Ashley Bridals Sneak Peek!

So Ashley, if you're reading this, I'm still working on getting all my files transferred to jpeg. But here's some teasers to tide you over for a bit.

For everyone else, Ash had the idea to do some of her bridals at a Ford dealership, seeing as her fiance's last name is Ford so she'll be one here in two weeks! Many thanks to Champion Ford Dealership in Sandy for letting us use the cars and pretty do whatever we wanted :) It was rad.

Kayla's Bridals

I've held off on posting these because Kayla didn't want Lance to see her in her dress, and although I highly doubt he checks my blog, I just wanted to make sure :) So since Kayla's wedding was yesterday, she gave me free rein to post them however much I want.

Kayla was so gorgeous, we took these photos at the Garden Park Ward downtown. It's beautiful, and best of all, it's free! Why pay to shoot at La Caille ($200 an hour, appointment necessary) or Thanksgiving Point ($100) when you can go here? My thoughts exactly.

Holly and Layne

So this post is a little late in the making. But at least I'm getting to it, right? Anywho, Layne and Holly's wedding was beauiful, Holly was gorgeous and it was a joy to shoot. On top of that, Holly was quite the trooper as she was recovering from the H1N1 virus. But you couldn't even tell she felt ill, so kudos on that Holly!

P.S. I will add more pics later. I just got a new laptop and haven't shifted over all the pics from my external hard drive yet. Or you could just go to my website at http://rasheajenkins.webs.com :P

Jackie and Devan Sneak!

Alright, so I had the wonderful opportunity to second shoot and assist for the amazing Alisha Stamper over (http://www.alishastamper.com/). We shot Jackie and Devan in Stansbury Park (over by Tooele for those not familiar with the area) at the Millpond Spa. Beautiful place! I want to go back there for a day of relaxation and awesomeness.

Anywho, the day went beautifully, I learned a ton from Alisha, and think everything went really well. The ceremony was done and over with in a record 5 minutes (actually I think it was less than that). But it was beautiful. The couple was beautiful, the day was beautiful, and the pics were beautiful.

Tate's Photoshoot

Check out Tate's utter awesomeness~

Tate works at This is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City, so that's where he wanted to do the shoot. I'm so glad I was able to shoot there! And I can't wait to go back in the future with a bride or a couple, because seriously, that place is amazing.

We shot for about 3 hours, and Tate and I were laughing for most of it. There were so many great little nooks and crannies that we shot in, and it was even better because we got to ride around in a golf cart. We tried to get some ducks and bunnies in a few shots, but let's just say they were a little less than cooperative. That aside, I really loved this shoot. So many of the photos turned out great because Tate was really relaxed and happy.

I think I'll definitely go back, not to shoot again, but because I like historical sites like that. The houses and buildings are beautiful, and I'm a nerd. I love the history behind places like that. Plus it overlooks the whole Salt Lake Valley, it's quite breathtaking at sunset.

Kayla and Lance Engagements!

This is Kayla and Lance, a beautiful couple that just could not stop laughing throughout the entire shoot, but it was adorable and made for some really great shots. As a photographer I strive to capture emotions, that's what really makes photos memorable. That's also why I don't particularly care for orchestrating every move with my subjects. Sure I'll make suggestions and direct a little, but it's so much more important to let that chemistry, and in this case, love, shine through. Thanks to Kayla and Lance for being so much fun to work with.
