Ava and Bentley’s November wedding in Utah was a dream from start to finish. Every detail reflected Ava’s vision: pink, girly, whimsical, and timeless and the day was filled with love, laughter, and a few happy tears.
They were married at the beautiful Provo City Center Temple and later celebrated with family and friends at the charming White Shanty.
Polka Dots, Pink, and Perfect Details
Ava’s wedding day vision was executed perfectly:
• Bridesmaids wore adorable polka dot dresses
• Flower baskets with ribbons added the cutest touch
• Ava’s gloves paired beautifully with her gown
• The entire color palette was pink and feminine, creating a cohesive, joyful vibe
These small, intentional details made the day feel uniquely Ava — playful, elegant, and full of personality.
A Ceremony Full of Emotion
The Provo City Center Temple offered the perfect backdrop for their sealing. November light gave the temple a soft glow, making every moment feel intimate and sacred. Capturing Ava’s family and Bentley’s reactions was a highlight: from happy tears to quiet, emotional moments, these are the memories that last forever.
Nighttime Celebration at the White Shanty
By the time the reception started at the White Shanty, the sky was dark, but the energy was bright. Guests danced, laughed, and celebrated Ava and Bentley into the night.
Some of my favorite moments:
• Tears shed by Ava’s mom and sisters
• Spontaneous, energetic dancing that filled the room
• The contrast of a cozy, intimate space with high-energy celebration
A wedding like this proves that even with darker evening light, great photography and emotion shine through.
