Justin's cousin Braddock married the lovely Lindsay on May 7th of 2010 in the LDS temple in Salt Lake City. What a crazy day that was for Justin and I as we literally had to wrangle equipment together for the shoot in just a few hours. The night before we were tragically robbed and had every bit of our equipment stolen in the matter of 10 minutes!!! Knowing the next day we would need to photograph Brad + Lindsay we were slightly stressed. LUCKILY, the wedding photography industry is amazing in the fact that we all seem to pull together when something goes wrong! We put a few twitter messages out into the universe and by 11am the next morning we had pretty much everything we needed ON LOAN from other fellow photogs in the SLC area. A very special thanks to those that were so willing to help us in our time of need!

To make a very long story short, we were able to purchase new equipment because we were insured through Hill & Usher (amazing insurance company for photographers and equipment coverage), and a good samaritan helped us catch the bad guy and put him behind bars (I intend to dedicate a whole post just to this person in the very near future)! So, learn from us, if you aren't insured, GET INSURED ASAP, and if you are, be sure you are insured through a company that has your back!

Now on to the goods:

One of my favorite photographers, Liz Frandsen, is based in SLC and shoots a lot of weddings at the temple there. I like you perspectives and new locations around the grounds. I see a lot of photos from those temple grounds, but this shoot is fresh.

Wow...can't imagine how stressed you must have been the night before (I have recurring nightmares about equipment being stolen the day of a wedding). High five to the SLC photographers who helped out. Great images, as always. :)

What a horrible story! I can't believe that happened to you! Since you caught the bad guy, how come you weren't able to get your original equipment back? :( And hey Amelia you posted this way back on July 1st and you still haven't honored your hero and told us the story! I know it's the season but I think it's time don't you think? We all need a little faith and hope to make it through the rest of the way! ;)

Emily, I appreciate the reminder, I DO plan on doing a post for Jesse (the guy that helped us catch the bad guy), but I'd like to take photos of him first to show off him and his beautiful family. The last two months have been a whirlwind for us and I don't expect you to even know about what has been going on, but again, thank you for the reminder. Stay posted!

Lindsey + Brandon were married in Santa Monica at the LDS Temple on May 1st. We went from Santa Monica to Palm Springs for their reception...yup, you read me right...Palm Springs! What seemed like would be a long day ended up being fun and eventful! I loved the reception in Palm Springs at Lindsey's parents' vacation home (which also happened to be the previous Oscar Mayer house there). Also, we were lucky enough to have Social Frog Designs on board as the coordinator for the reception in Palm Springs. Without further ado I give you Lindsey + Brandon's wedding day!
