Paul and Jill – Dating Engagement Session

Rachel Nielsen — Wed, 29 Apr 2020 02:14:59 +0000

When Paul and Jill told me their idea to re-create their first and favorite dates for their engagement session last fall, I immediately fell in love with the idea! They had 3 places they wanted to take photos at that described and told the story of their dating life together – the University of Utah pharmacy deli, Paul’s kitchen (cooking together), and President’s Circle at the University for some motorcycle images.

Paul and Jill met through Paul’s sister and you can easily see how much they love each other. The excitement to get married was like a spark in the air all night and it was so easy to work with them both! I can’t decide which location I love the most because I’m obsessed with them all!

Alex and Kristy – Salt Flats Engagement Session

Rachel Nielsen — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 22:53:14 +0000

Before all this craziness, I met with Alex and Kristy out at the Salt Flats for their engagement session in February. We had to reschedule 3 times but the weather turned out to be gorgeous. It was definitely worth the wait! We had so much fun and on my getting to know you questionnaire (one of my favorite reads to get to know my clients!!) they mentioned that they both LOVE Cincinnati chili. I wasn’t sure what that was and so I had to ask. They told me that they bring some home with them in a suitcase every time they travel home. I am definitely going to have to try it one of these days!

Their wedding was supposed to be this next week and has now been rescheduled to the fall. I am so excited to work with them again and loved how this whole session turned out!

Noah and Brooke Snowy Mountain Engagements

Rachel Nielsen — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 12:35:27 +0000

I am catching up on my blogging (always haha) and this session is definitely one of my faves! I am a summer girl through and through but snowy sessions are just magic!

Noah and Brooke grew up together and I loved seeing how playful + in love they are! Even though it was freezing, we had so much fun and I am obsessed with the sky we got at the end of the night!

Jeremy and Braunte engagements – Great Salt Lake

Rachel Nielsen — Mon, 04 Feb 2019 12:39:39 +0000

I first met Jeremy and Braunte for their engagement session at Antelope Island (my favorite place!). I knew within a few minutes that they were going to be amazing to work with. They were laid back, full of love, laughter, and a little silliness! I loved getting to know them better during their beautiful engagement session at the lake.

Jeremy and Braunte met through a mutual friend at Utah State and then they realized that they had a class together – big band swing. They soon became best friends and after a little while, Jeremy started walking Braunte home every Tuesday and Thursday after class. They saw each other over Christmas break and the rest is history!

Ryan and Aubrey winter engagements

Rachel Nielsen — Sat, 19 Jan 2019 01:48:19 +0000

Ryan and Aubrey knew each other in high school but my favorite part of their story is how they fell in love writing letters to each other while they were each serving a LDS mission. They have over 50 love letters between them! Aubrey told me that she loves how thoughtful Ryan is and that he always makes her laugh no matter what kind of day she has had. Ryan loves how comfortable Aubrey is to be around and adores how her nose crinkles when she smiles. It was so easy to see how much they love each other during their engagement session and I loved getting to know them better!

We met for a sunrise session and even though I am not a morning person, getting up early for a shoot is always worth it. The light is always so gorgeous!!

Rachel Nielsen — Tue, 23 Oct 2018 04:16:23 +0000

Ben and Cher flew all the way from Hawaii for their engagement session. They came into town to see the lantern festival (which was sadly rescheduled because of the wind) but I can’t even tell you how much I love their engagement session. This is a tiny sneak peek of their session. I have so many posts to catch up on – so check back for their full session!

Ryan and Aubrey engagements sneak peek | SLC

Rachel Nielsen — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 12:43:17 +0000

Things have been a little crazy around here and I haven’t posted as much as usual due to spending most of my days in the hospital with my dad (which I am so grateful to be able to do!). But even with everything that is going on, I still get to work with such amazing couples just like Aubrey and Ryan! I cannot wait to share their sweet story in a full post because they fell in love writing letters to each other. They met me early last Saturday morning – right before the sun came up and I am soooo happy with how these turned out! I have so many favorites, I had a hard time choosing, so these are only a very few!

Brody and Sydnie engagements – Albion Basin

Rachel Nielsen — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 01:12:03 +0000

Brody and Sydnie were one of my favorite couples in 2017 and I met them for the first time at their engagement session at Albion Basin. I knew almost immediately how fun they were going to be to work with. We spent a lot of time laughing while getting to know each other and I loved working with them! The skies turned dark just after we started, but they were both so amazing and we finished up just as the rain came rolling in! I love what we got that night! <3

Jake and Giselle – Salt Flats Engagements

Rachel Nielsen — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 00:02:10 +0000

It isn’t often that the Salt Flats are dry in December! I was really excited that when we were discussing locations, Jake and Giselle chose to have their engagement session there because it is always so gorgeous!!

Jake and Giselle are high school sweethearts and started dating their senior year in high school. When Jake returned from his LDS mission (in Texas), Giselle said it took only about 12 hours for him to kiss her again! It was so easy to see how much they loved each other and enjoy being together. They are my very favorite type of client – so fun – and had no problem being playful, laughing, and just being themselves during our session! They braved the cold for these shots and I definitely think it was worth it! <3
