Vandi’s Winter Bridal Photography: Star Valley Wyoming

Blake Beus | Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Was it brisk?  Yeah, it was really brisk, but I was prepared.  Gloves, hat, winter coat, hand warmers.  If you live in an area that gets snow, you know the drill. Who would go out unprepared?  I certainly wouldn’t.  Especially when the temperature gets down to the single digits.  You’d have to be a little bit crazy to go out in the cold in just a wedding gown.  Unless . . . you want to get some amazing winter wedding photos.

Vandi happens to be my little sister. People used to say that we look alike. I used to get offended and assume that I looked like a girl.  This is one of the reasons that you’ll often find me sporting some sort of facial hair now-a-days.  Even though she is already married, the fact that she never had bridals prompted this winter wedding photo shoot over our Christmas vacation in Star Valley.  It was literally so cold that we only spent about 30 minutes shooting pictures.  That was including time sitting in the constantly running car to warm up every few minutes.

We had a ton of fun, and captured some awesome images.

Speaking at the SLC SmugMug Meeting Tonight

Blake Beus | Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Bryant and I are speaking at the SLC SmugMug meeting tonight at 7:00.  We are pretty darn excited that we will be speaking to a group of top notch photographers about ways to improve their online experience. I’m so glad that being a geek is in right now. Normally, when I start talking about web design, eyes start to glaze over, and people with diabetes go into insulin shock. However, I’m confident that we will be having a really fun time tonight. We have a really awesome presentation prepared and you are not going to want to miss it.

If you are interested in coming, you can RSVP on Facebook here.

Here are the full details:

Amy & Jeff’s Mayan Riviera Wedding in Cancun Mexico

Bryant Wimmer | Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Well, here is our Cancun Mexico wedding shoot with Amy and Jeff. We had so much fun shooting in Mexico and made some wonderful friends. Jeff is an amazing home architect and has designed several homes for many of Hollywood’s elite. Amy is a real estate extraordinaire in St. George, UT, and happened to meet Jeff during the Parade of Homes (of which Jeff had designed several of the homes). The two are a fantastic couple and are so in love with each other. Here are some of my favorite shots of the weekend in Mexico. I can’t wait for the reception in April. Enjoy!

Mayan Riviera Wedding Teaser

Bryant Wimmer | Monday, February 8th, 2010

Bo ya! I beat the winter cold and headed to Cancun Mexico for a fantastic wedding shoot on the beach, near the palm trees, in the sand…it was fabulous. Blake is still jealous, despite the fact that I did come back looking like something served at Red Lobster. I couldn’t say more about Amy (from St. George, UT) and Jeff (from Los Angeles, CA). They were married at The Grand Mayan Resort (aka Mayan Palace) on the beach with a couple friends present. Enjoy this teaser…more to come.

Missy’s Winter Bridals: Star Valley Wyoming

Blake Beus | Saturday, January 30th, 2010

While Bryant is off in Mexico shooting a wedding, I thought it would be appropriate to post some winter bridals. My hope is that he will check the blog while he is gone and have pity on those of us who are stuck back in Utah enduring the cold. Part of me hopes that he forgets to put sunblock on and comes back looking like something Red Lobster would envy.

When Missy and I got married, we were pretty much broke.  Funds were so tight that we decided to skip out on the bridals, and just have a photographer at the wedding.  We sometimes regret that we skipped the bridals.  While we were visiting my parents in Star Valley Wyoming for Christmas, we thought it might be fun to take some winter bridals.  I had a warm winter clothes on, and I was a bit chilled, yet Missy kept insisting that it wasn’t too bad (I couldn’t feel my fingers for part of the shoot).

One of the most difficult things about photography, at least for me, is deciding which way I want to go with the post processing.  Sometimes very natural looking images just look so good, others I just love the uniqueness that is added with some creative post processing.  For this post, I decided split some of my favorites up into groups depending on how they were processed.
