Craig & Jackie’s Wedding!

Kelli Nicole — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 06:44:16 +0000

If you remember their engagements you'll remember that Craig and his family are favorites . Friends since Craig's 14th birthday, and they've done so much for me over the years! Hopefully I'll be around when a few more of the 5 kids get married (Craig's the oldest).

I flew into Utah a few days before the wedding (which was in October, yes I'm way behind on blogging), but my second-shooter didn't fly in until the night before. Due to crazy weather he got stranded in Denver (not fun, we don't have good luck there). The next morning was a mad rush to the airport, getting the rental car, and then driving the several hours to Manti! We got there just a few minutes before they got out of the temple. It was a cold day in Manti!

First public kiss!

Yes, I'm hardcore in my Gap kid's beanie and shootsac. When I'm shooting I strangely don't even feel the cold! That is, until my fingers go numb and I can't find the shutter button .

And then Craig decided to join me. Jackie stayed under the warmth of a blanket between shots .

Favorite!

I'm pretty sure Jackie made both of these cakes, can you believe that?! So if you're in Utah and need a cake made...

Congratulations! Can't wait to see you all again!

Whitney’s Maternity Pictures!

Whitney is another amazing friend from the photography program (in addition to all my photo friends having babies, 3 of my freshmen roommates are pregnant). She recently had her little girl and I'm finally getting around to posting some of these pictures! I was in Utah for a wedding and it was perfect timing so we could do this shoot! Whitney chose the location, which I loved, and she stuck with it even though it was freezing. We did very few pictures in short-sleeves before she changed into something warmer!

Her husband was able to meet us and we got some adorable pics of them together . As a photographer I don't think she gets many!

Downtown SLC family!

Had such fun with this family going downtown in SLC! I absolutely loved their sense of style and the colors they put together!

The next two are two of my favorites!!

Whitney & Nick!

Whitney and Nick had a small intimate wedding in the summer, but after I photographed her sister's bridals and wedding I was able to go back and photograph the newlyweds! Whitney is so gorgeous and I didn't even touch her eyes to make them lighter or bluer than they already are!

Megan and Cliff’s Wedding!

Kelli Nicole — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:09:00 +0000

On the morning of Megan and Cliff's wedding it poured. There were a lot of worried people, but as soon as the lovely couple stepped through the front doors of the Provo, UT Temple the skies parted and out came the sun! Besides a little wind at the reception later, it was a beautiful day!

The reception was at Megan's parents' home, which is where we did their bridals here, and everything looked amazing! All the little details came together so perfectly.

Megan gave Cliff a thumbs up (for not smashing the cake in her face, I assume).

Their favorite little nephew .

First dance! If I remember correctly, they danced to Elvis!

Congratulations!

Megan and Cliff

I knew Megan back when we were both freshman at BYU! She lived next door to me and I recall being amazed that she wore a 3 or 4 shoe size (correct me if I'm wrong, Megan!). We didn't really see each other or speak again until recently when she asked me to shoot her bridals and we figured out that I was available for her wedding too! We did this shoot at her parent's house. It was stunning. I am so lucky.

Megan and Cliff met in class (they're both going to Law School!). They are going to have some SMART (and beautiful) kids.

Her adorable little sisters wore their flower girl dresses so we got some shots of them too! Can you believe they all lucked out with that amazing hair and those blue eyes?!

Due to some construction I was able to climb into a dried-up pond to take this picture. I believe this is also where Cliff proposed. So sweet.

This shoot went soooo amazingly and I can't wait for the wedding!!

Aren't they gorgeous?? More coming soon...

Emily and Peter

Kelli Nicole — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:39:00 +0000

When I booked this wedding, on my twin sister's due date, I thought, "Oh, babies are only born on their due date about 5% of the time and most first time moms typically go about 10 days late, no biggie." Guess who decided to come on her due date? And guess who barely made it back in time for the birth? My last nephew that was born came 4 weeks early the day I graduated from college (I missed commencement, barely made it to graduation). I think it's some kind of conspiracy.

Anyway, I digress.

Emily and Peter had such a lovely wedding and I was so honored to get to spend the day with them. The details all came together beautifully and I loved that they added their own unique style to the day (check out the groom's cake below!).

They looked so happy to be together.

The wedding cake was cheesecake! This is my kind of wedding!
YUM.

Congratulations! It was wonderful to be there.

Karen and Chandler engaged!

Kelli Nicole — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:20:00 +0000

This was my first real shoot with my 5D Mark II! It actually got rescheduled due to the torrential downpours Utah was experiencing. I heard that out of 17 days it rained 12 of them. What is this?? So I actually had to leave my sister while she was in labor to do this shoot, lol (the baby still didn't come for nearly another day).

I met Karen last year on a trip to Mexico with a non-profit group called Kaiizen. They go with huge groups of mostly college students to orphanages down there and put on parties for the kids along with service such as building schools and painting murals. I can still remember Karen talking all about Chandler on the drive down there . The trips are always a lot of fun and a great way to meet awesome people! Awesome people like Karen.

Favorite.

Another favorite.

Their eyes are killing me.

Brittney and Brett!

Kelli Nicole — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:11:00 +0000

Brittney was my roommate my last semester/year at BYU (I continued bumming on the couch sporadically after I came back from Africa) and she's the first from our apt to get married . I got all the texts throughout the beginning of their relationship about first dates, holding hands, and first kisses. So fun to finally get to meet the guy! Congratulations! Can't wait for the wedding!
