Abby + Jared • Mountain Engagements

Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to document Abby and Jared's engagements! Abby was actually in my home Stake growing up in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Our families had game nights all together! I have some cool memories with the Henrie family. 

Abby and Jared are a sweetheart couple. They both are on their last few semesters at BYU-I with Abby in Exercise Physiology and Jared in Neurobiology. I love how carefree Jared and Abby are. They could do be doing anything together and they would be enjoyed it. When I asked Jared to slow dance with Abby I asked what their song was and they told me Perfect by Ed Sheeran. This song seems totally them! And I loved seeing Jared open the car door for Abby the moment they arrived and as they left.

The day before Abby and Jared‘s engagement session we had 40+ mph winds! I'm so glad that it ended up being a beautiful day. We enjoyed some time up at Kelly Canyon and the grass was just barely turning green! Abby and Jared will be getting married at the Idaho Falls Temple. Jake and I were married at the Idaho Falls Temple as well so it holds a special place in my heart! Can’t wait to be a part of these two’s wedding in June!

Andrew + Jordin • Mountain Engagements

I met Andrew the day after I met my husband, Jacob. So I have known him for quite some time. He's been one of my greatest friends throughout the years. I still remember him sitting in our apartment this winter swiping through Tinder when he said something along the lines of, "Guys! This girl says she's a special snowflake looking for the sharpest crayon". Andrew was hooked. He had to meet Jordin after seeing that creativity on her bio. They've been inseparable since.

There is no one more perfect for Andrew than Jordin. She is seriously one of the most down to earth girls I know! She brings out the absolute best in Andrew. We adventured to the mountains for their engagements and we had the dreamiest fog! I have wanted to shoot in fog for so long and it finally happened! It couldn't have happened on a better session. I love these two so much. I'm so very grateful for their friendship, their sense of adventure, (even when they want to go to corn mazes in below freezing temps 😂 ), and their kindness.  And they hired me to document their Washington Wedding this winter!!! Jacob and I get to visit Washington again and I couldn't be more stoked! 

Nikki + Steffen • Kelly Canyon Engagements

I met Nikki back at the Marry Market in March. It was a spring bridal fair hosted and held by The Venue in Rigby. I had the chance to chat with Nikki for a few minutes there. She entered my engagement/bridal session giveaway and won! This shoot has been in the works for a couple months, and I'm so glad we were able to make it happen this past weekend! 
We decided to meet up at Kelly Canyon for Nikki and Steffen's engagement session. Kaige came for a couple family shots which just made the entire session that much better. Kaige's little smile was so contagious! Just look at him! And Steffen brought his show truck. Props are actually becoming a new favorite for me. They bring variety and personality into your images. And the classy shots we got with Steffen's show truck were fantastic! 
I'm thrilled for Nikki and Steffen to tie the knot. Enjoy some of my favorites from their engagement session!
