MacKenzie & Stan’s South Jordan WeddingTuesday, November 23rd, 2010

MacKenzie and Stan were married at Pioneer Hall in South Jordan – near the Gardner’s Village. And I was fortunate to be their wedding photographer. I had been looking forward to their wedding all summer and had a great time photographing their engagement photography and MacKenzie’s bridal photography.

The wedding and reception were broken up into two parts. The wedding ceremony along with wedding dinner were held at the beginning of the week and then the reception was held at the South Jordan swimming pool. The swimming pool was to encourage everyone to just relax and have fun during the reception.

There were Christmas style lights at the front of the Pioneer Hall and that really helped create a beautiful background for a number of photographs – the flower girl and the ring bearers just look adorable in this photograph.

The cake cutting turned into an EPIC cake smash where both the bride and the groom got a face full of cake. Good thing there was a swimming pool nearby and showers available to clean up. There was cake everywhere!

Wedding Cake Smash!

While I was in Disneyland I picked up a wedding themed Minnie Mouse ears as a gift as as something to wear for one of the photographs – really cute photo.

I really expected more damage to the car – but this works just fine. You don’t want to render the car undrivable – they have to get to the honeymoon!

Just married!

Dang flowers get in the way of a cake cuttingTuesday, January 19th, 2010

This photo could be perfect – the bride and groom are cutting the cake – you see their faces – you don’t see the knife… The darn flowers are in the way. I was second shooting at this La Caille wedding – and hopefully the primary photographer had another angle without flowers. The important part is to get the bride and groom’s faces.

What I should have done was to move the flowers off the table before the cake cutting began but I still like this photograph. Not every photograph comes out perfect – but hopefully most photos capture a story.

And the bride isn’t wearing a wedding ring – I zoomed in and didn’t see one. Maybe the main photographer had borrowed the rings for the ring photography.

Photographers can drive themselves nuts looking at the little details. Sometimes while looking at the little detail you miss the big picture.

Cake smash!Sunday, January 10th, 2010

Every time I look at these photographs I hear the voice of the Incredible Hulk yelling “Cake! Smash!”

I was helping photograph this wedding as a second shooter and I had the perfect angle to see the cake smash unfold. And this is the one time I will claim the title of wedding photo journalist. I was able to take about 6 frames a second with my Nikon D300 – and capture every critical moment of this cake cutting gone messy.

Sharing wedding cake

There are trends in weddings – for a long time you would never see the groom smashing cake in the bride’s face – and brides were happy – because they do spend some time on make up and looking perfect. But lately the number of cake smashings is on the rise.

And it helps to have a camera like the D300 – it has a “sport” mode that lets me capture six frames per second at 12 frame bursts. And sometimes weddings are like sporting events – if not World Wide Wrestling events.
