caroline & josh [5.9.09]

let me tell you a little story about some of the most amazing clients of all time.

it all started out on an amazingly beautiful day in May in Salt Lake City. Josh and Caroline emerged from the Salt Lake Temple with smiles on their faces so big you would think they had hangers stuck in their mouths. These two are so in love-- and it showed.

We started the photoshoot out by taking pictures of all of their family and friends that came to celebrate their special day with them, and then snuck off to take some photos of just the bride and groom.

I want to take the opportunity now to thank Josh and Caroline SO MUCH for inspiring us-- for letting us do what we love-- for trusting us with your day that only happens once. Thank you for being so cute together-- for being yourselves in front of the camera-- and for just being the incredible couple you are.

We had such a great time with the both of you and couldn't ask for better clients! Seriously. You rocked our world. We wish you nothing but the best in the future! Thank you for everything.


For all the blog readers out there, LOOK AT HOW AMAZING OUR CLIENTS ARE... Not only did they take the time out of their crazy newlywed lives to write us the sweetest thank you note ever (please read contents below :) but they also send us a Chili's gift card. Seriously?? We love these two. Thanks again Josh & Caroline!








There's actually a little story behind this tree-- BOTH Josh & Caroline's ancestors are responsible for this tree on Temple Square-- their ancestors donated this tree-- don't worry tho, Josh & Caroline aren't close relatives-- seriously :) Except for now! Yay for Mr. & Mrs. Cushing! So now all you other photographers officially know the story behind this incredibly popular photo spot!








again, the literal family tree :)












their reception was held in this neighborhood. These men rocked this shot.


helllooooo hot ladies.


Near the end of the Temple Square shoot, we ran into a couple of Josh's (and NOW Caroline's) relatives. Here's Caroline beating up on her new family member. What do I love most about this photo? The statue on the far right of the mom dancing so elegantly with her children vs. Caroline beating up on this dude. The contrast is tear-jerking :)

"You two are amazing! I could go on for hours about how much Josh & I appreciate what you've done for us, but I'll just say a few of the reasons why I think you're so great. 1) You guys made sure we knew that it was our day and you were so accommodating to us. 2) You were so efficient. You are totally in charge of the situation, no matter what it is and that made everything run so smoothly. 3) Your talent is phenomenal. Really, phenomenal. There isn't a word out there to express how talented we believe you are! Thank you, so much. We are so grateful."   - Josh & Caroline

Again, Josh & Caroline, THANK YOU! You're the best!
