noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:46:00 +0000

Hey gang, sorry I've been absent for some time. I have been shooting like a mad man and will have so much to share once I have a day to actually sit down and work on my blog posts :) I am off to shoot another wedding today, but I wanted to let you guys know that Tiffany will be doing a booth for me at the Grand America Show in Salt Lake City from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, so stop by and see her. Brides print off this ticket for free admission :)

Stevie Bridals

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 06:00:00 +0000

OK, sorry about the delay folks, I went out of town to shoot a fabulous wedding in Sunny Las Vegas over the weekend and got a little distracted. However, I am back and have some hot photos to share. Nick, if you are even thinking about peeking at these photos, so help your soul boy. No peeky peek. I am very proud of this shoot and Stevie looked amazing. We all met in Salt Lake, and by all, I mean Me, Shanda, Stevie and 4 of her bridesmaids. Stevie was kind enough to bring me some belated birthday gifts that meant a lot to me :) She baked me homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (my fav) and got me a toy squishy banana, lol, (inside joke because we both love Charlie the Unicorn....see episode 2). Phazes salon in Ogden did a smokin job on Stevie's make up. Plus Stevie knows how to work the camera like a supermodel, you go girl. I so can't wait for Stevie and Nick's wedding next month :) These two have become such awesome friends.

ATB-Stars come out

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 03:02:00 +0000

Hey guys, I know you are all waiting for more posts and I promise, they are coming and they will blow you away. I have been shooting and can't wait to share what I've been up to. I thought while you guys were waiting, I would share with you one of my all time favorite songs. Stars come out by ATB. This song is so beautiful and is something that I love to blast very loud and just chill to. It relaxes me and I love listening to this when I have had a bad day. It's one of those rare songs that I can listen to over and over and over and never grow tired of. What do you guys listen to for relaxation or to cheer you up or just chill to? Please share.

Night at the Davis County Fair

noreply@blogger.com (Tiffany Izatt) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 02:18:00 +0000

So on Wednesday some friends of ours Jake and Chuck invited me to go with them and their kids to the Davis County Fair with them. It was the opening night and Dustin was shooting Stevie's bridals, so I thought what the heck, he is having fun, and went with them. We met up with some other friends and we all headed to the fair.

We shot Jake and Chuck's wedding last May and since then we have become close friends. They are so freaking sweet! I love that they have included us in their family! I am going to be bummed when school starts for me and summer ends, because they have been so awesome to hang out with.

I am so excited that they just started a blog too!

The first place that we headed to when we got there was to the petting zoo, where Cameron saw the cows and started mooing! Then we proceeded to the food, then we headed over to some more animal areas where we saw this awesome hen/rooster/bird that looked like it had boots, it was awesome! After that we hit the rides, and the kids LOVED them, then the night ended with Fireworks.

What a fun night

Last week we went with Jake and Chuck to the Weber County Fair where the girls tried their hand at rock climbing

Cory Ann Bridals

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 06:11:00 +0000

Zach, no peeking allowed ;)

Ok, now that Zach is gone, here is a bridal session I did for his lovely bride Cory Ann. Their wedding is fast approaching next month and is going to be so much fun. I loved Cory Ann's dress. Thanks once again to my best buddy Tavis Johnson for coming along and assisting me with this shoot.

Robyn Bridals

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 05:51:00 +0000

Here's another great bridal shoot I did last week for one of my sweet family members Robyn :) Robyn is just the sweetest girl and has such a great sense of humor. I am getting so excited for her and Aaron's wedding next month. They are getting sealed at the Bountiful Temple so Robyn decided to have her bridals taken there. Stay tuned ;)

Carly and Tyler Engagements....Starring Wesley

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:44:00 +0000

I had such a fun time shooting Carly and Tyler's engagements :) Carly brought along her son Wesley, and I hope she doesn't mind me saying, but I didn't even know that he was not Tyler's. Tyler and him get along so well and Tyler is so good with Carly and Wesley, I wanted to give him props. These guys are the perfect family and I can see how Wesley grew on Tyler. He is the most adorable little boy ever. It took him a little bit to warm up to me, I started off as the Camera Man, lol, and then he started helping me roll my camera bag down the street. Such a gentleman. By the time we got to our last location, he was helping me hold some off camera flash, and I would play with him by making him say "abracadabra" to make the flash fire. On the way back to the car, he started holding my hand and finally called me Dustin. Carly and Tyler were so fun to photograph and I am so glad they brought Wesley along. After the session, Carly and Tyler were so kind to treat me to dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen. After dinner we went and got some caramel apples, yummy. It was pretty funny, after I got home, Carly had emailed me saying I made quite the impression on Wesley because he was asking to come stay the night at my house :) He is such a cute little kid and full of energy. Thank you Carly and Tyler for choosing me as your photographer and for keeping me fed away from home :) I love your guts.

