Pre-Wedding Formals

When I photograph a wedding I always encourage a bride and groom to take formal photographs before their wedding day. This is a growing trend in photography that I love!  Formals are a great opportunity to ensure beautiful photographs are captured of you without the hustle and rush of your wedding day. If possible, I also love to capture the first images when a bride and groom see each other for the first time.  Those are special and priceless moments!  Because these images are taken weeks before your wedding it also allows time to have photos of you on display at one of your wedding events.  These photographs do not replace your same day wedding photographs, but are done in addition to them.

On my wedding day we actually had freezing cold winds and a snow storm that made it not as fun to be out in the snow. (It was January, which is a COLD month in Cache Valley).  That day at the Logan Temple there were several other weddings at the same time (ironically one of them being Chelsea, Chase’s sister!).  We were lucky and photographed our formals on a day that was more temperate for us to be outside.  Taking our photos before our wedding day allowed for us to be wherever we wanted, without rushing around other people.

I loved the opportunity to visit the Salt Lake Temple and photograph this beautiful couple.  Chase & Yeon Mi definitely know how to have fun!  We played games and laughed throughout our session together.   Yeon Mi’s wedding dress is gorgeous.  I think that it is perfect for her personality and I’ve never seen a dress like it.   To see their engagements click here.
