Utah wedding photography is a competitive field full of great wedding photographers. When you are looking for a wedding photographer make sure you do your leg work looking at a lot of different wedding photographers and their wedding photography portfolios.  Make sure your wedding photographer knows what they are doing and are competent in the wedding photography field.  A wedding photographer who is to be trusted should be able to show you a lot of different weddings in their wedding photography galleries.  A good wedding photographer can shoot in dark reception centers and still get great wedding photographs.  I have shot over a hundred weddings most of them being local to salt lake city Utah.  I understand the Utah bride and groom and their needs for wedding photography.  Feel free to write me and ask any wedding photography questions you might have.

Utah Bridal Photos

Utah bridal photos:  Bridal photos are some of my favorite to take.  A little test run of how beautiful a bride will be on her wedding day.  Utah is home to so many beautiful and scenic photo locations.  We decided to take Jordan’s bridals out at Saltair.  Saltair is a great place for any Utah bridal photos.  The long reeds or the shores of the Great Salt Lake make for amazing views that complement any bride.  I also just love Jordan’s headpiece.  It was the perfect compliment to her stunning wedding dress.  All together the perfect picture of a bride! I love photographing out at Saltair.  Sometimes Saltair is buggy and stinky but it always makes for great wedding photography.  I love that Jordan just did her Utah bridal photos by herself without the groom.  Utah bridal photos can be such a bonding experience for a mom and the bride.  Saltair was so much fun and so pretty.  Saltair can look just like the beach!

Ravenberg photography specializes in Utah wedding photography and does not travel outside of Utah at this time.  I love focusing my wedding photography work inside the state of utah.  Keeping wedding photography local I feel is important to understanding your local utah bride and groom.  Understanding Utah culture and utah locations helps me to be a better utah wedding photographer.  I love being so close to my couples to help them throughout their wedding photography planning stages of the wedding planning process.  I love being a utah wedding photographer!

Wedding Grand America Hotel

Wedding Grand America Hotel: This wedding at Grand America Hotel was one of my favorite weddings this past year.  It was so lovely and beautiful!  Truly one of the grandest hotels Salt Lake City has to offer.  It is a perfect setting for an extra fancy wedding!  I loved all the details of this great wedding including the amazing ice sculpture.  I can’t wait until I can photographer another Wedding at Grand America Hotel.  Here is more of the couples love story and how they met!

In Lisa’s own words, “Our adventure began one fateful night, August 8th 2009. We both ended up at a house warming party, one that Kasey had been invited to but was almost too shy to go and that Lisa hadn’t been invited to but wasn’t about to let that stop her from tagging along with her Best Man, Dee.

Not long into the party Kasey saw Lisa from across the crowd and had to approach, but wasn’t sure just what to say… A first impression is so important, he had to say something brilliant! He eventually decided on, “Can you hand me a jello shot? The blue one, because I’ve always wanted to be a smurf but they tell me I’m too tall.”

This was by far the most ridiculous and cheesy thing Lisa had ever heard, and she instantly fell for him. She tried to play it cool, sticking close to Dee and trying to hide her interest. However, Dee quickly put an end to that by proclaiming that he had never seen Lisa fall for someone as hard or as quickly as she just had for Kasey. And that was it, all of the cards on the table.

Since that moment, the two of them have rarely been apart and plan to live that way for the rest of their lives. ”

Utah Engagements in the Snow

Red Butte Gardens Wedding

They were married outside at Red Butte Gardens.  I’m so love that venue, it’s just breathtaking for weddings! Located just outside of Salt Lake City it is truly a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos.  It fit Tonya’s personality perfectly.  Elegant but also laid back and fun.  Here is a little bit about how Frank proposed.  I think it is so  much fun to learn about my couples and their stories!

We got engaged in Hawaii.  I had no idea that Frank had snuck a ring along. The entire trip he was paranoid that it would get lost or stolen. He had planned to propose part way through the trip, but I ended up getting really sick with the flu, all of it, runny nose, sneezing, cough, fever, and aches.  So Frank spent the majority of the trip trying to stay as far away from me as possible.  Luckily I did start to feel better towards the end of the trip, so he took the opportunity to propose on the last day before we headed out.  It was simple but sweet, and I was so surprised and happy.  Even though I was sick it ended up being a wonderful trip.

