Tag: LDS Gilbert Temple Weddings

The Gilbert Temple is such a beautiful place for photos.  The Temple has been operating now for about three months.  I would imagine hundreds of weddings have taken place there at this point.  I have shot at close to 20 weddings there now.  There are so many great spots around the grounds for photos.  I do wish the Temple grounds were open on Monday like the Mesa Temple is.  It would be nice to be there with a bride and groom on the grounds shooting photos and videos when we could have the place to ourselves.

Kalee and Austin will be married at the Gilbert AZ Temple in about two weeks.  I had a fun time working with my friend Cami on this shoot.  I love the first look shot of Austin and Kalee right before he turns around and sees her in her wedding dress for the first time.  After some photos and video at the Temple we went to a location in San Tan Valley with really tall corn (ok it was too tall) and some open fields with much smaller cotton.

The weather is holding out still with fantastic temperatures and beautiful sunsets.  It was a perfect evening to get together with Katie and Timo at the Gilbert Temple for wedding photos and video.  Katie and Timo laughed so much together during the bridals that it made it so easy to capture wonderful candid shots.  It is obvious they love being together.  I just love Temple weddings.

I love the colors that Katie chose.  Her flowers were beautiful.  Walked around the Temple for some great shots of the two of them and then out to the field for a wonderful sunset shot with the Gilbert Temple in the background.

Another beautiful day at the Gilbert AZ Temple.  I met up with America and Bo this afternoon at the Temple for their wedding photos.  They were looking so nice.  Seriously they could have been models.  Only one other bride and groom at the Temple taking pictures at the same time so it made for a really easy photo shoot.  The other photographer was really nice and we just worked around each other for the good spots.  That is one thing that is different from the Mesa Temple.  The grounds at the Mesa Temple are huge in comparison to the Gilbert Temple so there are plenty of places for photographers to work around each other.  At the Gilbert Temple there are tons of great spots but not as many places to sneak off to for shots if it starts to get crowded.

We started out near the water feature and worked around to the front and then North side before heading out to the field on East.  I took some really great pictures out in the green.  America wanted to go barefoot in the field so Bo carried her out into the middle.  What a great day for wedding photos at the Gilbert Temple.
