The view to the east at sunset from Mesa Arch in the Island In The Sky district of Canyonlands National Park in Utah.
Last Sunday Leah and I shared one of our best days in Utah with my sister in law Liz and her boyfriend Dylan. We started the day skiing powder at Snowbird after a 30″ storm, then drove to Moab and made it in time for the sunset. I took this photograph that evening in Arches National Park in The Garden of Eden, and it combines these two landscapes – the dry desert red rocks with the snowy peaks of the La Sals in the background.
I was so flattered when Sarah, the talented photographer behind Sparkle Photography, asked me to photograph engagement pictures for her and Ryan and their dog Pilot. Sarah and Ryan have recently moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, but were back in Park City recently. We started at Ryan’s family’s house and then went to the old downtown of Park City. It was a very cold day so we ducked into Le Bar Boheme for a much needed hot drink. Sarah and Ryan passed up the traditional big wedding and eloped on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola at Whistler Blackcomb, BC! Their friend Annie made an amazing animated announcement that tells the story of their elopement ceremony. Congratulations Sarah and Ryan!
Jessica and Eric met me for their engagement session at 9th and 9th (900 east and 900 south) which is populated with lots of great shops and restaurants and is close to where we all live. We had coffee at the Coffee Garden, appetizers and drinks at Mazza’s, and gelato at Dolcetti as the twilight set in. Jessica and Eric will be getting married this weekend so they will appear here again very soon!
