Grand America Bridal Show

2008-08-23T05:46:00.003-07:00

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

2008-08-18T23:00:00.008-07:00

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

2008-08-15T20:02:00.001-07:00

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

2008-08-15T19:18:00.006-07:00

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

2008-08-14T23:11:00.005-07:00

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

2008-08-14T22:51:00.005-07:00

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

2008-08-12T22:44:00.006-07:00

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

2008-08-12T20:18:00.001-07:00

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

2008-08-11T09:21:00.008-07:00

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

2008-08-10T22:07:00.004-07:00

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

2008-08-07T07:34:00.007-07:00

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

2008-08-05T11:13:00.005-07:00

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

2008-08-05T11:03:00.003-07:00

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

2008-07-31T17:46:00.007-07:00

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

2008-07-30T19:11:00.003-07:00

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

2008-07-29T13:43:00.005-07:00

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

2008-07-29T11:10:00.008-07:00

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

2008-07-27T18:12:00.004-07:00

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

2008-07-27T01:31:00.005-07:00

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

2008-07-27T01:23:00.004-07:00

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

2008-07-27T01:14:00.006-07:00

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

2008-07-27T01:05:00.006-07:00

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

2008-07-27T00:55:00.003-07:00

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

2008-07-22T23:23:00.008-07:00

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.

So here are the kiddos

2008-07-20T11:24:00.002-07:00

So if any of you wonder what I do every day almost all day, this is practically it. I sit outside on our swing, and the kids play with the neighbor kids. We swim in our little pool, they write on the sidewalk with chalk, they ride their bikes, and well they just play.
I had to get these shots because i know that we are going to get Cameron's hair cut soon, and those baby curls are adorable!

Making paint with chalk and water, it makes a thick sort of paste.

This would be Cameron doing hand prints, and showing me "look mom...."

So here is another series but this day the kids were playing in the water.
In this one, I love the big image because it shows Cameron being such a boy!

Woo, hoo, lets run and slip and slide, or just run into it and run away!

Okay so this one was pretty darn cute! Madison noticed Aspen playing with her Barbie, so she went over and took the Barbie, and the end is her onorey face that she got them back, but the fact is that Aspen still had them.

Yummm!!! Cherries!

Holly Bridals

2008-07-19T10:50:00.005-07:00

Here is a bridal session I did for my great friend Holly about a week ago. I absolutely adore Holly and all of her family and am so happy that she is getting married to one of the coolest guys ever, Nate. Speaking of Nate, if you are reading this, look away now, you are not allowed to see these til after August 14th ;) More posts coming soon.

Stevie and Nick Engagements

2008-07-17T21:59:00.007-07:00

Stevie and Nick have to be one of my favorite couples this year, they are both so relaxed and chill. Not to mention they were made for each other and are smoking hot. You can tell that Nick treats Stevie right and these guys are so happy together. Every time we are together, we talk just like friends who've known each other forever and I feel so comfortable around them. They were willing to do anything for pictures which is always a bonus. We started out with some urban shots in downtown SLC and then finished the night off at Saltair with some awesome dirt bike shots and a gorgeous sunset. They were even so cool as to tread through a bajillion bird carcasses encrusted in the sandy beach and get into the nasty water of the great salt lake. Talk about troopers. I was sad that the sun went down and the shoot was over, so we all went out to grab a bite to eat at the Sconecutter in SLC. I can't wait for the bridal session and the wedding coming up in September.

In case you are wondering about that black shadow in the background off to the right... well that is a rock, not a dead fish, nope, definetly not a dead fish

Tiffany and Dustin by the talented Anna Page :)

2008-07-16T23:36:00.004-07:00

So tonight I finally had a night off with no shooting, so Tiffany and I hired my really good friend Anna Page of Anna Page Photography to shoot some photos for us to put on the new website. We shot around downtown SLC and had such an awesome time. After the shoot we went out to dinner with Anna and her husband Jonathan at Romano's Macaroni Grill. Tiffany and I were talking all night about how fun the session was and how excited we were to see the pictures. I decided to check out Anna's Blog to see what she has been up to and lo and behold, she posted some pics of us :) Here it is 12:30 AM and I run into the bedroom to wake Tiffany up to come and see :) I hope Anna doesn't mind, but I borrowed the photo below from her blog, it's one of mine and Tiffany's favorite and we can't wait to see all of the photos. To see the other killer shots she got, go visit her blog. Thanks so much Anna for doing such an awesome job, I can't even begin to express how pleased we are with the photos, you are amazing and we can't wait to see the rest :)

