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.

UTAH STATE CAPITOL WEDDING by Ricardo Quintana

Behind the lens, I captured the multicultural union of Alexis and Sione. Their kind personalities and blend of Latino and Pacific Islander traditions made their wedding truly special. From the salt flats engagement shoot to the Utah State Capitol ceremony and lively reception, cultural experiences abounded. The fairy tale-like morning ceremony included children and family, with Sione's son by his side. The reception dazzled with performances like the New Zealand Haka, Caporales dance from Bolivia, and graceful Tongan dances. Alexis's heartfelt Olunga dance symbolized a profound connection and acceptance into the family. This wedding beautifully embraced diversity and honored their unique backgrounds. May their traditions enrich their new family and bring lasting joy.
