photo native styled shoot // utah wedding photographer

Honestly, there are no words to describe the magic of this collaboration. I feel so blessed to have been able to be an instructor at Photo Native this year and create this styled shoot for such a wonderful class! Allison Baddley (La Fete Floral) and I spent months trying to scheme up the perfect balance between modern, clean lines and a hint of whimsy. We wanted the shoot to have layers of black, white, gray and cognac with a pops of color in the floral elements.  So much work goes into putting together a shoot like this and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner for the job! I hope you enjoy this shoot even a bit as much as I enjoyed photographing it. My amazing vendors are listed below, I can’t thank you all enough.

Lauren + Chris // Newport Beach Wedding

A wedding with AMOROLOGY is always a treat, and Lauren and Ryan’s nuptials were no exception! I always love to shoot in Southern California and the LDS Newport Temple is just so gorgeous. I am especially thrilled that it was featured on GREEN WEDDING SHOES today! Here’s what they had to say…

“Inspired by their love for the beautiful outdoors, Lauryn’s desire for lots of green and candles and, most of all, Coldplay’s “A Sky Full of Stars” – the song that reminds them of one another – Lauryn + Ryan’s whimsical, rustic wedding is sure to inspire.

They worked with the amazing team at Amorology to bring that vision to life + entrusted Jessica Kettle Photography to capture all the details. Sheridan from Amorology shares, To create their evergreen wedding we created a place setting of plates and glassware that mixed gold, deep mauve, blush and burgundy tones on top of wooden tables and chairs resembling the strongest trees only found deep in the beautiful forest. Each place setting had a card designed by the talented Peanut Press Creative (who also created the couple’s invitation suite) that read “Cause in a sky full of Stars, I think I found you” from the couple’s favorite song. Beautiful soft blush table runners set the foundation for romantic florals by Twigg Botanicals. The centerpieces incorporated dahlias, anemones, and garden roses in different shades of burgundy, blush and ivory with plenty of greenery to go around. Candles and lovely fall pears were scattered down the middle of the tables to help set the romantic feeling for the evening.”

Aman + Sonu Sangeet

This wedding. How do I even begin? It was my first Indian wedding and I was on pins and needles with excitement. I liked Aman and Sonu immediately during our consultation and even more so after our engagement session. They are such kind, warm people and so easy to talk to. Their sangeet (the henna party that took place the evening before the wedding) was more lively, beautiful and colorful than most people’s weddings. I just had to give it a proper post, just to give you the tiniest peek into the wonder that was their wedding day (coming NEXT!). All of the credit for the lovely details and planning go to AMOROLOGY, who I will never, ever get enough of.

Ali + Will // Utah Wedding Photographer

This lovely wedding was just featured on BRIDES.COM and I couldn’t be happier! Ali and Will’s classic fall wedding is one I won’t soon forget. Ali was such a stunning bride and every detail was perfection, thanks to Martha Hatfield, an event coordinator I TRULY can’t say enough amazing things about. It’s hard to find a planner with a true artist’s eye AND the unique skill of being incredibly organized and able to handle all the ins and outs of planning a wedding. Not to mention, the kind of personality that can keep everyone calm and relaxed on the big day. Martha is an absolute GEM. Ali and Will, it was an honor to be a part of your wedding.
