Certainly an unforgettable wedding, Beesh and Chad's wedding was featured in Marry Me Ink 

I first photographed Beesh on one of my favorite trash the dress shoots.  She had been a single mom for several years and decided pictures of her destroying her wedding dress would be better than storing it.  Of course, I agreed.  

Single mom trashes her wedding dress and loves it.

It wasn't too long after this shoot I found out Beesh was in a serious relationship.  I thought how perfect would it be to surprise Beesh with some candid shots of the moment Chad proposed so that's what we did.  

Utah Wedding Engagements

Chad, our kids and I went to dinner at his mom's house before going to the Zoolights at Hoggle Zoo. It was really windy that night, scary almost, but Chad was determined we were going to see the lights so we went. Once there we start walking around looking at the animals and enjoying the lights, we stopped by the monkeys (my favorite animal) and stayed for a minute admiring them, I decide to turn to walk to another part when Chad grabs me and tells me that he loves me and gets down on one knee, I feel him tremble a bit as he reaches in his pocket and pulls out a small box, he again tells me how much he loves me opens the box and asked me to marry him. I get an ear to ear smile and threw my arms around his neck and tell him that I love him followed by a simple yes.  ~Beesh
