Brian and Beth’s Wedding

It was a perfectly beautiful day in August. Partly cloudy and warm weather are exactly what I call a beautiful wedding day. But not only was the weather and light incredible, even more spectacular was the love and excitement shared by Beth and Brian with their family and friends as a celebration for such a perfect day and union. I was completely honored and thrilled to capture their lovely day.

 

These flower girls were just too cute for words. They couldn’t get enough of helping Beth with her gorgeous princess train.

    Yet somebody else was a little too zonked to join in the fun :)

 

You rock it Beth! Serious beautiful twirl!

 

These next two shots are only really possible with a train as long as Beth’s. And yes her train just so happened to be one of my favorite details. And the light here was just stunning. Can’t decide which of the next two are my favorites:

     Next it was time to literally run off to the dinner reception! We took full opportunity of using some of the beautiful spots at the Provo Library just before the dinner started. By this point, these two are definitely total pro models in front of my camera. I couldn’t ask for more willing and fun couple!

  I couldn’t have loved their dinner reception more. It was so relaxing for everyone. No line. Just good food, entertainment, and lots of dancing! Really the ideal way for the bride, groom, and everyone involved to celebrate and end a perfect day!

These little girls wrote up a fairy tale of “Princess Beth” and “Prince Brian’s” story. Too adorable.

Ok I personally thought this next act was the best ever! I was literally laughing my head off while taking pictures of these hilarious numbers! These are Beth’s older sisters impersonating Brian and Beth. They took three Broadway songs (I can’t remember the 2nd song, but the first was “Me,” from Beauty and the Beast sung by the character Gaston) and adapted it to fit Brian and Beth, and it was simply hilarious! Not only did both of these sisters have incredible voices, they were serious performers. Completely entertaining! The pictures definitely prove the later part, you’ll just have to trust me about their singing voices ;) Enjoy some of my favorite outtakes!

  The first two songs were meant to be funny and entertaining, the last song was such a intro for Beth and Brian and their new life together, as they sang the song, “For Good.”

  Now onto the party!

This sweet grandpa had lots of fun with the rest of everyone doing the “Hokey Pokey!”

Then just a bunch of fun and craziness!

   

Beth and Brian – THANK YOU for an incredibly fun day and evening! I loved everything about your day, as well as the two of you and how you made me feel so much a part of your family and friends. It was a blast being a part of it all and being able to document all of the fun moments! Thanks also for your patience for this post! You both have been far more patient for this post than I could have ever asked for! Thank you! It means the world to me!

Thanks everyone else for stopping by and letting me share with you TONS of my favorite images from this wedding day! Feel welcome to leave this couple some comment love and congratulations :)

And as always, more posts coming soon :)

SLC Temple in Spring Gallery Wrap For Sale

Last spring I was lucky enough to take this picture of the beautiful Salt Lake City LDS Temple during the prime time in spring. I just loved this picture so much that I thought I’d print it up big in canvas. I unfortunately don’t have a lot of room for it in my condo right now though. One day this piece of art will grace the walls of my home, but for now I thought I’d put it up for sale and give it a good home hanging large and big in someone else’s house. This would also make a fantastic Christmas gift to a loved one!

So here we go:

$175 (still available)

*20x30 Canvas Gallery Wrap (This is huge. Just measure it. 20 inches by 30 inches. Yep it will definitely draw attention in your home)

*Ready to hang on the wall

*Already printed and ready to pick up or ship to your home.

*Obviously the “Please do not copy” is only for web-use, but my name in the corner is as shown and is visible on the front side, while more of the picture (which is not shown online here) is wrapped around the corners for a complete gallery wrap feel and look.

*Option to pick this up at my home in the Utah County area, or I can have it shipped to wherever you are. Shipping a huge piece like this safely starts around $25 for ground standard shipping.

*Payment taken through Paypal account.

*Contact me at: angelaliddle (at) gmail (dot) com, if you have any questions or would love to purchase this beautiful gallery wrap.

Feel welcome to email family members or friends if you think someone might be interested in this piece of art. It’s always a nice feeling having spring permanently in your home all year round! :)

Mercedes and Trefton’s SLC Temple Wedding

Remember this couple?  They were married on a beautiful warm day at the end of July, radiating and smiling from ear to ear, they each glowed with such happiness that it made me so incredibly happy to photograph them on this most important day in their lives. 

  This next one: John and my two different angles of TJ and his friends jumping. I think both angles are cool:

  Got to love brothers :)

I soooo wish I would have had someone take a picture of me taking this next picture. I swear my cheek was touching the hot cobbled ground. And I was definitely pregnant by then (without the belly, but still cramped inside) so to contort my body to get this shot was for me an accomplishment. I love this shot so much that it was worth it.

These two are my definition of classy. They are eye candy together and have such poise and elegance while I photographed them.

    

  This next one was literally one of the last shots at the temple as they raced away to get to the luncheon. I like to only half joke that my couples literally have to run away from me in order for me to stop taking pictures of them. I wish I could say that didn’t have truth behind it, but all of my wonderful couples will have to smile and nod in agreement that I really could just keep going on and on with pictures once I get going :)

But we’ll end with another shot that I adore:

Mercedes and TJ --I can’t thank you enough from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be a part of this road to documenting your fantastically beautiful wedding. Your wedding was definitely one of my top weddings of this year, and I’m so glad you somehow found me even though you are from Idaho. Thanks for making the trip down here more than once. It has been so much fun getting to know you both and becoming new friends. I wish you all the happiness in your new marriage and life together.

Their bridal session was one of those sessions that I WILL blog because it was fantastic and can’t be forgotten, but I knew how anxious Mercedes was to see these wedding shots that I wanted to blog this wedding first. Thanks for stopping by everyone! Please leave some comment love for Mercedes and TJ.
