chris + stephanie // engagements // ken caryl, co

have i ever told you that i love my clients? oh, once or twice (or five billion) times? sorry about that. but i mean, i just really, really do!

chris is a friend from my byu days, and stephanie is a friend of a friend from byu (such a small, little world we live in!), so when i found out that they were engaged to be wed and they called me up for their wedding photography, i couldn’t have been happier! they both currently live outside of colorado, so we set up an engagement session over the holidays while we were all in town.

i love these two– and this wintery session– so much! stephanie + chris are such sweet individuals with a shy (but beautiful!) kind of love. and getting the chance to capture it was definitely worth the frost bite! 😉

i really can’t wait for their wedding this spring!

featured // aisle perfect

without a doubt, one of my favorite parts of being a utah and maryland based destination wedding photographer is getting the chance to create work intended to inspire brides.

stylized inspiration shoot weeks are some of the most stressful weeks for me– but definitely some of the best weeks! i love collaborating with talented and inspired vendors and creating the prettiest of wedding scenarios.

you might remember one of my favorite stylized shoots of all time that i posted back in november. i got to work with some of salt lake’s best and created some of my favorite images! well, i’m thrilled to announce that this gorgeous shoot is about to get some great press! it was published today on the beautiful wedding blog, aisle perfect, and it’s set to be featured on a few other blogs over the upcoming months!

you can check out the aisle perfect feature here. let me know what you think!!!

karson // missionary portraits // boulder, co

karson is one of those people that you just can’t help but love.

she is sweet and smart and stylish and so full of life.

over the summer, i headed up to gorgeous boulder, colorado to capture some last images of the lovely karson before she headed out for her lds mission in lyon, france. i love shooting lds missionary portraits because there’s a certain excitement about them that really very few other sessions offer. their energy is almost tangible– their excitement and anticipation and nerves. i love catching a glimpse into their experience and hearing what they expect, what they’re looking forward to, what they’re worried about, etc.

but mostly, i just love photographing these beautiful individuals and seeing their desire to sacrifice so much to serve their God. and with karson, there was really no exception! i love this girl’s smile, her optimism, + her kindness. and her patience! we may or may not have gotten eaten alive by mosquitos to grab that last shot in the patch of flowers. seriously though, i think i had bites covering my legs for weeks…

really, though. isn’t she beautiful? france sure is lucky to have such an exceptionally lovely missionary! and i hear she’s been doing really great things whilst serving the people of france.

avec amour,

anna

featured // the wedding atlas

my day always gets about a million times better when i stumble across some of my work on national wedding blogs. i’ve been published three times previously on a wedding atlas site, but i was even more honored this time around to find my work on the main, nation-wide favorites page.

thanks for making me look good, elise + esteban! 

and if i can tell you a secret…

this shoot just might make its way on a few more industry blogs before the season is up! woo hoo!
