Sarah and I used to work together at BYU. She’s gorgeous, funny, and has a great design sense. In other words, I loved shooting these with her and Stephen. Can’t wait for their wedding in April!

These guys were such a blast to hang out with. They braved the snowstorm AND kept me laughing during the whole shoot. Congratulations you two!

I absolutely loved hanging out with Deanna and Chad when we shot these engagements. They are such a great couple and so totally in love! I can’t wait for their wedding in December. Congratulations you two!

The bakery we were at for the first images is Gourmandise, and if you live in Salt Lake and haven’t been there–you’ve got to try it. I can attest to you that it’s the real deal. You know a bakery is going to be good when half the people who work there are French.

We had so much fun hanging out with these two, they are a seriously awesome couple. Leslie is an Illustrator, and Brandon plays guitar in the Fictionist (read: AWESOME). I can’t wait for our next shoot, and their wedding in October.

I met these two at the Bridal Extravaganza in April, and I’m so thrilled to be working with them. Isn’t Saran gorgeous? I can’t wait for their wedding in September.

See the whole session here.

These guys are seriously awesome! Rachel and I lived in the same apartment complexes/dorms for a few years at college, so it was fun to see her and Tony together. You can check out their whole shoot here.

We now offer pre-wedding films! This has been some time in the making and we’re very excited to be able to provide our clients with more than just the standard photo shoot.

Pre-wedding films focus completely on you and your fiance, featuring beautiful shots of the two of you together in one or several locations of your choice. It can include interviews or be purely visual depending on what you’d prefer. Your film will be shot in conjunction with your bridal or engagement session, so your photos and video will complement one another perfectly.

You can check it out here, or by clicking the proofing link at the top of the page.
Here is a little introduction to some of the new features you can now enjoy:

Galleries Never Expire

First and foremost, proofing galleries never expire, so you can continue to have access to your images for years to come. Your previously expired galleries from past shoots have already been transferred, so you now have full access to them as well.

Digital Downloads

You can now purchase digital downloads of individual images. Each download comes with a copyright release for personal use. This will allow you to print the image at your photo lab of choice,or use it in your own projects. Commercial use licenses can also be purchased if needed.

New Print Options

In addition to the standard sizes that were already available, I now offer dozens of new print sizes, from panoramic to square crops and everything in between. Prints can be made on lustre or metallic paper, and are also available as canvas wraps and ThinWraps. To read more about print options, please visit my website, or our product information page.

Print Packages

You can save money when buying multiple prints by ordering Print Packages. These include wall packages with assortments of large canvas wraps and ThinWraps, as well as small print packages with multiple sizes and paper finishes.

Create a Card

You can design your own greeting cards using photos from your galleries. Choose from over 100 design templates and customize with your own text and images.

Products

If hundreds of print options, photo packages, and greeting cards aren’t enough, you can also order fun products that feature your images. We offer stickers, postcards, photo panels, magnets, key tags, and buttons.

Social Networking

You can share images from your galleries by sending email, links, and posting on Twitter and Facebook using the “be social” button in the Share menu.

Viewing Options

You can control your gallery’s viewing options from the Style menu, and even see a full screen slideshow of your images.

For more details on new features and how to use them, check out our proofing information page, and for full descriptions of all products, visit the product info page.

To celebrate the launch of this great new site, I’m offering a fifteen percent discount on any new orders made during the next two weeks. Use the coupon code LAUNCHPROMO at checkout to receive the discount. The promotion expires March 31.

Cheers!

These guys are such an awesome couple, and super fun to work with. I’m pretty sure we all almost died of hypothermia after this shoot, but we were laughing the whole time. I can’t wait for their wedding in May. Congratulations guys!

I couldn’t resist sharing one of the shots from Matt and Cheree’s engagement session this weekend, so here’s a little sweetness to start off the week. More to come soon!
