So, I mentioned that I shot my first wedding reception a couple of weeks ago, right? Well, the pictures turned out pretty painful for me to look at to be completely honest. I didn’t have the equipment I would have wanted, nor did I have much warning that I would be helping out the bride (who is a really close friend of mine) by getting my camera out at all. All things considered, it was a fabulous experience! I learned a lot about the do’s and do NOT’s of these types of events, and I certainly learned a few tricks in Photoshop to help with the out of control ISO noise most of my images have.
Anyway, the wedding took place in Manti, UT at the LDS Temple there (I snapped only a couple pictures outside the temple since I was there as a guest and not the photographer):
The reception was held all the way up in Salt Lake City at the University of Utah Alumni Center:
I’ll probably get some more images up from the reception, but these were needed for a second reception up in Othello, WA so I made sure I had them done in time.
Congrats to Crystal and Adam!




How are you editing your photos? Shadows, sepia, color tones, sharpness? I love the second one! What a cute cake…
These look like you got a wonderful set of photos for them to remember the event
Well done!
Jeffrey: you rock my world.
Melissa: Adam and I totally made that cake with our bare hands! I’m glad you liked it
Jeffrey: totally love you!
These pictures are beautiful – so keep on trucking Jeffrey-man. Crystal looks all “glowy” just like a bride should. Luckily you started with a very photogenic couple (and cake).
Jeff the pictures look wonderful, this is obviously a talent of yours! Good job. We need to do some more family pictures soon.
Love the temple shot…nice!
