You just look at them & you instantly know that they are in love. It’s the way Erin lights up when Steve laughs…it’s the way he places his hand in the small of her back. It’s the way that they hold hands over the center divider when they drive in the car. It’s love. It’s simple. And it’s beautiful. Erin & Steve were married on March 13th & just like their love, their wedding day was simply beautiful.

As I arrived at the Mount Timpanogos Temple, the clouds above were dark & heavy. The wind that blew was soooooooo cold that I felt it all the way down to my toes. Right before Erin & Steve walked out of the temple, the heavens opened up & literally dumped the hugest drops of rain I’ve ever seen. Surprisingly, Erin & Steve didn’t mind the cold, rainy weather. Not even a little bit. They laughed when the rain started to pour & they didn’t even care when the snow started to fall on their eyelashes. In all honesty, they didn’t care about the weather. All they cared about was that today was their wedding day & that today was the day that they were starting their own forever. And no amount of rain or snow could ruin their spirits.

Despite the crazy weather, Erin & Steve’s wedding was completely perfect. From Erin’s simple yet stunning bouquet of Cala Lilies to their delicious cake, all the details were wonderful. I was able to photograph their second reception in Reno one week after their wedding & that reception was equally as fabulous. Erin & Steve have wonderful families who are warm & welcoming & such a joy to be around. It was a wonderful experience & I was honored to be part of their special day.

Erin & Steve-I hope you both know that I think the world of you! I had such a wonderful time photographing your special day as well as your second reception. You are a fabulous, fun couple & I know that you will have a wonderful life together. You are a perfect match & I hope your time in Hawaii was incredible! With much love, xoxo, marielle.


They had a simple ring ceremony at the reception site-inside where it was warm & dry!


Erin’s ring is gorgeous! Nice work, Steve!


One week after their wedding, I was able to head to Reno to photograph their second reception. The weather was fabulous & so we spent some more time for Bride & Groom photographs…


This last photograph is by far my favorite from their wedding…

As I walked into Wendy Paul’s kitchen in Utah last week, I was pretty darn sure I had DIED & gone to heaven. Lying on her counter were literally plates & plates of delicious cookies, brownies & other goodies. Being the seriously addicted sweet tooth that I am, I have no idea how I was able to compose myself enough to take these photographs because my mouth was watering the entire time. Luckily, Wendy let me snack on any of the cookies I wanted to taste so I ended up with my camera in one hand & a cookie in the other.

Wendy is so incredibly talented in the kitchen & she just knows what she is doing. She had spent the days before my trip literally baking up a storm-I am so impressed with all her hard work! Her upcoming book, “101 Gourmet Cookies for Everyone” will be coming out this year & I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to photograph the deliciousness. Wendy-I am grateful to know you-you are a person who is seriously as amazing & sweet as your cookies are. Thanks again for this fun opportunity! I’m holding out the hope that heaven is just a bigger version of your kitchen, filled with tons & tons of your heavenly cookies. xoxo, marielle.

Baby Crew.

He’s just itty-bitty. His toes & fingers are tiny & wrinkled….his skin is as smooth as can be. His eyes are bright & filled with wonder. And he is nothing but perfect. Baby Crew is our fabulous friends new baby- Sam & I were just able to meet him for the first time when we were in Utah a few days ago. We had lunch with Crew’s parents, Jentri & Shane & on the way back from lunch, I suggested that we should hang out for longer so I could take some photographs of their sweet baby. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing but I am so glad that we did the photos! Shane & Jentri are darling, adorable parents who are so, so in love with their sweet baby. We were so happy to meet the new addition to their awesome family!

I am always so thankful to see my dear friends have such wonderful things happen in their lives. It is such a blessing to see Shane & Jentri as parents. They are simply adorable with Crew & they are soooooooo excited to be new parents! Without further adieu, here is baby Crew…