Lindsay and Jonny Groomals Session

2008-07-14T22:46:00.006-07:00

Nervousness swept in as I approached the Utah State Capitol. Thoughts began running through my head.... Was I going to get in trouble for shooting on government property? Were there going to be any good spots as I had never shot there before and didn't want to look like a total tool in front of Lindsay and Jonny. As we pulled up to the massive granite building and began walking towards it's cold stone walls, my mind began to ease. We found an awesome light pole and around the corner beheld the most beautiful and romantic light a photographer could ask for. We then slipped into the center courtyard where all was still. The only sounds heard were the tappy tap tap of my camera shutter, the clankety clank of Lindsay's brand new Prada high heel shoes, flirtatious laughs and soft smooches being exchanged between Lindsay and Jonny. These guys are so cute and so playful and radiate happiness. Special thanks to my favorite florist in Utah Audrey of Studio Stems for doing a killer job on the bouquet and boutineer. Do you guys think I succeeded at not looking like a tool? I feel pretty confident I pulled it off ;) Can you feel the love these two share by looking at the pictures? Which are your favorites and why ;)

Lindsey and Doug Engagements

2008-07-14T10:18:00.007-07:00

Having only met Lindsey and Doug when they came to book me about a month ago, I had almost forgotten how hot these guys are. My memory was jogged when they stepped out of the car at Memory Grove. Doug immediately told me the plan for the session which I liked very much. What was the plan you ask? It was to dress professional and start out traditional with the poses, then slowly lose clothes and get more playful. These guys win the award for most passionate couple of the year. Some shots have been left out because they are so hot, they would burn your eyes ;)

Shaun Senior Session

2008-07-13T20:59:00.003-07:00

Here is a senior session I shot for Shaun at the Ogden Union Station. Shaun plays the acoustic guitar which is awesome in my books. I want to play acoustic guitar so bad. Shaun was a senior at Weber High School.

Camping out for the iPhone 3g

2008-07-10T20:33:00.002-07:00

As the sun is setting, Dustin and I are sitting in front of the Att store, and we will be here to watch the sunrise....Why you ask? for the new iPhone 3G. We are outside the Main street store in Layton, so if you happen to be driving by stop by, and say hi.

Jonathan and Brooklyne Groomal Session

2008-07-10T13:37:00.007-07:00

Ok, I am frantically trying to stay on top of the blogging, as well as shooting every single day this week. Here is a groomal session I did for Jonathan and Brooklyne. I absolutely loved Brooklyne's birdcage veil and feather. Her dress was absolutely gorgeous and Jonathan looked as sharp as a tack. There is never a dull moment when being around these two. They have such a great sense of humor. Which one is your favorite?

Kirra

2008-07-09T18:39:00.008-07:00

Welcome Kirra. I work with her mom who is the sweetest person ever, and when I knew that she was pregnant I knew that I would want to get some photos of her coming baby! On Saturday July 5th I went to her house to take some photos and when I walked in I saw this awesome table that had some Asian inspired decorations, and I already had ideas for what I wanted to do on that little table.I was picturing a sleeping baby all curled up, and so sweet and tender, but...it didn't turn out that way, of course, she would have nothing to do with the whole sleeping part of it. I was able to get one shot, so I was a happy camper. Then I went up to her room and I love that her room is decorated in Disney underwater creatures it is so freaking cute! Since I hardly shoot on my own let alone in someone's house I was nervous to do this shoot. I cant wait to join Dustin in the future and be a constant shooter in the business.

Enjoy!
-Tiffany Izatt

This is the table I was talking about

I love babies crying, I don't know if that means that I am cruel, but I love hearing their little cries, and their faces have such emotion.

So what do you think? Should I do this full time?

