Wheeler Farm Luau

Ashley and Nathan's luau reception at Wheeler Farm was a BLAST!! I seriously lost track of time and ended up staying (and dancing) until 10:30pm! This group of people was just so fun to be around. And the food was amazing! Fijian cooking is, oh, so yummy. (I just love the perks of being a photographer! :) Ashley and Nate, thanks so much for choosing Creative Juice Photography! It's been so great getting to know you guys. Best of luck to you!

Carina's Head shots

I took some fun headshots of my cousin, Carina, who is an AMAZING graphic designer! She designs both digital and paper scrapbook materials, her own websites, wedding announcements, fabric--she does it all! You can check out her Carina Gardner website here, where you'll find links to all of her really cool products and fun workshops. Thanks, Carina!

Wedding Pictures on the Beach

Going to Los Angeles for Nancy & Jonathan's wedding was SO GREAT!! The night before their L.A. temple marriage, I captured the couple in the sunset on a gorgeous, secluded beach in Long Beach. It was a FANTASTIC photo shoot! Here's a (very) little taste of what's to come...

Salt Lake Temple Wedding Day

Okay, so, I don't ever think I've smiled SO MUCH at a wedding until I met Ashley!! She has this contagious smile and laugh that you just can't ignore! Loved it! Ashley and Nathan were such a fun and cute couple, and their families were so nice. THANKS, guys!! I had lots of fun. Enjoy a small sample of pics from the wedding day... and fun reception pics to come, just you wait :)

Creative Juice and Mr. bronze man

If you've never been to the Springville Art Museum you NEED to go! It's an interesting place. And it's where Cristi and I met Mr. bronze man. He was holding a bird and looking thoughtfully up into the sky. And he was kinda cute so I gave him a smooch. Hooray for bird-holding bronze men!

Before buying anything online...

hey guys, here's a helpful little tip for you...

I always buy stuff online and while surfing the web for hours for information, the pros and cons and reviews of the product, I always come across this link many web forum members post. (It's a direct link you should keep in your files.) 

ResellerRatings.com is a website that rates and documents customer reviews of most online vendors. When searching online for a product (especially an expensive one), if the price seems too good to be true it probably is! While most vendors offer fair prices, sometimes you'll come across ones who use the "bait and switch" method. What they do is offer a certain product (say, a camera) at an incredibly low price compared to other prices, then you purchase it, and they either send you a different brand, a used item, or they don't send it for months and you're left to go with a lower-quality product that they happen to have in stock.

So, just be sure to buy from a trusted vendor!

Brindy and Cody Engagements!

I know, I know. It's like 12am and I'm posting on the blog! So, my friend Brindy asked me to take her engagements and it was SO FUN! These two were a cinch to take pics of since they were SO totally into each other and didn't require much pose-coaching :) Aw... such a cute couple - I love it! Thanks, Brindy!!! So glad I got to take your engagements - yay! Here are a few from the shoot... (and I really do mean "a few" because I can't keep up with blog posts!)
