Brayla and Mckays Engagement Photos

January 12th: So at the time Brayla and I started planning this photoshoot she wasn't engaged. In fact, a couple nights before Mckay messaged me to keep the plans going because he would be proposing before I saw them for this photoshoot. Well now I was in on a little secret that made me giddy with delight.
So on January 12th, We met up at 7 am at Utah Lake (which is an hour drive for me) to do a sunrise photoshoot. Brayla had seen another photographer post images of her sunrise shoot at the lake so that is where the idea came from.

It was long day. William stayed in the car, and played games on my phone. I shot for about 20 minutes by myself before Jake left the car and came to help me. The car was only like a two minute walk from where we were, so we weren't worried. Plus it was cold so we didn't want to bring William outside. It was overcast so we didn't get the warm sun glow in the photos til near the end.

Jake and I are a great team. And I love him so much for helping me achieve this dream/goal. And for having an eye for detail. After the photos are Utah Lake we went home. Brayla had a wedding thing to go to for a friend of hers. Eventually it was decided we would meet up for the other photoshoot in the mountians and snow she wanted to do. So we met up just off the Lehi exit by the outlet mall. And since we were supposed to meet up with my parents in Orem to pick up the girls Jake and I had to split up. He took William and the car and left to go meet my parents. Which apparently he waited for like an hour before they got to the meeting place. I on the other hand hopped into the car with Brayla and Mckay and we headed up American Fork Canyon. Now apparently I didn't tell Jake exactly where we were going so when we were leaving I was hoping (since there was no cell service) that I'd see the car and he hadn't taken a wrong turn, or better yet he wasn't even in the canyon. Well we were about ten minutes from the bottom of the canyon when we spotted the car and Jake spotted us but it still took another ten minutes before he was able to flip around, come back down, and meet us outside of the canyon.

Brayla and Mckay were such good sports. We took the pictures around the Tibble Fork Reservoir up American Fork Canyon. The snow was sooo deep! All in all the day was crazy, but we got good pictures and had a lot of fun doing so.
