Cliff-Top Wedding on Devil's Backbone.

November 04, 2019  •  Leave a Comment

I was recently asked what was the craziest wedding ceremony I've photographed.  I'm not sure this is the craziest, but it's the only one I had to mentally map out how many steps I could take without falling off a cliff while shooting.  My hat is tipped to this bride who was married on top of a cliff in Louboutin high heels.

  We stayed and got ready at Capitol Reef Resort in Torrey, Utah.

This was a magical light moment as the bride and groom were positioning for the wedding party to arrive to the ceremony site.  I'm not sure if Fred believed me when I told him Ashley was glowing until he turned to see for himself.  Thank you sun!  The reflection of light from the rock she was facing provided the perfect fill light.  Capturing both an endearing human moment and a moment of magic light is really what it's all about for me.