Here is the couples story!  My all time favorite wedding proposal!  It’s killer just take a peek!I think our best couple claim to fame is Micah’s awesome proposal. My favorite holiday is Halloween, like, I’m obsessed with it. I thought micah might want to propose on Halloween so I kinda expected it. He asked me a few months before if he could lie to me for the sake of me not finding out about the proposal, and from then on he lied a lot 😉 I guess I’m pretty good at finding stuff out so he pulled out all the stops so I would have no idea. He faked a business trip to California, even sent me fake pictures, he made my roommate and friend lie to me about having free tickets to fear factory in salt lake. It was great. My roommate and I got “VIP” passes to skip the line and go through the haunted house together. It was awesome, and near the end there was a haunted carnival with a bunch of clowns running around. A fortune teller came up to me and said my name and led me into a dark corner. I was kinda freaked out wondering how they knew my name, if this was micah’s doing, what was happening. I dismissed the thought of a proposal because I thought micah was out of state on a business trip. The rest is kind of a blur but I remember one clown asking me all these personal questions and then from the back of the crowd of clowns micah came out, took off his mask, got down on one knee and proposed amid the chainsaws and screams of the haunted house. It might have been weird to anyone else but it was more than I could have ever dreamed. So much fun and so creative! He got someone to take pictures of the whole thing it was awesome!Utah wedding photographer photographs at the Bountiful Utah temple  The bountiful temple is the perfect mix of classy and modern bridal photos. if you are looking for a perfect fit when looking for wedding photography look into ravenberg wedding photography.  I have been photographing wedding for more than six years.  I love what I do and I love to photograph beautiful brides full of whimsical ideas and put them into motion for their weddings.  If you are getting married in salt lake city or bountiful Utah I would love to be your wedding photographer.

Salt Lake City Wedding

So I’ve decided to do something new on my blog and let my couples tell you about themselves.  It also helps me to get to know them so much better before their weddings!  I love hearing about my couples love stories!
Reed’s Version: Brook is truly the love of my life.  I was so fortunate to be golfing and have her father join us as a solo golfer.  I am sure it was my good looks and charm that won him over that day. I know it was not my golfing! towards the end of the round he gave me his daughters phone number and explained how wonderful and amazing she was. He told me to look her up on the internet and I would see this for myself. I did just that and WOW! she was all that and more. I was a bit nervous but one morning at 7:13 in the morning I felt the urge to text her. We planned a date and then I saw her at a birthday party where I was immediately taken in by her beauty and her wonderful smile. I followed her all around that party just to have many opportunities to talk with her. I left happy knowing I was going on a date with her soon. The date was so much FUN. it led to another then another and by the 3rd date I Kissed her. Woot woot. Brook you are an amazing kisser and I love you soooo much. I know you will change this so that we have something good to send in but remember I LOVE YOU FOREVER. I am so excited to marry you and be your husband. MINE
Brook’s version:  (I DID NOT change anything from the above Reed’s version.  LOL!)
My dad is an avid golfer and has long been joking about arranged marriage as a great idea.  One day golf and arranged marriage collided.  My dad was playing his front 18 holes on the golf course one morning–most players designate their “front 9 holes” or their “back 9,” but my dad was playing his morning “front 18” to be followed by a “back 18” with his friends.  This first round of golf was his warm up round and so he went by himself and was placed with two other men for the round. My soon-to-be husband’s friend had a BYU logo on his golf bag which lead to sporting, religious, and eventually life circumstances conversation.  My dad learned that my soon-to-be husband was divorced and his wing man sold him on his many (many) great qualities.  Reed is a man of character, honor, integrity, spirituality, passion, intelligence, education, and hard work. And, he chose a good wing man that day to brag on his behalf so my dad came to understand these qualities quickly.  By about the 16th hole, my dad had all but given his blessing and my phone number to Reed, unbeknownst to me.  I received a text from my dad informing me of this and a week later I finally heard from Reed.  Luckily we had many friends in common who gave me great report, otherwise, Reed and I may have never met.  Because he is such a great guy, many people were attempting to line him up.  We are giving my dad credit for an arranged marriage, and Reed has found a way to legitimize golf forever since it lead to our eternal love story.  I am a happy woman, indeed!