This has to be my favorite one from the session, hahaha, Wesley got put in time out for a minute and was told to sit by the wall. He put on a pouty face that was too cute. I was up close shooting Carly and Tyler and stepped back a couple steps to include Wesley in the frame. Too funny and cute to pass up. This one should be blown up and hung over a mantle or living room couch :)

This is where Carly and Tyler had their first date, the Broadway Theater in SLC, so I suggested we go there for our last few shots. Thanks Wesley for using your magic word "Abracadabra" and making my flash go off :) I loved how they were kissing and Wesley just walked up and started hanging on Tyler's arms. This would make a great two series framed set with the shot above :)

Kids

noreply@blogger.com (Tiffany Izatt) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 03:18:00 +0000

Kyleigh
Oh how fast the kids grow up. Here are some photos from my iPhone

Madison
Again some more photo from my iPhone The last ones are, the first ones are ones that Dustin took a few years ago. When we 'offered' free makeup application. Madison's skill has gotten better with makeup, now it is all pink lipstick that doubles as eyeshadow

Cameron
These are just a few pictures that I have had on my iPhone.

Lindsay and Jonny Wedding 8-1-2008

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:21:00 +0000

I apologize in advance about the plethora of photos in this post, but Lindsay and Jonny's wedding was absolutely amazing and I couldn't help myself. I had such a hard time narrowing it down and wanted to post a bajillion more photos. I know you will understand what I am saying when you see the photos, this wedding was simply stunning. My absolute favorite florist Audrey of Studio Stems did all the flowers and this was some of her best work yet, truly some of the most unique arrangements I have ever seen including the ping pong balls. If you are getting married this fall or next year, you MUST give Audrey a call, she is the best in the business. Some of you may remember Lindsay's Prada shoes from her bridal session, I had to grab some more shots of them. The details were also very stunning if I do say so myself. A special thanks to my best friend Tavis Johnson who came along to second shoot with me. Also, thanks to Audrey of Studio Stems for recommending Lindsay and Jonny to me, you are the best ever :)

Congratulations Lindsay and Jonny :)

LinDee and Eric Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:07:00 +0000

Congratulations to LinDee and Eric who got married on 07/31/2008 at the Bountiful Temple. It was a short day as they only hired me for coverage at the Temple. I was very impressed when I met them on how nice they were :) not to mention good looking :) Thank you so much LinDee and Eric for choosing me as your photographer and I wish you guys the best :)

Lindsey and Doug Groomals

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:34:00 +0000

What you are about to see below is very hot and you should be warned that prolonged exposure may cause the following:

If you are married, it may bring on a strong desire to divorce your spouse, only to remarry him the next day so that you can have an excuse to hire me as your wedding photographer. Though have no fear, there is no need to do this as I offer anniversary sessions so it saves you the trouble of going through all the paperwork and attorney fees. So don't go calling an attorney just yet.

If you are single, it may cause you to rush out to quickly find a spouse so that you can hire me as your wedding photographer, but there is no rush, take your time and make sure that he/she is the right one for you, I will still be here.

Prepare for the hotness and consider yourself warned. ;)

Lindsay and France Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:13:00 +0000

I know lots of people have been waiting for this post and I thank you for your patience :) Lindsay and France got married in the SLC temple and had their reception at the Sky Room in the BYU campus. In the words of Zoolander, these two are "ridiculously good looking". These guys are not only "ridiculously good looking" but they are also "ridiculously sweet as pie". These two are such a great couple and I had such a blast shooting the wedding. Congratulations Lindsay and France.

Marissa Bridals

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:03:00 +0000

Sorry about the delay with posting. I have been very very busy catching up on all the shooting I have been doing. Here is a bridal session I did for Marissa at Memory Grove. I can't wait for the wedding next month at Castlebrook in Layton.

