Wedding Invitation

Anne and I spent the better part of the evening working on our wedding invitation. Anne has a wonderful ability to see color, spacing and art! I wish I could say the same for my PhotoShop skills! We hope you like it.

Engagement Pictures!

We got our announcement pictures taken a little over a week ago and these are some of our favorites! We took most of these at Vivian Park, up Provo Canyon. The leaves are changing and aside from it being a little windy, it was a beautiful day! Then we also went to the Shops at Riverwoods and took some pictures there. We experimented with some traditional shots and more contemporary ones. The contemporary ones were sort of hard to do, because we had to have more serious faces, I didn't include a lot of those here. After an hour and a half of photographing, we did get a little tired of smiling and fake laughing! But we had a good time. Our photographer Kate Jeppson, was really nice to work with.
So now Brandon and I are trying to put together our announcement invitations. So if we haven't gotten your address yet, please get it to us!

Flower Girl Dresses!

Brandon and I found these cute dresses for our nieces to wear for our wedding! The one with the bigger dots will be for our 6 younger nieces ages 4 months to 5 years old and the other one will be for the other 5 girls that are 6 to 11 years old. Brandon had this idea of polka dot dresses and he even found the one for the younger girls on-line at Dillards, and ordered them, but there was a mix-up and a problem with the dresses being out-of-stock at Dillards, so we had to find the dresses on another website. We're still waiting on the second dress to get here, but it should be arriving this week!
I decided that I like on-line shopping. It has really saved us from having to run around more than we already have and things have also been much less expensive on-line than they have been in stores. So that's good too!

Here is just a preview of the videographer that Anne and I chose. We really like his work and hope he will capture some wonderful moments for us to share. Please enjoy this little trailer that he did for another couple.

Wedding Colors!

It took me awhile and a trip to the craft store, but I finally decided on my wedding colors! So here they are, Brown, a sort of Sage or Olive Green, Creme, and a slight Orange accent to pull some fall feel into it! I made these swatches from ribbon and paper and couldn't believe how crafty I could be! I've given these to my family and Brandon's family so they can begin the search for wedding party attire. Hopefully these will help everyone out!

Fun Times Together!

I know we've been neglecting our blog a bit! So maybe this'll catch us up! The first picture is of us in the Visitor's Center at the Bryce Canyon Dam (I can't remember what it is called, but it is right next to Page, Arizona). Then we have my Mom, Dad, myself, and Brandon at the Lake Powell Dam on our way back from visiting my brother Mike and his family in Arizona.
Then a photo of us being silly at Geppetos, a little pizza place that we went to for a friend's birthday. We were right next to the live music for the evening, and we were going crazy trying to talk over the music. The pizza was good!
Then just this past Sunday, Brandon and I took a drive up past Solitude Ski Resort and took a stroll around Silver Lake where we saw beavers, ducks, and a moose! We also snapped a couple of pictures!

Busy Busy!

With only about a month and 3/4 left till wedding day, we've continued with the planning by booking a photographer and videographer. We spent hours looking at so many websites trying to find someone that we liked and who were affordable that it is all big blur!
We did finally find some and we decided to go with Kate Jeppson as our photographer. She was really nice and we got to talk with her in her new studio in Lehi. We think she'll do a great job!
In looking for a videographer we found Denver Riddle with HD Wedding Events and we were really impressed with his more "movie" like feel and hope he'll be able to capture those special moments on our wedding day!
