Utah SLC Wedding Photographer | Hadley + Branden

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Stuart 😍 This is to date one of my favorite bridal sessions I’ve done as a Utah SLC wedding photographer!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hadley and Branden met on mutual, first dated hiking in the snow with a giant thermos of hot chocolate (what a gentleman) 💕 ❄️, and jazz gamed it up a week later 🏀.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Mid covid craziness Hadley was just chilling with her family in St George on a walk. And while they were walking there were hearts all of the pathway. Suspicious 😏

Hadley was like ” wow that’s neat someone must have just proposed” 🤷🏻‍♀️ when all the sudden she saw Braden standing further down the path with flowers.

HOW CUTE IS THAT?!

I literally could’ve spent all day with these amazing, gorgeous peeps ❤️ And the funniest thing happened. At our session, Branden ran back to the car to grab something before we got started. And as he’s running past a car in the parking lot, they started honking at him! So we all looked over to see who it was and…

Even the dogs in the car agreed he was looking sharp 😂 Hadley, you’ve got competition! 🐶😅

 

P.S. There was tons of scaffolding at the temple but with some creative angling you would never know! I love the creativity I get to use in my job. ❤️ So happy for these two and am so grateful I got to share in such a special moment!

 

XO,
