Tamara & Chris's Wedding

It was such a beautiful wedding at the Wight House in Bountiful, UT. Tamara and Chris were married March 7, 2009. She had breathtaking stargazer lilies decorating the reception center. It was a small, but intimate event and such a special occasion in their lives. I was honored to be a part of their wedding day! There were so many fun, candid moments, so that's what I've mainly decided to share with you!




Right before the ceremony in the dressing room--she's glowing!

Isn't he handsome? This is Tami's son.





Look how gorgeous she is! She is Tami's daughter.



Cute little grandma. : )

I was drooling over this luscious butter; I thought it was ice cream!

Leilani's Wedding

Leilani has such beautiful skin and nice full lips. Her wedding was 2 weeks ago at Magnolia Grove reception center. I included my favorite bridal photo. Enjoy!


I love this shot with her reflection.





This is her grandmother's gold bracelet. How sweet is that?

Her grandma embraced her and whispered advice--I had to capture this!









Such a fun cake! I laughed out loud at the topper!

Finally Live!!!

The much awaited, highly anticipated, joyous day is here!!! After a mere 1 1/2 years (not weeks or months--but years!) in the making my website has finally launched and gone live! A touch of procrastination may have fallen over me the past year, but I was bit by the bug the past 3 weeks and finally finished. I'm excited about the new look of my website and flash features. Keep in mind the old site had pretty much stayed the same the past 5 years; it was practically a dinosaur! Go to www.daynaphotography.com and post your feedback on here!

Thank you, Shane, for the countless hours spent helping on the technical end. Not to mention the hundreds of e-mails, phone calls and humoring a fickle female like myself! It looks awesome! I am pleased to share the debut of Dayna Carroll Photography with everyone! Look out Houston, here we come!!!

Vote for Me!

Well it has been nearly 5 months since my first blog. Probably not the best start for my new photo blog site. Hey, I am a work in progress! : )

With being newly married, traveling, fixing up our home in Utah, selling our home, cars and everything but the kitchen sink, buying a new home, packing and preparing to move to Texas, I have had a few things on my plate! I have been living in my parent's basement since the first of February since our home sold in 10 days! 3 1/2 more weeks until we move to Houston! I had a couple weddings and photo shoots this month which I will post images from soon--stay tuned!

I miss my double monitor set-up, but have a nice makeshift workspace in the basement. There is finally free time for me to work on my website! It has been my little project the past 3 weeks. I have been accused of being a groundhog--only to pop out of my hole for food and water--nobody has seen my shadow! While I am at it, I decided it was time for a new logo design. Here are the final two contenders--place your votes now!
