With the wedding I shot last weekend and as we get closer to Valentine’s Day I get the feeling that love is in the air. I don’t take on many weddings each year, but there is something undeniable about how much I love them…Weddings are a magical time, a time where the bride and groom are the stars of the day. A time where all your planning and dreams of your wedding day are finally becoming reality. A time that you will remember for the rest of your lives. I love the details of a wedding, all the little thoughts that have come together to set the stage for the moment you and your loved one become tied to each other for the rest of your lives.

Shooting a wedding for me is about more than just the one day. I love to meet couples for their engagement shoots, later for bridals with the bride alone and then for the big day itself. Sometimes a bride and I can’t find a time before the wedding for the bridals so we can always do them after the big day, either alone or with the groom if he feels up to it. If you’re newly engaged…or about to be 😉 or have been engaged for a while, I would love to talk more with you about the wedding packages available from carrieowensphotography.

and now for the thursday three things for this Thursday before Valentine’s Day:

thing one

engagements…these photos of the happy couple were taken at Wheeler Farm, one of my very favorite spots:

thing two

ceremonies…not something that I get to do very often here in Utah, but I absolutely love them. This one took place at the beautiful Le Jardin in Sandy, Utah.

thing three

bridals are great fun and can be taken at many locations. For this session both bride and groom came dressed and ready for some fun shots at Temple Square.
