Fabulous Fall Styled Shoot - Southern Utah Photographer

I know it's technically still winter time but I just had to show off this styled session that I was a part of last fall. It was amazing to work with so many vendors in the wedding industry and I definitely learned a lot from all of them!

Models: Kaitlin and Dakota Murdock
Hair and Make-up by Macy Dockstader
Flowers and Styling by Simply Shani Weddings
Furniture from Angie Erickson
Dress from My Amazing Wedding Dress
Jewelry from Paparazzi by Ashlee
Video done by the fabulous Red Tie Cinema
and of course photos by yours truly :)

I worked super close with Shani to come up with a beautiful fall color palette that I loved. She and I also worked together on the reed and dry grass arch. The best part is that most brides could make this themselves! We just drove around and found stuff that we wanted to use!

We decided to have the photo shoot in the ghost town Grafton. I love all of the different textures there from the old wood to sandstone colored brick. It was just awesome!

Vendor Feature - My Amazing Wedding Dress

Oh my goodness! I love Elena at My Amazing Wedding Dress! She is so fun to work with and I think she is doing awesome things!
She helps brides get their DREAM WEDDING DRESS! Like seriously, you can design it yourself basically!
Back in May I got together with her to do a styled shoot and she brought along a few of her dresses.
They are so beautiful!
The best part about My Amazing Wedding Dress is that it is totally affordable! If I had my wedding to do all over again, I would DEFINITELY use Elena at My Amazing Wedding Dress!
We're collaborating again for another photo shoot this fall so stayed tuned! :)

Vendor Feature - Simply Shani Weddings -

I'm going to start doing Vendor features here on the blog and they can range from boutiques, to wedding planners, to a Makeup artist.

Today's Feature is Shani from Simply Shani Weddings: facebook.com/SimplyShaniWeddings

I first reached out to Shani about doing a Styled session in May. This was the first time I was putting together a styled session and I was SOOOO nervous that she would say she wasn't interested (being turned down is a big fear of mine, especially when I reach out.) But of course she said she would LOVE to and totally worked with me on theme and color palette and everything! She wasn't able to be there for the actual photo shoot, but everything still turned out great!
You can see pictures from that shoot here

Then last month she reached out to me about shooting a wedding cake that she was submitting to an online floral store blog to be featured. I of course was honored that she asked me and even though the setting was not ideal, I still thing we got great pictures of the cake. And seriously, the pictures don't do justice how amazing it was!

So really, for ALL of your wedding needs, you need to talk to Shani. She is so organized and so creative! She does cakes, bouqets, decorating, styling, she even told me she occationaly does hair and make-up. She's AMAZING! You need to contact her!

A few words from Shani: Tia does an amazing job! I'm a wedding planner and I've seen hundreds of bridal sessions. Tia is one of the best.
