Bridals.

Shilo and Kody had scheduled to take their bridals on December 4th. Because there had not been a lot of snow around that time, and things looked pretty dead and brown, their photographer suggested they take indoor pictures at the Utah State Capitol. Shilo and Kody got ready for the indoor shoot, only to find out last minute that President Trump was at the State Capitol that day (seriously?? THAT EXACT DAY?), so they would need to change their location. They ended up back in the area they took their engagement photos, and it was blanketed with a beautiful layer of fresh snow.

It would have been perfect, had Ko and Lo (how's that for name-shortening nicknames?? I like it!) been prepared for the winter weather. They did, however, push through the frigid temps, wet feet, freezing body parts, and yes, even some falling snow... and it was totally worth it (says the person who didn't have to endure it and was most likely warm and cozy at the time haha).

Here are a few of my favorites:

None of my other children did bridal pictures. I think it wasn't so much of a "thing" at the time. I did bridals, but back in the 80's they were quite literally "bridals." I'm not quite sure what you do with them AFTER the wedding. I think my mom has this hanging somewhere...

Such a better idea to have both the bride and groom in the pictures, wouldn't you agree?

I truly appreciate a photographer who will endure the elements as well to snap such fantastic pics!

Next up, Lo and Ko's big day :-)