Cory and Zach Engagements

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 00:46:00 +0000

Meet Zach and Cory. This was a fun and passionate session and these guys were willing to do anything for awesome pictures. We shot various locations around SLC as you will recognize the backgrounds, but this shoot I definetly tried some new poses and compositions to break the norm. I am totally loving the results and you will love some of my upcoming posts, so stay tuned :)

Aaron and Robyn Engagements

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 02:11:00 +0000

Here is an engagement session that I shot for one of my relatives Robyn and her fiance Aaron. These guys are so darn sweet and are so cute together. I will be shooting Robyn's bridals soon as well as their wedding in September. After the session, Robyn and Aaron went out to see the midnight showing of Batman. Well, I am off to shoot a wedding and will be back shortly to post some more :)

Carly Bridals

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 20:43:00 +0000

Another hot bridal session that I shot for Carly. Thanksgiving Pointe is such a beautiful place to shoot and you really can't go wrong with the scenery. As I was waiting for Carly to show up, I was browsing the shops and happened upon the sweet umbrella seen below, so I had to try it out for the shoot. Carly and her cousin Jenni showed up and we began to shoot. It was hot, so we rented a golf cart to drive around the gardens, now that was fun. Quick shoutout to Jenni who just got engaged :) congrats Jenni. Jenni drove all the way up from St George to help out Carly for the bridal session. Anyways, enough of my yapping, check out the sweet photos we were able to capture.

Abby Bridals

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:10:00 +0000

This was a really fun session, but come to think about it, all of my sessions are really fun :) Abby looked absolutely stunning and she was totally working the camera. I am so excited for her wedding in Newport Beach California in September.

Date night with Tavis and Leslie Johnson

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 01:12:00 +0000

So last night, my great photographer friend Tavis Johnson and his wife Leslie joined Tiffany and I for a night out on the town. Tavis and Leslie have to be two of the sweetest people I know and we were sad when the night was over. Tavis is an uber talented photographer and they are such a hot couple. I will be shooting an engagement type session for them on Tuesday, and I am so excited. We went out to dinner at Thaifoon Asian restaurant in SLC and following we went to see Batman: The Dark Knight. Such an awesome movie. Afterwards, we hung out at Hagen Daaz's for some ice cream and sat around shooting the breeze. We were all in a conversation when all of a sudden Tiffany freaks out and says "what the heck is that?!?!" what looked like a mouse from afar turned out to be a baby bat crawling across the pavement. Here are some photos from last night taken on my iPhone.

Aubrey Bridals

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 08:31:00 +0000

I really wish I could have done engagements for Aubrey, but they already had some in the works when they hired me. This was such a fun session for me. Aubrey was so photogenic and so easy to shoot. It was really hard for me to pick a favorite, I think I love them all. When my wife saw these, she said one word.... "wowza"

Brooke Bridals

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 08:23:00 +0000

Tomas, if you are here to see Brooke's bridals, go away now, these are worth the wait, I promise ;)

Here is Brooke's bridal session. This was a fun session and STC Digital tagged along to shoot video. I loved Brooke's dress and sunglasses, but my favorite were her shoes, I love when brides have colorful shoes. They definetly fit Brooke's bright personality :)

Marissa and Ismael

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 08:14:00 +0000

Meet Marissa and Ismael. These are some engagements I shot for them a couple weeks ago. Ismael is one funny dude, lol. He had me laughing so hard during the shoot. I can't wait for their wedding at Castlebrook in Layton.

Anica and Tyler Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 08:05:00 +0000

So July 11th I headed down to Heritage Gardens in Sandy, Utah for the wedding of Anica and Tyler. What a gorgeous event. I always love when wedding DJs have lighting effects because I shoot right into them and get some awesome effects as seen below. Makes for moodier photos. Congratulations Anica and Tyler :)

Camilla and Tim

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 07:55:00 +0000

I was going through my photos last night and suddenly realized I never posted a followup for Camilla and Tim's wedding sneak peak. Here are a few more from their wedding day :)

Sarah and Jeremy Tie The Knot

noreply@blogger.com (Dustin Izatt) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 06:23:00 +0000

Ok, so I am finally getting around to blogging Sarah and Jeremy's wedding and I apologize for leaving you guys hanging. Sarah and Jeremy were sealed at the SLC temple on June 26th and had a reception at their friends gorgeous house up in the avenues of SLC. They served the most delicious crepes ever and I'm glad I wasn't on a diet back when I shot the wedding like I am now. I have been editing non stop like a mad man and shooting just as much, but I am so close to being caught up and then I can start posting shoots within 24 hours :) I can't wait. Also, stay tuned because very soon I will have a brand new custom blog, you guys are gonna love it ;)

I almost deleted this one when I was doing my initial edits because it was out of focus, but I really like the mystery and lighting of the shot, so I kept it anyways. I think I'm glad I did.
