Weddings

Provo City Center Temple | Hailey + Nick | Utah Wedding Photographer

Provo City Center Temple

I can’t start this off without talking about how beautiful the Provo City Center Temple is. To start with, it is a Provo landmark, originally standing as a tabernacle for as long as I can remember. It was consumed by fire and then restored to the LDS temple it is today. It has so much history to tell and if it wasn’t beautiful enough on it’s own, which it TOTALLY is, now throw a wedding in to the mix and it is nothing but complete perfection for Hailey and Nick’s big day!!

Hailey shared with me that walking into the temple together was one of her ABSOLUTE favorite moments. Adding to that, the moment when the two of them were married with all of their families surrounding them. It was perfect.

Groom’s Favorite Moment

Nick echoed Hailey perfectly, saying that walking into the temple together was his favorite moment. Then seeing all of their families inside. He also told me a few other things that are his favorites but I was forbidden from adding any of that. I’ll just say this, they’re newlyweds and I thought what he shared with me was HILARIOUS!!!  Nice touch Nick, Nice touch indeed.

What They Remember Most

They both remember how happy they were together on their wedding day and the speeches that were given at the family dinner. Sounds memorable, for sure! There isn’t anything like the feeling that exists on wedding days. It makes my  job that much more fun!

Hailey and Nick haven’t actually gone on their official honeymoon yet because they are still in school at BYU. They did get away to Park City for the weekend after the wedding.  I’m sure it was romantic and just what they needed.  Their REAL honeymoon is planned for May and they will be heading to Cancun, Mexico!!! Hello beaches and sun!

Favorite Part of the Honeymoon

Seeing that it was pretty short, since it was only over the weekend, they said it was beautiful and added that the breakfast they enjoyed both days was SOOOOO good. They can’t wait to get to the beach and enjoy spending a week together without the stress of work or school! Sounds good to me!
