Nizhoon & Sascha Engagements | Utah Wedding Photographer

They met on E-Harmony.  yup.  The online dating site WORKS!!!!  Nizhoon was super skeptical in it all, but it turns out that if it wasn’t for the internet dating awesomeness, she would have never met Sascha.  They’ve been doing the long distance thang for about a year now, and felt it was about time to actually go for it and get married!  I’m so excited for them.  They are such a HOT couple.

Here’s why:

First of all…I am totally loving their names.  I’m thinking they’re going to have to keep coming up with awesome names for their kids because a simple “Sarah” won’t do if your mom’s name is Nizhoon and your dad’s name is Sascha (sorry all you Sarah’s out there…Sarah is a lovely name :) )

They really are HOT together.  Chemistry.  Period.

They are so fun and real.  Nizhoon is my girl! :)  I’m loving that she said, “Sascha is the first “white meat” she’s dated…”  Well, and Nizhoon is Sascha’s first “dark meat,” too.  Okay..I’m totally getting hungry right now so I’ll stop with the meat thing.

I love that they just laugh together and can be goofy together.

Thanks Nizhoon and Sascha for having me photograph this time in your life!  So excited for your crazy plans!:)  Love you both!

I must say…the picture to the right is just hawt…hawt….get a room guys!  hahaha….

nizhoon, you are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!

THE BLIIING!

Anderton Family | Utah Family Photographer

Muray contacted me about doing a family session after she saw the post on the tree.  Yup.  The tree that I love so much.  So we scheduled a session which ended up getting canceled because of the crazy weather.  We were finally able to shoot there–thank goodness for the weather cooperating lately because I’m up to my ears in rescheduling shoots!  ha!

The Andertons were such a joy to photograph…little Cole was as funny as can be.  It took a little while for him to warm up to me, but when he did, he wouldn’t even sit still long enough for me!  He was full of energy and so fun!  I loved his “bubbly” funny faces that he would make.  Such a character!

Thank you so much for having me photograph your beautiful family!  Can’t wait to show you the rest!;)

I love these B&W.  I would make these large canvases in my home.  just sayin…;)

you are beautiful Muray!  And I LOOOOOVE your name.

canvas collage in little Cole’s room?  I think so..:)

Andrew & Victoria Engaged | Utah Wedding Photographer

I’m so excited to finally get this session posted!  I met Victoria & Andrew at Victoria’s sister’s wedding about a year ago…when they had first started dating.  I half jokingly told them that they would have to hire me as their photographer when they got married.  Little did I know that they would in fact be getting married almost a year from that day!  I’m extremely excited for them.  Really love these two. :)  They are just the perfect couple–and might I add that they are simply friggin’ gorgeous with their model selves….

This engagement shoot was a little different than most of my shoots, as I worked with Enge Chen Films to do a special “documentary” style video for Andrew & Victoria’s wedding.  We had this idea to incorporate the little chalk board for the two love birds to write special notes to each other.  I can’t wait to see what Enge came up with on her end.:)

Thanks Andrew and Victoria for being troopers throughout the whole session.  It was long…but I hope worth it!  You guys are amazing and I love working with you two!  Can’t wait for the groomals!:)  I promise we’ll get the swiss house and red barn in then!  hahahaha….

Here’s some shots I got from the shoot…hope you likey.

Andrew and Victoria writing messages to each other…awwww…aren’t they so cute?!?
