Formals in the canyon
Isn’t this couple beautiful?! I was so excited when McKenzie reached out to me to photograph a formal session with her and her fiance, Scott. I first met McKenzie lat year when I photographed her cousin’s wedding. McKenzie caught the bouquet and I recognized her as soon as I saw her email come in!
We took these pictures up at Tibble Fork Reservoir in American Fork Canyon. If you haven’t been up the canyon recently you might not know about all of the construction going on. The parking lot around the reservoir is being redone to accommodate its growing popularity with people in Utah Valley. However, on the day we took our photos, the parking lot was being repaved. We had just gotten all set up when a worker came over and asked us to move our cars. After a little bit of chaos and some new parking spots, we finally got settled in for their session.
As you can tell from their smiles, Scott and McKenzie are so in love with each other. Their first look was such a beautiful and emotional moment. I love getting to be present for and capture such an intimate moment for a couple. The moment I saw Scott see McKenzie in her gown I just knew they were a perfect couple.
We got so lucky with perfect weather during the session! I took Scott and McKenzie around the hills surrounding the reservoir for a bit of variety from the typical reservoir shots. I’m so happy with how these formals turned out! Congrats again to Scott and McKenzie on your nuptials!
