Patricia’s Exotic Wedding is Now Online

Posted by BryCox (Admin)

Patricia had her wedding in San Diego, California, reception nearby in La Jolla, and a second reception later in Utah at the Grand America. Her finished wedding album was a surprise from her parents to her for Christmas. And because I love my work better in person in a finished album, I held off on posting her images until her parents gave her the beautiful heirloom album.

It’s now safe to post these and I’m excited to do so because it is so fantastic! I can’t wait for you to see it. This image below was taken on the cliffs of La Jolla, and in person, looking at the album, you can see every wave in the distance, and feel the glow of the sun breaking through the clouds, and really feel the love of these two people.

There are some single images that take up double-page spreads in a dramatic way like this image below of the couple at the San Diego Temple. And though you can see the entire album on my website as of today, I will have this  album with me on January 19th at the free Salt Lake Premier Wedding Show.

I hope you can come see it, because nothing beats seeing one of my finished albums in person. This double-page spread below looks amazing close up where you can see the lighting, the clouds, the composition, and the expressions.

I try to keep at least 5 entire wedding album designs up on my website at any one time, but as of today I have SIX! I love showing the variety of albums that span brides with various ages, body shapes and styles, and images that cover their entire day with various conditions, sunny days, stormy days, daytime, nighttime, inside, outside.

No matter what, I want you to be happy and confident on your wedding knowing that I know how make you look great. Check out Patricia’s stunning and exotic wedding online and come see me on January 19th.

Gregory & Natalie’s Wedding Album Design at the Grand America Hotel

Posted by BryCox (Admin)

What an honor it was to be apart of Gregory and Natalie’s wedding day love story.  They are from Tennessee and flew in to Utah to get married here at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake.  While dating, they had a great trip to Utah and decided it was the place for their romantic wedding.

Here are a couple page layouts from their final wedding album design.  You can see the entire wedding album as a slideshow by clicking on any one of the pages.

The day started off with Natalie getting pampered in the Grand’s spa.  Later, they began to get ready for the ceremony in their hotel room.

Keep in mind that these page layouts that you see here are actually double-page spreads.  They fold in the middle, so you are really seeing two pages up at a time.

Later the ceremony began out on one of the balconies overlooking the beautiful city and Salt Lake valley.

Gregory and Natalie flew out of town for this wedding to be in a quiet and serene place away from everyone.  This made it a very  unique wedding to photograph because there weren’t crowds of people — just us, the couple and me.  In fact, the hotel’s concierge and I were asked to be wedding witnesses.  Here we are signing the papers.

After the ceremony, we went about creating fantastic and romantic images of the two of them.  I love this double-page spread of the two of them kissing in the hotel’s courtyard.

We even walked around the streets of Salt Lake creating photographs for their album.  And though Gregory and Natalie are not Mormon, they love the city and the beautify of the iconic temple in the center of town.  So we stopped there to create a few images as well.

This was a wonderful and emotional day.  I loved being apart of their day and spent a lot of time designing the absolute perfect wedding album for them.  If you’d like to see their entire wedding album design as a slideshow, click here.
