Wedding Dress Dreams

Just a heads up, today’s post is AWESOME! Keep reading to grab the tea on the details behind Utah Valley Bride’s 2019 dress spread! I’ll preface with this: this event was what all our wedding dress dreams are made of!

I recently had the privilege of shooting the 2020 dress spread for Utah Valley Bride. This is my third time working alongside the UVB team and I’ve got to say, each year just gets better and better- specifically with dress spreads. If I told you I shot 51 dresses in 6 hours, would you believe me? It’s true, I swear! Dress spread shoots are intense, but SO much fun. It is a blast getting to see all the different styles of dresses and watching all the moving parts come together for one final piece. It also reminds me of the truth that there really is a dress out there for everyone- every silhouette, every style, every unique dress dream. Whether you’re going for a boho look or you want a classic ball gown, it’s all out there, sis!

That being said, today we are celebrating the coming of the New Year with the beautiful dresses that were featured in the UVB 2019 issue. Enjoy!!
