WEDDING GLASSHOUSE, UT /  by Ricardo Quintana

I had the pleasure of shooting Valeria and Brady's engagement pictures initially, and let me tell you, it was one of my favorite sessions this year. They're such a beautiful and easygoing couple. The wedding took place at "Shade Home & Garden Events" in Utah, and the ceremony was incredibly emotional, with their dog taking part as a cherished member of the family.

After the ceremony, we were blessed with some stunning sunset light for their family, friends, and formal shots. It was a brief window, but the results were absolutely gorgeous. I appreciated every detail, especially the in memoriam for Brady's mom, which was extremely touching. Now, let's talk about the party – major props to the DJ, who also happened to be a friend of the couple. The energy and music were some of the best I've experienced. Overall, it was a fantastic time capturing these moments with Valeria and Brady.

FORMALS DEAD HORSE POINT, UT /  by Ricardo Quintana

It was so much fun to go to Dead Horse Point with Summer and Bobbie, it wasn’t just about posing in front of the camera in an epic place. It was about them, their story and how well we bonded and share. Road trips to shoot somewhere meaningful or epic are a whole experience that I love having with my clients.

Bobbie for the first time in years wore a dress, that made me feel so honored and humble to document that moment. The only think I wanted for this shoot was empowered their love, using this majestic views. By the end of it, we got those beautiful blues and pinks that I love so much and, brought some real intimate moments.
