when i say nothing was going to stop oscar + emily from enjoying their wedding day, i mean it. these two were determined to have the greatest happiness– to have the best day of their lives. and i’m 115 percent sure that’s just what they did! despite the craziest rain storm of summer raining out their backyard reception, the day started out full of happiness and light, and it ended just the same!

emily + oscar are the most joyous pair. every aspect of their wedding day was so perfect. after being wed in the oquirrh mountain lds temple, we snuck in some gorgeous bridal portraits and family photos before heading to their reception. their reception was filled with heartfelt words, a homemade cake (by the bride herself! so talented!), and a blend of cultures. emily learned a song in spanish to sing to oscar, and there was so much fun salsa dancing. and after the first dances, oscar, emily, + their wedding party busted out in a surprise flash mob performance of one direction’s “one thing.” so much fun! seriously, i couldn’t stop smiling.

mr. and mrs. (now jimenez) are two remarkably nice individuals. they’re two of the most down-to-earth people i’ve met, and i’m so lucky to call them friends. i also don’t know if i’ve ever met anyone so calm and relaxed on their wedding day… they were just busy taking in the moments and enjoying every second of it!

i loved photographing these two’s joy and love. i loved meeting their wonderful families and getting to use my spanish (thegroom’s sweet family is from mexico). i loved allll of it. and i think you might too!

congratulations to the jimenez family! i hope you’re enjoying your first christmas season together.

XO,

anna
