Katie Booth Interiors | Interior Design Photographer

April 22, 2019

When Katie with Katie Booth Interiors called me to come photograph her home, I was so excited! When I drove up to Katie’s home I knew it was going to be one of my favorites! Her all white, modern style farmhouse sits in a beautiful apple orchard! This would be my dream location! I love orchards, can you imagine all of the dinner parties and the time spent relaxing underneath the branches of the apple trees? If she ever decides to sell, I want to be first on the list! Every detail that she put together is perfect, I loved the all white, there was such a calm presence as you entered into the front entry! I would die to be able to cook in her beautiful kitchen, I think I wouldn’t be able to stop cooking!

Her beautiful home is being featured on My Domaine today and I am so excited for her! She has done interior design for awhile, but she is now taking on more clients! If you live in Cache Valley, contact her to design your new home or to redesign your current one! After I got done photographing it, I was so inspired to make changes in my home, I am currently now trying to use her inspiration to re do my office, it will probably take me awhile to get it finalized, but I want to create a space that makes me happy and inspired to work in.

I love this advice that Katie gave in the interview, “If Booth could offer one piece of decorating advice, it would be to only buy what you love. “I truly feel that you’ll be so much happier with the end result if you fill your home only with things you love and that mean something to you,” she says.” You can see that in the items she chose to decorate her house with, every piece was thought out and intentional! I think this is good advice for so many things in our life!

What to Wear for your Engagement Session | Utah Photographer

March 4, 2019

I’m so glad you decided to do engagement photos before your wedding! An updated, professional photo of the two of you together is the perfect way to announce your wedding day. Engagement sessions are also great way for us to get to know each other and for you to get comfortable in front of my camera before your big day. It’s going to be so fun! Here are five tips for choosing engagement session outfits:

Class it up.

I usually have couples bring two to three outfits. I recommend at least one formal outfit and one casual outfit. The formal outfit really makes your engagement photos classy and timeless. You can do full formal for both of you, or for the bride to wear a dress and have the groom add a sports coat or nice sweater to a casual outfit. For your casual outfits, don’t choose clothes with logos, as they’re distracting in the photos. Neon and florescent colors put off weird color casts on your faces.

These photos are a great excuse to get something new for yourself. Find something you feel comfortable and confident in. I recommend something that dresses you up a little more than your everyday outfits to make these photos special. I encourage the bride to find something she loves first, and then match the groom’s outfit to what she is wearing. I love flowy dresses because they make for great movement photos and they’re flattering on everyone. If you’re pulling items from your closet, make sure they are pressed and laundered.

Don’t be too matchy.

Use coordinating colors, but don’t choose outfits that look the same. Patterns are nice, but I would try to keep them to just one of your outfits, so they don’t compete too much. Variety is good!

Choose your outfits based on the seasons.

If it looks cold outside, dress warmly so you match your environment naturally. Don’t wear short sleeves or shorts in the winter. If you’re dressed warmly with appropriate clothes and shoes, it will make fall and winter shoots look better and be more enjoyable. If it’s summery outside, dress accordingly—light colors and thinner fabrics.

Consider getting your hair and makeup done.

Hair and makeup artists will enhance your natural beauty to help you look your best and camera-ready. This is an investment you’ll be so glad you made! Here’s a list of hair and makeup artists I love to work with (in no particular order):

If you still need help with your outfits, here is a Pinterest board I’ve put together with some ideas! If you still need help deciding, I’m happy to help. Just text me some photos of what you are thinking and we’ll find a combo that will help you and your fiancé look stunning in your photos!

Thomas S Monson Center Wedding | Salt Lake Wedding Photographer

February 14, 2019

These two just had their first baby, I figured it was time to blog their wedding! I just loved their engagements session too, the mountain setting was perfect, click here to see their engagements up Big Cottonwood Canyon!

April is one of my favorite times of the year to photograph weddings at the Salt Lake LDS Temple, the blossoms and tulips are so amazing in during the spring. The blossoms came a bit early last year, so we were lucky to get them still in bloom!

Brooke planned the most amazing details for their wedding day! She chose a Leanne Marshal wedding dress from Alta Moda, her dresses are so magical The movement that they have is so stunning, especially when you have winds like we did for their formal session before their wedding, it was so windy and cold! She picked out the most gorgeous pair of Giorgio Armani shoes, they are seriously to die for! Her wedding dinner was held at Thomas S Monson Center, it is a newer venue in Salt Lake City and it is so elegant, the exterior is so fun to shoot around, everything is so beautiful. Their rings were purchased at S.E. Needham jewelers in Logan, Utah and I just love the oval setting in her ring! These two were so much fun to work with! Scroll through the blog and be inspired for your Spring Wedding!

I just love this time of year, I know some people hate the end of winter, because we are in between seasons but there is so much to love about February! For one I try to get in as many ski adventures in before the snow is gone, it always goes too fast in my opinion! And two Valentines Day! It is such a fun day to celebrate love, so many get engaged at this time of year and start planning their big events! If you were one of those to get engaged, I would love to talk to you about your upcoming wedding! Email me today, I would love to hear about your proposal story! jessica@jessicasphoto.com