Christy and John - 6/21/08

2008-07-08T23:32:00.006-07:00

I am so behind on posts and it is my personal goal to be all caught up on my blogging in 7 days. I have so many shoots and weddings just waiting to be posted ;) Anyways, One of my best friends Christy tied the knot a few weeks ago and it is with great joy that I make this post. I am so glad that her and John found each other. They make such a perfect couple and both are so energetic and funny. I know these two will make each other happy for the rest of their lives and I am so honored that Christy asked me to be their photographer. After the temple, we all attended their luncheon at the Joy Luck restaurant in Bountiful. If you want some good Orange Chicken, you should give it a try. Congratulations Christy and John.

Within Temptation - Somewhere

2008-07-07T15:02:00.001-07:00

Time for another music recommendation from Big D ;) If you like Evanescence you will totally love Within Tempation. I absolutely love this song and must have listened to it over 150 times. It is such a beautiful song and I absolutely love her voice. Check out some of their other songs, you might like them. I own their silent force album and LOVE it.

Happy 4th of July Everyone :)

2008-07-05T14:05:00.003-07:00

Hope everyone had a rockin' 4th of July last night :) I think this was the first year Tiffany and I wasn't running an advertisement booth at the Layton fair, so we actually got to spend all day with the kids and family. We went to the parade and then came home to clean up the house for a family bbq. After cleaning we went back to see the booths at Layton Park and ate the same chinese food we eat every year at the booths. Here are just a couple pictures I took of the girls and the fireworks. Cameron is so active and busy, he wouldn't sit still long enough for a shot, lol.

Jonathan and Brooklyne Engagement Session

2008-07-03T13:57:00.004-07:00

I love night engagement sessions because it always gives me an excuse to go out to eat when I treat the couples to dinner :) We started out in downtown SLC and also went out to Romano's Macaroni Grill, yummy. We then finished up in the dark of the night. Special thanks to my main man Tavis Johnson for coming along and helping me out with the session. Jon and Brooklyne even brought along their dog Chloe for a couple shots :P Too cute.

Blogging...and Comments

2008-07-03T11:03:00.004-07:00

I just have to say...from my perspective...I have had so much fun this past week checking out others blogs and commenting on them. I know how excited Dustin and I are to get blog comments, so I thought, what the heck I'm going to share the love and check out others. So that is what I have been doing the past while. And I just subscribed to Bloglines Which I now have about 100 blogs that I will keep track of and Bloglines makes it so much easier to do that. So if you are new here leave a comment, and if you have a blog please share it and I will come check it out.

I am always exceptionally excited when we receive a comment from our clients past present and future. Oh yea, and that also includes family members who keep track of us.

And a Thank you to the regular bloggers, visitors, and commentors, you guys ROCK!

Carly and Jared - Engagement Session

2008-07-02T23:35:00.006-07:00

Next up, meet Carly and Jared. These guys were willing to do anything for pictures, even climb into the stream at Memory Grove. The water was freezing, but they were total troopers. They wanted a night session as well, so after shooting at Memory Grove, we headed over to Romano's Macaroni Grill and had a delicious dinner. Then it was back out for the night session. You will notice the night shots by a blue wall. Well I was about to have them sit on a curb and noticed the shaped of a bug where the video light was hitting. I thought it was a cricket, but when I shined my light where it was sitting, noticed it was a hideous cockroach, and he was not alone, lol. He had 20 friends with him. We quickly finished and headed to another location. So yeah, nuff said... Here are my favorites.

Sarah Bridals - Night Session

2008-07-02T22:39:00.004-07:00

So the same night as Lindsay and Jonny's engagements session, I met up with Sarah for her night bridal session. We had a rockin' session that started out at Memory Grove, then finished in downtown Salt Lake City for the night session. Sarah's friend Elena came along and helped out with holding my video lights :) Check out the awesome shots we captured.

Lindsay and Jonny Engagement Session

2008-07-01T12:49:00.008-07:00

Here is an engagement session I shot for Lindsay and Jonny :) These guys were referred to me by Mallorie and Matt. When I saw the yellow and blue outfit scheme, I knew we had to head over to my secret yellow wall with the blue windows. The temperature was hot hot hot and so was the couple as you can see :) Sorry about the number of photos, I had a really hard time picking a favorite.

