Beautiful Bridals at The Utah State Capitol in downtown Salt Lake City.

Sometimes it's just a little bit too cold outside for a bridal shoot during the winter in Northern Utah, so we improvise. The Utah State Capitol is a perfect location to photograph such the occasion and capture Maddie's personality, elegant style and amazing dress. There are so many great reasons to shoot at the Utah State Capitol. Just to name a few lets start with the sheer mass of the building and so much working space. Another is the timeless style of the venue, the enormous marble pillar's, the beautiful stairway's and of course the lighting. There is so much natural ambient light coming through the windows that it doesn't really matter if it's morning, mid-day or evening, because the light is so spectacular to photograph :D

I usually recommend a bouquet of flowers for the bride's to hold so they have something for their hands to do as we change up different poses and perspectives. In Maddie's case, she really didn't need them. With her beautiful dress and its details, amazing hair and tiny waistline to show off, it would have been too busy otherwise. Maddie wanted to make sure I really emphasized her bow, that she just loves and I wanted to emphasize her great lines and beautiful face.

It was the best of both worlds, not too mention those beautiful blue eyes. She did such a great job and we had a ton of fun while staying nice and warm at our beautiful location.

Calvin + Marianne's Bridal Shoot - Wadley Farms / Bridals / Utah Wedding Photographer / Michael Lloyd Photography / Utah Bridals

Calvin and Marianne are a smart, small town, hard working, All-American couple. I knew from the moment I first met them this year, that they would be easy going and very fun to photograph. We did their bridal shoot at the fabulous Wadley Farms in Lindon, Utah. We had so much fun shooting all over the property and trying New poses and setups of them both.
~ Thank You, Michael

Sam's Bridal at Sleepy Ridge

I have been anxiously excited to share Sam's bridal shoot from Sleepy Ridge. Sam wanted a nice variety of shot's that would really showcase her dress and give an overall feel of this gorgeous location. I Love that there are so many options inside, some of the highlight's are the dominant lines, the hard wood floor and the great window lighting. Outside is an open pallet of color, lighting & great architectural beauty. She to is so beautiful and great to photograph.

Thank You for following, ~ Michael
