Oh my! Where do I even begin? Steffany and I have been best friends since we were born. We grew up down the street from each other. We’re the kind of friends that doesn’t need to text or call every few days to check in. We just know that we’re best friends. When I got […]

Ode to the tulips! Oh Thanksgiving Point… is there anything more stunning or beautiful? Nate and Kimi are having a garden wedding. In fact most of their wedding is themed with floral designs and such. This was the absolute perfect setting for their engagement session. Usually I shoot bridals here, but I knew what Kimi’s […]

I don’t know why I didn’t post these earlier. Haylie was married in the summer and we shot her bridal session in the Thanksgiving Point large gardens. What’s the best part about shooting in these gardens? Well, my personal opinion is the golf cart. I always get to drive it too! Fabulous! It’s super tricky […]

Josh and Melissa wanted their bridal session taken at the Salt Lake Temple as well as Thanksgiving Point so that they wouldn’t need as much time for photos on the wedding day. They are from Las Vegas, so we shot this session 2 days before their wedding day. I am so excited to process their […]

I always leave some room during the session to have a little fun. If you are in need of family portraits in the winter season there are only a couple of great spots to shoot. Thanksgiving Point is one of those! There’s a $75 photo pass that you’ll need to purchase, but it’s definitely worth […]

Yep… They totally dropped the groom! This is not the first time I’ve seen this happen. I designed their sign in album. I sell 10×10 – 20 page custom designed sign in albums for $195. I LOVED working with this candid beautiful couple. They had so much fun on their wedding day. It made for […]

Tomorrow is Kristen’s wedding in Manti. I love shooting at the Manti Temple. The drive is not really my fav. We shot in Logan today. It took us 3 hours to get home with construction and accidents. Yikes!Anyway… I shot Kristen’s senior portraits. She grew up in the same neighborhood that I did. She is […]

I had such a blast at Kristyn’s bridal session. Kristyn is from Colorado, so she had her friend come. Typically the bride’s mom comes, but in this case Kristyn was really candid and silly and fun. It was so great to capture all of the laughs. I LOVED it! McKenzie DeakinsUtah Wedding Photographerwww.photographybymckenzie.com

Dane Thomas is my stepbrother. We’ve pretty much grown up in each other’s lives. Stephanie is such a cute cute girl! I was thrilled when they announced that they were getting married. I have blogged so many photos on this wedding because my cute little Ellie was a flower girl. 🙂 So of course I […]
