Happy Christmas Eve!

What a wonderful weekend we get to enjoy.  My favorite holiday, Christmas.

Many families carry on the tradition of reading the Christmas story from the Bible -- and in that light, I thought I would post a couple of nativity shots.

Safe journeys to those who are traveling, and may love bless you this holiday weekend!

Winter Wedding

The best Saturdays are those I get to spend with brides on their wedding day.

This couple was absolutely adorable.  They held their wedding at the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in American Fork, Utah, and then had a lovely reception closeby.  (I admit, as a photographer in Utah -- where most people tend to use the church gymnasium as their venue -- it's nice to be in an actual reception hall once in a while.)

Many congratulations to this charming couple!

Christmas Bling

I confess -- I love a good sparklie!  And one of the best parts of Christmas for me is all the fun "bling"!  Especially when I whip out the star filter and each light on the tree becomes a bright shiny star.

Here are a few of my favorites over the years.

And for the ULTIMATE bling...



San Francisco City Hall

Last week, I traveled out to San Francisco.  I try and do something new every time I'm there.  This time, it was City Hall.  What a beautiful ceiling!  I'd love to take a bride there someday.

Christmas Bits and Baubles

This weekend, while visiting a friend, I got to help her decorate her Christmas tree.  It's always one of my favorite holiday activities.  Bring on the ornaments!

On Santa's Naughty List...

I wear this pin every year.  The minute the holiday season opens, the pin comes out and is proudly worn, along with the hat.

True confession: I do love Christmas.  :-)
