Vanessa & Lucas: Temple

Vanessa and Lucas had just flown in from Hawaii (BYU Hawaii students) and had to face our famous winter weather at the Salt Lake Temple.

I tried to coach them into imagining that those blasts of wind chill were really just tropical breezes...to no avail of course.

In the end, both my coat and a blanket I brought for Vanessa were no match for the snow blowing sideways on us, which in classic Utah fashion, came suddenly. We had about 10 mintues of relatively calm cold for family pictures...and then everything got...challenging, but I gotta hand it to them, they were troopers.

And what an amazing family! Lots of sunshine and happiness, despite the weather.

Vanessa & Lucas: Date and Love Story

Vanessa and Lucas are an absolutely adorable couple. We got together to shoot for about an hour at Vanessa's house...less than 2 days before their wedding. (they had just flown in from Hawaii, both being BYU Hawaii students)

Lucas is really, REALLY tall (6' 9" I think) and plays basketball professionally in Brazil. (his native country)

Vanessa has great timing when fouling so that he can't dunk on her. She nearly took his arm off on one play...as you'll see.
