COLORFUL BACKYARD WED, UT by Ricardo Quintana

My favorite backyard wedding ever! Beautiful energy all around with this couple.

“Ricardo was the perfect photographer for our wedding day! We had a small backyard wedding with outdoor ceremony and reception in Emigration Canyon in june, and he handled all the lighting and weather variables like a total pro! The overall feel of our photos turned out to be romantic and intimate, but still fun and vibrant and he really captured the beauty and joy of our day! Ricardo is also incredibly kind, funny, and puts you right at ease! As a busy bride that had enough on my plate, I appreciated that I didn’t have to provide him with a “shot list” (although he said I could if I wanted to), I just expected him to know what to get photos of, and he did! We just couldn’t be happier with his work. Hire him! You’ll be happy to have had the pleasure of working with a talented artist like Ricardo!” - Monica Walker, (Monica and Peter).

I simply loved sharing with this couple, they already have a friend in me every time they come to Salt Lake.

Flowers: https://www.nativeflowercompany.com/Native put up with a lot of crap from me and my mom. They're saints. And they work with local farmers to provide the freshest, most beautiful blooms and support local industry. Their instagram is beautiful.

Dress: https://www.bridalbrilliancerentals.com/Dresses cap at $600. So this is an excellent and affordable but classy alternative for the budget-minded and eco-friendly bride. They have a great instagram too.

HAMU: https://www.hairbymorgandixon.com/Morgan has been my hair girl forever and she's amazing, talented, and so friendly. She has lots of experience with bridals.

Nails: https://www.instagram.com/crow_nail_studio/?hl=enLori was super professional and an amazing artist.

Suit: Nordstrom's Fashion Place MallWe picked Peter's suit out on Wednesday and they had it tailored and ready for pickup by friday. It was a miracle after we had a disaster with a rental.

Live Music: http://www.mistersistertrio.com/They were perfect for our small event, had a decent song collection, and were willing to learn new songs for the aisle walk.

WEDDING QUERETARO, MEXICO by Ricardo Quintana

Viri and Ricardo’s wedding was next level, it was such a bliss from start to end. The amazing Venue, beautiful ceremony, neon lights, incredible food, smoke bombs, great music, mariachis and even some fireworks by the end.

This was my third time in Mexico, but first time in Queretaro, a colorful city with a ton of colonial architecture.