Anica Bridal Session

2008-07-01T12:40:00.006-07:00

So the day after Tim and Camilla's wedding, I shot some bridals for Anica who is getting married in 10 days :) We shot at Memory Grove and her dress was smokin' hot. I can't wait for their wedding at the Heritage Gardens.

Camilla and Tim - 6/7/08 Sneak Peak

2008-06-30T21:57:00.003-07:00

Sabrina and Dustin Engagments

2008-06-30T21:46:00.006-07:00

Meet Sabrina and Dustin. I was so bummed when Sabrina called me about doing her wedding photography and I was already booked. She loved my work so much though that she still wanted me to do her engagement photos, so I agreed. These guys are so hot and were up for anything. Sabrina had the most adorable Texas accent. Good luck on your wedding you guys :)

Holly and Nate Engagements

2008-06-30T21:34:00.003-07:00

Say hello to Holly and Nate. Holly's old sister Rachael is one of my best friends and also my hair dresser. I was really bummed that I won't be able to do Holly's wedding next month. Holly attended mine and Tiffany's wedding 6 years ago and I am a long time friend with her family :) Nate is such an awesome guy and I am so glad that they found each other. We shot at the Ogden Union Station and at Beus Pond behind Weber State University.

Lili and Giang Wedding Day 2 - 5/31/2008

2008-06-29T12:16:00.007-07:00

So here is day 2 of Lili and Giang's wedding. It started in the morning with a traditional Asian Tea Ceremony and continued on into the late evening with a full 9 course dinner and dancing. Tiffany came along with me and second shot and got tons of awesome images :) Thanks babe. During the reception, Lili's brother and friends sat them down and sang them "I Swear" by all 4 one, and it was hilarious. Check out the slideshow below for more photos.

LILI AND GIANG WEDDING SLIDESHOW DAY 2

Just One :)

2008-06-27T00:01:00.005-07:00

I just got back tonight from shooting an amazing wedding and I had to share one of the images I shot today. Sarah and Jeremy got married at the Salt Lake City Temple today and as they came out, a dozen sister missionaries had gathered outside the doors and began singing "Families Can Be Together Forever" and I happened to grab this shot as Sarah was wiping a tear from her eye. I knew as soon as I clicked the shutter that it was going to be a powerful image. After the temple, I put together a slideshow of the photos from today and played it at the reception and later that night when Sarah saw this photo for the first time, she began to cry. What an awesome moment. What do you guys think?

It's Coming :) New ME

2008-06-24T18:43:00.009-07:00

Hey everybody. I will be at the Gateway wedding show this Saturday and you won't want to miss it. Come and check out the all new, totally HOT and unique FINE ART ALBUMS. I posted a little sneak peak of them below, but you have to see them in person, they will blow you guys away. I am one of a very select few Utah photographers that are offering these. Also, I posted a little sneak peak of my new websites that are coming out for my weddings and portraits :) HOT HOT HOT. As you can see, I will be going from Digital Izatt Photography to Dustin Izatt Photography and have the new logo. Any wedding booked by July 31st, 2008 will receive a free 10x10 20 page guest signature album. These books are amazing and like nothing you've ever seen before. They are hard bound stiff pages with a special matte to absorb the ink. See a few pics below. I'll let you guys know when the new sites are live so you can see them :)

The New Logo (The leaf represents my favorite season, fall time, which is when I met my wife 10 years ago, and my favorite color is orange, also a fall time thing)

The new Wedding Website coming soon (gorgeous full screen images) :)

The new Portrait Website coming soon (also gorgeous full screen images) :)

The hot new signature guest albums (come see me at the bridal fair and ask how you can get a free 10x10 20 page guest album)!!!

Introducing the all new "H" style Fine Art Album, you have to see this in person ;)

The even hotter "G" style Fine Art Album

Ok, so I am so excited for this post and can't wait to share all the amazing photos I captured for this two day wedding celebration. I am on my way out the door to have lunch with my kids and thought I would give you guys a little teaser of what's to come :) Here are just 3 for now. Check back tomorrow for the full post.

