Megan & Mike’s Engagement Session – The Avenues and City Creek Canyon

April 18th, 2009

I met Megan and Mike for their engagement session at their home up in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City. They live right near City Creek Canyon, where they often take their dog Lady for walks in the woods. It was on one of these walks that Mike proposed to Megan so it was a great choice of location for some photos. Lady was not interested in sitting still for pictures that evening!

Megan and Mike are friends of ours – Megan works with my wife Leah and Mike is now essential to the functioning of Michael Tallman Photography. Without him, I would still have a pile of paperwork on my table and no photographs would be coming out of this computer! Mike does a great job on my very complicated tax returns.

Megan and Mike are having their wedding in May at Log Haven.  Family and friends can see the rest of these photos and order prints here.

Theresa & Kyler’s Wedding | The Canyons – Park City, Utah

I had the honor of photographing Theresa and Kyler’s wedding at The Canyons in Park City, Utah.

The wedding was held at the Red Pine Lodge, accessed by gondola up on the mountain.  A week of snowstorms created a winter wonderland up there, but as luck would have it the sky broke open and it was pure magic!  We had snow falling and sunshine at the same time during the portrait session.

The gorgeous winter ambiance was enhanced by flowers from Every Blooming Thing, music by Reviver, and great event planning work of Christine Miller from Libella Events.

For the first time at a wedding I made use of my avalanche shovel to make a picture happen!  I had my assistant Jen clear out an area in the woods so I could make the portrait below.  I did not think to have her clear out a spot for me though so I was post holing in two feet of snow to get the shot!

Ward and Neko Case, both of whom will be playing outdoor concerts in Salt Lake City this summer – don’t miss those if you will be here!  Thanks to Erin for coming along as my second photographer.  You can sign up to view the rest of the photographs here – they will be online in a few weeks.
