the day and we all drove to her brothers for a bbq. Her cousins that lived close by Heidi, Rachael, & Taylor also showed up, which Tava did not know. Totally oblivious her brother Cody and Danny said, “She has no idea,” while Tava was just sitting there happy to see everyone. All the sudden her sister walks through the back door and walks right over to Tava to give her a hug. Tava couldn’t believe it, and said, “Are you serious” How did this happen, and before I even got to pop the question she said, “Oh my gosh Im crying” then I got her attention finally and said, “you weren’t expecting that were you?” Tava just shook her head and then Danny says, I bet your not expecting this either and got down on his knee in front of everyone and asked if I would Marry him. Tava said yes and everyone started crying.
