Michael Starks...Rest in Peace

Tragedy strikes and the world loses one of the good ones. Michael died from extreme alcohol poisoning at Utah State University where he was student.  Police are looking into it as a fraternity initiation incident and may bring charges since Mike was only 18.  Let me say that Chris and I were extremely fortunate to have been a part of this young man's life for the short time that we were. Michael joined our volkswagen club and would frequent our house to get mechanic advice and help from Chris or to just hang out and talk for while. He was genuinely one of the sweetest young guys we knew and we believed that he would grow up to be an amazing adult man. He attended Judge Memorial Catholic High School where he took yoga classes and made films.  He was smart and funny and he wanted to be fire fighter.  We are truly going to miss this guy and our hearts go out to his family.  

Barker 50th Wedding Anniversary

Meet Lorraine and Boyd. They've been married for 50 years, have 4 children and are still in love. I had the absolute pleasure of photographing their 50th wedding anniversary celebration which was organized by their children. They were surrounded by friends and family as well as tons of memorabilia of their wedding and union 50 years ago. It's so inspiring to not only see a couple who has shared so much of their life together, but to see a couple who has shared that life in love.

Amie & Joe Wedding

I should have posted this quite some time ago...

Amie and Joe were married among their family and close friends, on a gorgeous summer day at the Hotel Park City. It was a small and intimate wedding that joined two beautiful families.