Sarah and Jeremy Engagements

2008-06-19T12:41:00.003-07:00

As you will see very soon, I have been so busy shooting almost every day and had a couple of really awesome weddings. So I apologize about my lack of blogging ;) Anyways, this was an engagement session that I shot on 05/29/2008 for Sarah and Jeremy. Sarah had been a blog stalker of mine for about a year when she finally got engaged and called to book me :) Jeremy is a twin and his brother Justin came along to help out. We had a blast shooting and I can't believe her wedding is already next Thursday. Let me know what your favorite one is, I love comments ;)

Brooke and Tomas Engagements

2008-06-18T13:59:00.006-07:00

Brooke and Tomas are such an awesome couple. I absolutely loved shooting this session because these guys are so smoking hot and were so easy to photograph. We decided to do a mixed engagement session with some day shots and finish with some sweet night shots. After finishing up with the day portion, we headed over to California Pizza Kitchen to let the sun go completely down and get to chat some more. Tomas plays guitar which is always awesome in my book. I want to learn to play acoustic guitar very badly. Anyways, here are a few highlights from our session.

Camilla Bridal session

2008-06-14T12:23:00.005-07:00

Ok, so sorry about my absence. I just attended the most awesome photographers workshop held in Chicago this whole week. I thought I might have had a chance to do some blogging while I was away, but we worked non stop from dawn to dusk. This is an awesome bridal session I did for Camilla back on the 27th of May. I just shot her wedding on 6/7/08 before I left for Chicago, so wedding pics coming soon as well. Camilla is just the sweetest person ever and I had such a great time shooting her bridals. Special thanks to her mom for coming along and helping out.

Christy and John

2008-06-08T22:48:00.003-07:00

Sorry about the delay folks, I have been shooting non stop and editing non stop. Tis the season for weddings. Anyways, back to where we left off. Within minutes of finishing Abby and Matt's engagements, I met up with Christy and her fiance John. Christy and I go way back. We were BESTEST buddies in high school and were inseperable. So when she called me and told me she was getting married, I was so happy for her. Christy is so sweet and my favorite thing about her is her sense of humor. We have spent many a time just laughing and goofing off together. Anyways, here are some from that session. I will be leaving tomorrow for Chicago and won't return until Friday afternoon, but the good news is I should finally be able to take a break from editing my life away and actually catch up on all my blogging :) So stay tuned and check back this week to see what else I have been up to ;)

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

2008-06-04T11:11:00.001-07:00

Time for another Big D music video :) I have always been a big fan of Radiohead and grew up watching MTV when they actually played music videos all day, and Radiohead had many a music video that I watched. This song is so awesome and I rediscovered it when Radiohead just released their best of album on iTunes yesterday. Anyways, just a little something to tie you over til my next picture post ;) Let me know what you think of the song :)

Abby and Matt Engagements

2008-06-02T23:22:00.006-07:00

Ok, sorry, had a very busy wedding with back to back wedding shooting on Friday and Saturday. This is the first of two engagement sessions that I did on Monday of last week. Abby and Matt were originally planning on getting married on September 20th of this year in the Newport Beach mormon temple, but when they heard I was already booked, they decided to move the date to September 19th :) So I can't wait to fly out to Cali for their wedding. It was raining a little bit before the session, so I hopped over to Office Depot and picked up an umbrella, and wouldn't you know for the whole session, it maybe dropped 2 or 3 sprinkles and was fine the rest of it, lol. Oh well, we thought it would still make a cute prop.

Matt was kind enough to drop me a little email on Wednesday and it made my day, I thought I would share it with you all.

"Dustin,

Thanks again for the passion your exhibit in your work and the effort you made on Monday to go above and beyond for us. I, like many guys you've seen before I'm sure, did not come into our photo session looking forward to posing and "looking cute" for two hours, but you quickly made me feel very comfortable and allowed me to show how I feel about the gal I'm marrying under the scope of a camera. I'm glad Abby found you and that you will be the one seeing my through all the picture shenanigans. Be prepared for more reference to come your way!

Matt"

Thanks Matt, I am glad the session wasn't too boring ;)
