Tulip Season | Spring Salt Lake Temple Bridals | Utah Bridal Photographer

Tulip Season

Spring flowers and trees covered in blossoms scream romance to me. Then you add tulip season to the mix and is there anything better than all of the beautiful spring colors emerging after a LONG winter? I think not. Taking Jane’s bridals at the Salt Lake Temple during the height of everything blooming was a treat! Not the kind of treat some of us used to sing about making out of blossoms just like these that were popping from apricot trees, but you get the picture. Spring Bridals at the Salt Lake Temple | Brooke Bakken | Utah Bridal PhotographerSpring Bridals at the Salt Lake Temple | Brooke Bakken | Utah Bridal PhotographerBridals under a tree with spring blossoms | Brooke Bakken | Utah Bridal Photographer Wedding gown perfect for spring | Brooke Bakken | Utah Bridal Photographer

How They Me

Talk about these two being educated in romance, Jane met Chris during school orientation at BYU-Idaho! If you’re from Utah I’m sure you have heard the rumor that college can be a goldmine for finding a spouse. Rumor has it, especially anywhere that has BYU in it.

Falling in Love

It didn’t take long for Jane to fall in love with Chris.  She says she thinks she fell in love with him on the very first date. They had so much fun together and Jane said it was the most fun date she had EVER been on. They clicked so much and had SO MUCH FUN! Even though, Jane admitted it was probably during that first date that she fell in love with Chris, it wasn’t until a few months later that she realized she was in love with him.

The Proposal

On New Year’s Eve last year, Chris took Jane to a romantic dinner at Cheesecake Factory then they enjoyed a walk around temple square, which just happened to be beautifully lit up with Christmas lights.  He then brought her to a “work party” that actually ended up being his proposal! He must have planned well because Jane was SO surprised and excited when he proposed that night!!! It’s no surprise that Jane would pick the Salt Lake Temple as the perfect place for bridals. With memories of their proposal centered around  walking the grounds of the Salt Lake Temple, temple square during tulip season presented the perfect backdrop for these lovebirds.

What They Love Most

They both agree that what they love most is how much fun they have together. Even after knowing each other for over two years they still fully enjoy each date and outing together.  They both LOVE to ski and long-board together and I’m starting to see why they said they have such a great time together!  These two know how to get out and have fun to the fullest!

What They are Looking Forward to in Marriage

With so many elements fighting for number one on the list of what will be best about being married, they are both so excited to spend  forever with each other. Jane said, “I am seriously just so excited that I get to spend my forever with him. It makes me so giddy.”  Is that not the sweetest sentiment?!  It’s pretty apparent after spending tie with these two for Jane’s bridals that they are crazy about each other and love spending every minute with each other.

Wedding colors

Champagne gold and blush pink make the perfect compliment to this spring shoot and I love that color combo for weddings! It’s romantic and classy and I have no doubt it will look beautiful together as their wedding colors on their big day.
