Camera Tests

These are some of the people that I work and go to school with at BYU. I had my camera with me one day, and so snapped some pictures before class started.















Carlyn+Kai Married! | Utah Wedding Photography

Here are some pictures from Carlyn and Kai's wedding. The first group is from their reception, which they had the night before. They had the reception at Carriage House Mill. The great part about the reception was that it was so laid back and relaxed. Carlyn had planned everything to be comfortable, and it was. There was comfort foods (more about the foods below), and their was family. There was a room just for the kids to play in, there was enjoyable music, and there was lots of space to mill around and enjoy the festivities.

The second group of pictures is from the sealing at the Provo Temple and the luncheon at Pizzaria 712, which is amazing.







I first met Carlyn at the Farmers Market when she was doing a project on locally grown food. We talked about food for a while, and the rest of our friendship pretty much grew as a result of food. Carlyn has a magical touch when it comes to food. Also, she is WAY into locally grown food. So, all the food you see here was MADE by Carlyn from locally grown ingredients. The apples in the apple pie came from the orchard behind her house, the pumpkins are from a Provo farm. There were pepper jams she made from her garden peppers, and honey from her grandfather's beehives. She ground the wheat herself. So awesome.



















As per her usual awesomeness, Carlyn and Kai opted for simplicity. Carlyn made the skirt she is wearing, and went for a classy white outfit with some simple accents.















This girl is so adorable. I am going to have a whole post just about her. She was very excited to have her pictures taken, so I have a couple of her.

Author Photos

Well, the time came that I needed some author photos.

"Why?" you ask. Good question.

Well, this Friday, December 3, at 12 noon, I will be reading an essay as part of the BYU English Reading Series. There will be two other student readers, one each in poetry and fiction. (I know that the fiction is my friend Emily Belanger, but I don't know who the poet will be.)

So, come hear me and some of the other great writers read their stuff. The reading will be held in the Library Auditorium, which is on the first floor of the library, just to the left of the atrium stairs.

There will be refreshments afterward!






Special thanks to my brother Andrew who actually snapped the shutter, after some brief coaching on composure and how auto focus works.

Monique and Ethan | Utah Family Photography

A few days ago I took some pictures with my friends, among them Monique and her son Ethan. I will have the rest of the pictures up soonish, but Monique was going out of town and needed the pictures early, so I got hers done first. Here is some pictures of her and her cute son.





I think that this one is my favorite.




We had such a cool sunset that night!


Carlyn+Kai Married! | Wedding Preview

Well, I have a ton of pictures to go through for Carlyn and Kai's wedding last Saturday, but I promised them that I would get a preview up soon, so here are some pictures from their wedding day, and some pictures we took the night before.









Hope you enjoy these while I get the rest done.

Happy Thanksgiving!
