Tiffany and Jorden . Manti Utah LDS Temple Wedding Photography

Tiffany and Jorden were sealed in the Manti Utah LDS Temple in May and I was lucky enough to be their wedding photographerMy awesome intern Stephanie of Stephanie Patterson Photography came along to second shoot. It was an absolutely gorgeous day as the sun shone down from the skies above. A slight breeze blew from the north west that added a light chill that brought goosebumps to ones skin although it was still warm enough to melt any chocolate that one might have left in their vehicles. Speaking of chocolate, we had a slight wait for them to come out of the temple, so we stopped by a little candy shop, and in case curiosity gets the best of you and you are tempted to try a beef jerky cluster (chocolate covered beef jerky), I speak from personal experience when I say you aren’t missing anything if you decide not to try it

The temple shots went very well. When I say they went well, that pretty much means I didn’t do anything to embarrass myself too bad and I didn’t trip over my shoe laces, although some might say my tie tying skills would be the prime example of embarrassing. After getting some killer shots in Manti, we headed up to the reception.

The reception was just as cool as the slight breeze that blew through the air in Manti. Decorated with the most lovely flowers with colors as bright as the brightest rainbow. As the slight breeze blew past the flowers, the scents would catch your nose ever so slightly, but soon the breeze turned strong and began to blow over the centerpieces. The thing I loved most though is that this unfortunate turn of events didn’t put a damper on Tiffany and Jorden’s spirits. These two are so in love and have such happy personalities that they were able to focus solely on their love and not let the crashing of centerpieces take away from that moment.

One of the highlights of the night (besides the 20 italian sodas of which I partook) was the fireworks immediately following the cake cutting. What better way to symbolize the way these two felt for each other. As the sparkly balls of fire lit up the night, I equated the red bursts as the passion they share, the blue bursts as the solemn and tranquil moments they will share together, and the colorful green bursts as tall redwood trees and the long life they will spend with each other. Tiffany and Jorden, thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer and allowing me to document this most special day in your lives.

I’d love to hear from anyone that hasn’t closed this blog post out yet, what were some of your favorite images from this post and would you ever willingly try a piece of beef jerky cluster chocolate?
