TJ & Brandi | Bridal Pictures

You may remember seeing TJ and Brandi's engagement pictures here... About an hour before we were supposed to start taking pictures, it started pouring rain. I had my windshield wipers at full speed and just kept praying we would be able to get some decent pictures. We began taking pictures right in front of the Jordan River Temple, the only covered spot available. I kept telling Brandi and TJ that the rain was going to stop and finally, voila!, it did. We rushed out into the open area near the fountain and I started shooting furiously, just in case the rain paid us another visit. I had so much fun taking these pictures. Despite the stress of the rain, there was so much laughter, as you can see in the pictures below. Enjoy!

TJ & Brandi | Engagement pictures

I met Brandi while I was serving a mission in Philadelphia. The first day we met, I told her I would design her wedding invitation someday. We were both planning on that being a year or so from now, but I could not be happier for Brandi and TJ and I was so excited to get to take their engagement pictures! We ventured out to Antelope Island, as per TJ's request. I was giddy with delight when I saw all the gorgeous places to shoot. And then we got out of the car. Oh my BUGS! I'm still in amazement that you can't see a single flying critter in any of the pictures. See that blanket? Yeah, it's sole purpose was to afford (albeit limited) protection from the sheets of bugs. I could only take a few pictures in a row before I had to shake the gnats off my arm and out of my nose. It was insane! But this gorgeous couple suffered through it and laughed the whole time.
