Shopping for a dress

A few tips about shopping for your wedding dress:

#1 If possible go early on a weekday when the store is less crowded and will get more attention from the consultants.
#2 Only bring a few people with you, while it may be tempting to bring all 10 of your bridesmaids, your mom, your aunt, and your cousins, they will all have different opinions making it harder for you to make decisions.
#3 Wear appropriate undergarments, no red thongs! It is also helpful to wear the bra or corset you will wear on your wedding day so you can see how it all works together.
#4 Do your hair and makeup, it will help set the tone.
#5 Wear the shoes you will be wearing on the wedding day, or something similar.

BACKYARD weddings

new pics!!

Just posted new pictures from a wedding I did in June for Amy & Danny. It was held in a friend's backyard in Farmington, with a beautiful view of the city. It rained earlier that day and we were concerned, but it turned out beautiful for the ceremony and reception. Here are few, but check them out in the gallery on my website.

Sara and John

A few pics from Sara and John's luau theme wedding...

compliments of Megan Kunz Photography.

John and Sara are such a cute couple. The wedding took place in the bride's parent's backyard. I had so much fun creating the sand and shell centerpieces for them. We thought it might rain, but it turned out to be perfect weather. Everyone loved the luau menu of Kalua pork, teriyaki beef and chicken skewers, sweet bread, tropical fruit, passion fruit juice, and strawberry daquiries and pina coladas!
