Joyce Wedding Oct 2009 (Heritage Gardens)

November 3rd, 2009

Well I have known the Rawson family for a few years now. And thank goodness I now know the Joyce’s. Taylor and Katelyn made me laugh the whole time. So many firsts for me at this wedding. First I must give my Kudos to Katelyn. She impressed me the entire time since we started talking wedding photography. We went to Park City for the engagements and they ended up being some of our favorite pictures ever. Then we went downtown for the bridals. Which turned out amazing! They were extremely comfortable in front of the camera which made my job easy. Then to make everything better. Katelyn showed up literally 20 minutes before the ceremony and STILL was ready early! WOW! I was thoroughly impressed!

I can honestly say they never stopped smiling the entire night. Trust me I asked for serious faces and all I got was laughter.

Shout out to Chelsea for being my assistant on this next one. (She held the flash)

And then the siblings decided to have a flower war! The fought it out to the death. And Chelsea came out the victor.

Then lucky enough for Katelyn the boy had a little “My Girl” dance planned.

I just want you to note the girl in the group fighting for the front row… and looks like she’s about to yell at everyone (Haha You know who you are!)

I told you that this wedding was more fun then you can handle! This was the beginning of the dance-off!

Oborn Wedding / La Caille October 2009

November 3rd, 2009

Ok one thing I am starting to not like about weddings… is having to narrow them down for the blog. I mean I narrowed it down to 18 photos… and I can’t get it any less. So sorry if you are getting a BLOG-orama of photos. But you should have been there because it was so much fun! The day started off beautiful. The ceremony got a hint of sun and it was on the patio at La Caille.

Everything was perfect from the sunny day to the location. The flowers and Melissa’s dress was amazing!

And if we didn’t already have enough amazing pictures we took a little time with just them. And got a few more pictures just around the grounds of La Caille.

Cake Toppers! Talk about the coolest cake topper EVER!

Then Melissa and Craig surpised us all when the whole family got up to dance.

Then Melissa’s brother yes…. did KARAOKE to Vanilla Ice. “Ice Ice Baby” (Yes I sang all of the words with him) Don’t worry Jim it was when I was in Elementary School! LOL

Thank you Melissa and Craig and you’re whole family. Thank you so much for letting us be there to enjoy your Love Story.

Kubal Wedding 2009

September 7th, 2009

The Kubal/Hobson wedding embodied all the qualities of the “perfect back-yard wedding”. I had so much fun shooting Jessie and Kyle. After coming out of the temple they seemed a little shy but by the end of the night there were dancin like it was 1999! (And there wasn’t any alcohol involved…) We loved the back yard where their reception took place. We ended up getting some great shots. Here are a few of our favorites. Take a peek!

Trent & Alisha Maternity Pics

August 25th, 2009

I’ve know them forever now… and we’ve taken pictures of family, weddings, teams, anything and everything.  AND now belly pictures. Alisha didnt want the typical lift up the shirt and show the belly shots. She wanted something a little more comfortable and relaxed… I love how they turned out.STAGGS

Peet/Christensen Wedding August 22, 2009

August 25th, 2009

This weekend we shot the Peet/Christensen wedding… and just like my sister, Ashley also proceeded to raz me for my lack of pictures on my blog. I promised her I would post some on here just to prove her wrong! So take that Ashley! :)    We had so much fun… and what can we say… the day was an… adventure! We had so much fun from Manti to Provo. Nathan Pickett shot the video for the wedding and if you havent seen his wedding videos you should. http://www.nathanpickettfilms.com very easy to work with. And we like him a lot (even tho he shoots canon.)

Fun Times August 2009

August 23rd, 2009

I havent posted anything recently… I just thought i needed to atleast put something on here. I am the worst blogger ever. My sister Lissa reminds me of this when I see her. If you noticed we changed the layout of the blog. (That was because Lissa told me it was confusing and hard to read. Well if you dont like it you can blame her.)

Recently Erin (she does marketing for Faces) came in with her son and two nephews to do a picture of the three together for the grandparents. Well I have one picture that describes the whole thing!

Ha! Actually we got a lot of good pictures this was just at the end. Thanks Erin.

Loved You First Collection

July 5th, 2009

lovedyourfirstlogowhiteweb

I am so extremely excited to announced something new we are offering at Chad Braithwaite Faces Photography.  I would like to thank Erin for giving me the idea and everyone else here for helping me make it possible.  We call it the Loved You First collection. For those of you who have heard or participate in the baby club, we have restructured and improved everything to do with it. Loved You First Collection is the Prequel to the Baby Club.  For those of you expecting children we designed this collection for you. We want to make those first moments last. We wanted to make it so dad didn’t have to hold the camera, video camera and mom’s hand all at the same time. We wanted you to focus on what’s important. We are there to allow you to enjoy these first moments. To fall in love “first” and never forget… It includes a maternity photoshoot where mom and dad can come and spend that close moment to cherish life and show how truly beautiful this gift of life can be.  Along with the maternity shoot includes a free sitting fee and 8×10. But more importantly, we are there at the hospital with you for that special day. We take photos of the family in the waiting room, of dad nervously waiting for the moment and those first breaths of life of the newly arrived. The nurses then rush the baby off to weigh in, measure and dress the baby. We are there to capture every special moment so you dont have to worry. And you can “enjoy” what is most important. We put everything together in a special DVD that you can watch over and over. We have already done some and I would like to share with you how touching this moment can be. Thank you Amber and Cindy for letting me share these with everyone and post them for all to see.

Thank you again I hope you enjoy it.

NEW WEBSITE!

June 23rd, 2009

Well finally… I FINALLY did it. I got the new website up and going… hmmm lets see how long that took me. I put the old website up when (ahem… BEFORE) we opened the Draper Studio. So that would be 3 years ago. Yikes… I was always hesitant to show people the website before. I actually like it now.  (Dont worry I have already started on the new design of the newer bigger better website… however you have 3 years before I get around to it so get used to this one HA!) The nice thing about this one is its very dynamic, meaning we can update the photos often and switch it out for newer and more fun pictures when we get sick of the other ones.  I would be happy to hear any advice ideas or just happy comments about the website. So feel free to drop me a line or leave a comment. I know there are a few things still undone. The specials section and the about me is very… non informative I know this already. Im working on it still. I promise I’ll get it done soon :)

Well anyway check it out! Great new stuff happening. Stay posted. I will be “blogging” a lot more frequent from here on out!
