Little Cottonwood Boho Bridal

 You are going to die over these perfect boho bridals! We did an (almost) traditional bridal session that focused on the bride herself, Mrs. Whitney Breton! She is wearing a stunner Free People dress that has layered, soft lace and a scalloped neckline. She is also sporting a beautiful head piece and boho hair by Bethany Loveless. Her ring was made by Studio de Lucca, and flowers were designed by Wright Flower Company. Last, of course, her photos were taken by Lemontine Photography's Becky Longhurst. (Yours truly<3)

When I arrived at this location (early) I was hiking around in perfect solitude. It was seriously so beautiful. The pines are as tall as skyscrapers and there were winding rivers and wildflowers. It was like a dream. Imagine, walking through this completely alone, in the peaceful quiet. Suddenly I hear a rustling in the bushes. Instant rush of adrenaline and fear.. I was standing about 10 yards away from a MOOSE.  I have never seen a moose before so this totally freaked me out. I ran away as fast as my feet could go!  Later, at the end of our session, we saw three more moose!!

These photos were featured on Utah Valley Bride's website and you can see the feature HERE.

Last but not least, location. I know you are all dying over these mountains and those wildflowers. Want in on the secret? This hot spot is located in Little Cottonwood Canyon. It is only accessible in the summer months and is worth every bit of the drive up that mountain. Prime time to shoot here is July or August. 

Have a fabulous Friday!

Cheers, 

Becky

Hobble Creek Canyon

Happy Wednesday everyone, and as Cameo down at Rees Elementary would say, "Happy Friday Eve EVE"!

It's been about a week since I have posted anything on the blog. Sorry. Life is so busy! We recently moved which took up a ton of my time and between unpacking, editing, and juggling my little love... Lemontine blogging was put on the back burner.

I've been trying to think about what I want to share with you today and I decided on something springy and warm because frankly, I am freezing! I swear that fall chilliness waltzed right in yesterday morning and decided it's hear to stay.

These spring pictures were taken mid-morning near Springville, UT in Hobble Creek Canyon. I love to shoot at this specific location in the morning because of the fabulous tree you see. This tree is one of my favorites. It arches perfectly and offers a green and yellow speckled background with lots of open shade for mid-morning sessions. There are also lots of other spots nearby that offer variety. There is an old white barn, mountain views, a river, and luscious pathways of overgrown vegetation.

Let me tell you a little bit about each of the couples that you see at this location. The first couple is Caitlyn and Drew. They are adorable. They have Idaho roots... which I love. (Yay for BYU-I!) These two knew each other long before they really thought anything special of each other. They both served missions and it was after their missions that the sparks flew. At their reception that had this sweet video that showed them each telling their love story, but without knowing what the other one was saying. It was so cute. I always get emotional at weddings and this was one of those moments for me. Listening to them talk about how they fell in love... and who really made the move for their first kiss... so sweet. I am ALWAYS reminded of my own wedding and how incredibly happy I felt on that day when I watch other people on their own wedding days.

The second couple that you see are Sierra and Scotty. They are clearly perfect. Sierra was literally in beauty pageants. Model. So when we went out to take their engagements we were all shocked because I took them to this little clearing where I wanted to shoot and it was RIGHT WHERE he took her on their first date!!! NOT EVEN PLANNED. I was so excited. It was so cute to watch them interact with one another.

So now you have seen it. A beautiful, local location, and two gorgeous couples. Hope you love them.

PS. I have been working like crazy on building my Pinterest up.. you should run over there and check it out!!

Cheers,
Becky

Aspen Bridal with Kirsten

Introducing Kirsten Kizerian, bride. Isn't she lovely?

I love Kirsten for a ton of reasons. Number one: She is a model. I usually coach people along and prompt poses but not with this lady. She simply knew exactly what to do all of the time and she looked dang stunning while doing so! There are so many shots where she so naturally held one of her hands up to her face, or nonchalantly looked way from the camera. Perfect posing.  I also fell in love with her dress the minute that I saw it. The beaded lace at the top, and my favorite, the heavy, silky, draped bottom. Her dress falls perfectly.. every single time. So pretty.

Kirsten is not only beautiful but she is a total creative herself. She designs beautiful things and takes pretty pictures... Check out her website here. I totally picked her brain the whole time about different design questions that I have had FOREVER and she knew how to help me with every single one!!! The sad thing is she made it seem SO SIMPLE. I love her.

Okay, down to the nitty gritty. You might be wondering where we took these stunning aspen bridals. Well, you have the fabulous Mount Timpanogos to thank. It's most likely right in your back yard if you are one of my Utah peeps. The aspen location is located right off of the Alpine Loop, and the second location is at the Timpooneke trailhead.  Both locations are easy to access and so stunning to shoot at, or even just to hike around.

My husband and I were talking after this shoot and I was telling him about the places that we went to shoot (the loop and Timpooneke) and he laughed and told me that I really know Utah now. I got to thinking and you know what... I really do! I know SO MANY little places with strange names like 'Salamander Flats' and 'Albion' that are so beautiful to shoot. I have really grown to appreciate Utah over the last six years. I still miss the beach, and I don't ever think I will be comfortable driving in the snow, but I do love the mountains. They have so much to offer.

Take a minute to scroll through and enjoy these stunning bridals + views!
