Provo Tabernacle

This evening I took an hour and tried to capture some photos of the Provo Tabernacle and the damage the fire did to the historic building several days ago. The area has been fenced off and with the snow it and the access to the building obviously not being very good I did the best I could to capture a photo or two of the tabernacle. Getting a photo without tents, fences and construction equipment of the whole building was near impossible. 

I wanted to take the photo at night in hopes to try and capture the mood of the tabernacle and how incredible sad it is to see such an amazingly historic part of Provo now destroyed. I can see how the above photo can come across dark and kinda creepy, which was not the goal. The goal was to show devastation of losing such an amazing building.

On a completely different note... I am going to take a minute and explain some changes that I have felt are crucial to my business and to make it easier for people to hire me for photography. Making Captured By Dash Photography what it is today has not been an easy road. I have spent hours and hours of hard to work to be where I am today and I am so grateful for everything that has taken place so far. the weddings and couples i've been able to work with have been awesome and I am so grateful that they chose me to be their photographer. With that in mind, I have made some changes to the pricing of my wedding photography. I now am offering two wedding packages, which I feel cater to the most basic needs of any wedding it the photography that takes place for a wedding. I still feel that the prices I offer are some of the most affordable for what I offer. I have raised my prices, but have offered several options in hopes to make it easier for brides to decide whether to have me as their photographer. I am working towards being a vendor at an upcoming bridal show. It takes a lot of hard work to find clients and so I am always looking for other ways to provide my art for as many people as I can. I am so grateful for the people who have helped me get to where I am today. Please take some time to view the several posts on my blog here and to visit my website, Captured By Dash. Thank you. Wish everyone a Happy and Merry Christmas!

Utah Wedding Photographer :: Hailey & Skyler Wedding Day

Had such a great day in Salt Lake with this couple. For October it was incredibly warm and such a beautiful day. The previous post of the Salt Lake Temple was taken this same day.

Utah Wedding Photographer :: Ted & Dani

Addison, Makayla, Kaden...

Two weeks ago I bought a new lens for my camera. My sister and I have been trying to get some photos of her kids for weeks almost months now. From bad weather, and other unexpected events, we finally got a chance to get some photos. The kids were less then cooperative and sure didn't want to get photos done. It's a good thing they've got a patient uncle. Plus I just wanted to use my new lens. Im happy with the way these turned out despite time constraint and unhappy kids. Thanks Amanda for letting me get these.

This photo seems to define the day completely... Cheer up little ones...

Utah Wedding Photographer :: Tracey Bridals

This session was amazing. Tracey is like a sister to me. Having grown up with her family, it was awesome to be able to do these photos for her. We had to do them in two nights due to the sun going down far to early. Tracey was great, she got into her dress two days in a row to get these photos done, im sure she felt like a princess in her dress. Very happy with the way these turned out.

Beautiful Mount Timpanogos

Back in April I went on a sunday drive to find things to photograph. My initial hope was to find someone fly fishing in the river and get some epic looking photograph. As in most cases it didn't happen and I ended up driving much longer than I had planned. As I was driving back to Provo through Heber I pulled onto a side road and was amazed at the beauty of the back side of timp. Pulled the camera out of the car and shot over 30 different photos before I was satisfied with what I had done. Of the 30 or so photos, my favorite is below. This photo is for sale in 5x15 panoramic prints. Contact me for pricing.

Utah Wedding Photographer :: Tyler and Jordan Wedding Day

I have been out of control busy with photo shoots, school and work recently so editing has, not by choice been on the back burner. I finally got some time to get this wedding edited and what an awesome day this was. The weather turned out to be amazing despite the wind before Jordan and Tyler came out of the temple, which then went away and left a beautiful sky to work with. So glad I had the opportunity to work with this couple. I get to do Jordan's brothers wedding in October, engagements a few posts below. Enjoy!
