Matt & Rachel - {Utah Engagement Photograper}

We were so excited when my brother-in-law Matt announced his engagement to Rachel! They have been dating for a while, but Matt had said he wanted to get a few things in order before jumping into marriage (yes, he really is Mr. Responsible!). Happily, things came together for him much sooner than expected, so he is taking his sweetheart to the alter.

Both Matt and Rachel are very quiet and conservative. I admit, this posed a challenge when we planned their engagement session. I wanted to be able to tell a story of the two of them, but I needed to keep it simple and fun.

We headed to BYU campus in Provo, UT. Things have changed a lot since I went to school there (nearly a decade ago, now!). The campus was always beautiful, but now it is even more so. I loved the boardwalk around the duck pond, and all the new features all around the south end of the campus. BTW, on a side note, I helped plant a lot of the botany garden around that end of campus. It was my responsibility to take care of a lot of it and oversee the daily care of the plants, many of which we had imported, or I had grown from seed. So fun to see how much it has grown! Go check it out if you ever get the chance:-)

Okay, back to the happy couple:-) Due to some really yucky traffic, we got started much later than I had planned, and unfortunately lost the light very quickly. No worries, though, as I had three portable lights to work with, so all was well!


I am really looking forward to their wedding, which takes place in a couple short weeks! Yay! Here are some of my faves from their session:



If I were his mom, this would be my favorite image:-)

I love the relationship these two have. So sweet together!

LOL, Laurel, you are so cute! I don't think we lost the light quite that fast, but it sure didn't want to stick around long! Funny thing, all my engagement sessions lately have been done after dark. Is this becoming a trend?
