Jonathan and Allie Wedding

I've been SO busy that I've really not kept my blog up to date very well. Several weeks ago I shot a wedding for a fantastic couple, Jonathan and Allie. These two are SO photogenic that part of the reason I have not posted anything about them on my blog is that I knew I would have a hard time narrowing down my choices of pictures.

First a couple of engagement pictures:







Next, we did what I choose to call "Formals" instead of Bridals. Bridals, of course, are pictures of the bride in her wedding dress ahead of the actual wedding. These "Formals" are of both Allie and Jonathan in their wedding attire. We took these pictures at the Great Salt Lake. These were taken in January. And YES it was still cold outside! Jonathan, of course, had a suit coat on. Allie was quite the trooper putting up with the cold while we took pictures.










Then their wedding at the beautiful LDS Bountiful Temple:























Finally, they had a beautiful ring ceremony and reception and Millenial Falls Reception center:













































Some additional pictures can be found on Suzanne's blog Lookie Loo Suz because she, and my daughter Cassie, both helped me with the wedding day photography. Thanks!!!

Congratulations Marcio and Rosilene

Congratulations Márcio and Rosilene!

This wedding was special for me. I have known Rosilene since she was 2-3 years old. I met her and her family while serving a mission in Brazil. I affectionately refer to her mother as my "Brazilian mom" because she did so much to take care of me for the first 7 months of my mission. So in that sense, Rosilene is like a little sister. :)

Later in life, Rosilene and her sister Roseli, came to the U.S. and lived with our little family for about 6 months while they looked for a place to stay of there own. (long story, we've had several Brazilians who have lived with us over the years, mostly as foreign exchange students, but these two gals came up for the purpose of starting a new life in the U.S.)

And so with that background, I wish all the best to Rosilene and her soul mate Márcio. May they have long and wonderful lives together.

These are some of the pictures I captured to help them remember their wedding day:
