Jenny and Josh Wedding

2011-09-29T15:38:00.000-07:00

Goodness me I've been slacking lately! This poor blog was out of commission and I didn't even know it. Well we're back in business now folks and more excited than ever. We're working on a BRAND NEW website and it's going to knock your socks off. And then put them back on for you, because that's just how we roll.

In the meantime, here's a look at a lovely wedding I shot back in August. This couple was so happy and it was a pleasure to spend the morning with them and their families.

Justin

2011-05-31T14:43:00.000-07:00

Justin was a sport taking his senior portraits. He knew he had to make himself laugh in order to get a real smile. This is something I usually have to tell clients, but he's such a natural in front of the camera ;)

Tyler & Katie

2011-05-19T12:45:00.001-07:00

This cute couple was a blast to photograph and we had some of the greatest lighting to work with on the lake.

Congratulations guys! Beautiful day for a beautiful couple.

Laura

2011-05-10T12:08:00.000-07:00

We did Laura's senior portraits while she was visiting Utah in April. Unfortunately for her, Utah didn't get the memo that it's spring and it snowed while we were out! But she is still beautiful and so much fun! Congrats Bean!

Baby Sadie

2011-04-06T14:33:00.001-07:00

This sweet little girl could not be any more beautiful if she tried.

Blessed

2011-01-27T12:40:00.000-08:00

Sneak peek at our little girl's blessing dress! Thanks to Grandma Beverly for making it for her, we will cherish it forever.

Garrett and Amy Beth

2010-11-15T11:47:00.001-08:00

These two were so much fun to photograph. They put up with the wintery weather so well and we still got to utilize some of the beautiful Fall colors that stuck around an extra week for us!

Congrats you two!

Cody

2010-09-14T11:43:00.000-07:00

This handsome senior is my brother-in-law, Cody. Man I married into a good lookin' family!

Baby Bridget

2010-08-16T14:32:00.000-07:00

Congratulations Leslie, Peter and Harrison! She is beautiful and already such a great addition to the family. Here's a sneak peek of the sweet girl:

"Brick Lula"

2010-07-20T22:15:00.000-07:00

as her big brother has named her. Hopefully her parents come up with something a little girlier before she graces us with her presence! Which is a matter of weeks now...crazy! Here are some maternity shots of the beautiful Leslie (who told me she wasn't photogenic...right...) to enjoy!

Congratulations guys, can't wait to meet her!

Bridals and Groomals

2010-07-01T20:56:00.000-07:00

Can't wait for this wedding next week...should be good times! Congrats guys!

I love this last picture oh-so-much. Megan is good at laughing, and looks good doing it too ;)

Baby Symoni

2010-06-28T16:01:00.000-07:00

Sweet new baby girl. Thanks for having me out to photograph her, Nicole. You sure make darling babies!

June in Utah

2010-06-18T13:54:00.001-07:00

Can you believe the June we've had? It seems like anytime we're in the car going somewhere my husband comments on how much the mountains look like Ireland. I wouldn't go THAT far, but it is gorgeous here right now. You'd never think we were in the middle of the desert that way we've had rain and snow here the last few weeks, but I'm not complaining! I think I quite like Utah in the Spring!

Harrison

2010-06-01T16:57:00.001-07:00

Harrison, at age 3 is....

completely darling,

super sweet,

totally hilarious,

very inquisitive,

Daddy's boy,

and his aunt Kate sure loves him!

Megan and Boone

2010-05-07T11:39:00.000-07:00

These two were great fun to photograph and clearly have fun together! Here are some of my faves for you to enjoy!

I just keep waiting for the weather to be warm on a day that I shoot! Maybe it's time to move to Florida :)

Maria and Colby

2010-04-29T08:37:00.000-07:00

Besides the fact that this shoot was so cold I couldn't feel my hands until I pulled into my driveway, it was so fun! These two were laughing the whole time, it was great! They were troopers in the cold, windy weather and made my job a lot easier by just being so darling together. I had a hard time choosing some to upload, I want to put them all up!

Congrats you guys! Hopefully San Diego in June will be lovely weather for you :)

Holly and Michael

2010-04-26T10:44:00.000-07:00

Saturday Holly and Michael were sealed for time and eternity in the Draper Utah Temple. It was a gorgeous day and everyone was so excited. Eternal families are the best!

Congrats you two, I am so happy for you!

Baby "K"

2010-04-18T20:46:00.001-07:00

So cute. 'Nuf said!

Vanessa and Josh

2010-04-08T13:45:00.000-07:00

These two are amazing together. I have known Vanessa for a few years and I love her to death. Josh is a lucky guy! Poor Vanessa and Josh had to have their engagements taken twice. She called me in a panic this week and asked if I could help them out since their first run didn't go so well. So this is our last minute session and it was FREEZING but they were both troopers :)

Love you guys!

Brittany's Bridals

2010-03-31T14:34:00.000-07:00

The beautiful Brittany Gilson. Thank you dear friend for letting me take these!

Laura and Andrew Engagements

2010-03-09T19:20:00.000-08:00

These are from a few weekends ago, but they're darn cute so I wanted to put some up! Laura and Andrew were great and I loved Laura's choice of wardrobe :) Thanks guys, and congrats again!

Grandma Beard

2010-03-02T15:30:00.000-08:00

My cousin asked if I would photograph her grandmother, a wonderfully charming woman with spunk and a british accent :) What's not to love? Her laugh is contagious and she holds her family dear to her heart. She just celebrated her 89th birthday in February and to commemorate I was able to record a few moments with her and some of her family this past weekend. Thank you Beard family! I love you guys!

Yvette and Jordan

2010-02-23T10:27:00.000-08:00

I got the chance to photograph this adorable couple this past weekend up in Logan. It was a pretty chilly day and they were troopers!! We only stopped because the sun went down and noses started turning red :) Enjoy!

The New Guestbook?

2010-02-09T21:02:00.000-08:00

My MacGeek of a brother sent me this link. I think it's a pretty fun idea, but I don't know if my grandmother would have been able to figure it out :) Seems like a cute idea to have these videos, and you sure can say a lot more than just "Congrats!"

What did you use for your wedding sign in/guestbook? Anything different or fun that you loved? Leave a comment and share!

Kaitlynn's "Senior Portraits"

2010-01-31T19:19:00.000-08:00

My awesome sister-in-law came down this weekend and we went out on Saturday to take some pictures. She's graduating in April from USU and we decided to have fun!!! She was the perfect model. It was a pretty nice day, but got colder the longer we were out but we had a blast and laughed a ton! Love ya sis! Here's a few of my favorites!

Hello Seattle!

2010-01-29T11:07:00.001-08:00

If you haven't seen her site, I would highly recommend Rachel Thurston Photography. She is doing the best giveaway right now and if you get in on it, you might get to go to Seattle! I know I would love to go back to this pier!

WEBSITE!

2010-01-14T10:22:00.001-08:00

Alrighty folks, the new website is up and running! Tell your friends AND your enemies, Kate Weaver Photo doesn't judge :)

Dear Childhood,

2010-01-07T21:04:00.000-08:00

This is a series I worked on last year for a little bit. These are my grandmother's toys that my Dad and his siblings played with, my siblings and I played with, and now the great-grandkids are playing with! Whew! What an awesome legacy for these toys. This was such a fun project for me to work on, not to mention all the time I got to spend with my Grandma Wride! Hopefully they remind you of some of the fun toys you had when you were a tot :)

2010

2010-01-06T20:11:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the New Year! Sorry I've been a little MIA, it's been a crazy holiday season! Hope everyone had a great New Years and got to be with loved ones. We were in Washington DC for Christmas and then in Park City to ring in the New Year, so it was a crazy few weeks for us, but now we're back home in Provo, and with me being graduated and all :) it's been kind of nice to relax for a few days. Unfortunately there's no relaxing for Brock and in hopes of inspiring him to have the strength to get through another semester, here's my two favorite pictures from home. My husband and my oldest nephew, what studs!

Winter Wonderland

2009-12-09T22:33:00.000-08:00

It is currently 3 degrees here in Provo, and that's about 70 degrees too cold for me :) As much as I love December, and Christmas and snow and all that wintery stuff, I cannot stand being cold. And it's cold; like icicles-form-in-your-nostrils-as-you-walk-to-school cold. All I can say is that it's a good thing there is snow, because cold is pointless without snow.

Seattle Forest

2009-12-03T15:09:00.000-08:00

On a walk in the forest in Issaquah, Washington last week. Makes me want to move there so bad! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday!

Snap Dragons

2009-11-06T12:05:00.000-08:00

These little beauties are still fighting the winter weather outside my door :)

Harrison

2009-11-02T15:34:00.000-08:00

I took this picture of my nephew a year ago. He is hilarious and getting so old all the time, I'm so glad he lives somewhat nearby so I can see him from time to time! I love being an aunt!

Huff Family

2009-10-18T13:58:00.000-07:00

Fall Family pictures! The weather was really perfect on Thursday which was great because it had stormed all week, but for the Huff family to get their pictures taken the clouds dispersed. Such a fun family and cute little girls! Thanks for letting me take these!

Here's a sneak peek!

I made a pie!

2009-10-15T17:00:00.001-07:00

I feel so domestic :)

Provo Bakery

2009-09-25T15:14:00.000-07:00

There are few things that can get me out of bed at 6:30 am and one of them is a great photo opportunity. The other happens to be donuts! I spent an hour at the Provo Bakery this morning documenting this group of dedicated individuals who were already hours into their day by the time I arrived. I love pastries as much as the next person but it takes a lot of...something...to get up at 2 am to frost donuts and bake cookies for the next 15 hours! The bakers at Provo Bakery are clearly very talented and also have a lot of fun together. It might be that they are all so tired they have to laugh not to go crazy, but whatever the reason, I had a blast and smelled like donuts the rest of the morning (not complaining!) Here's a little glimpse into the kitchen!

Look at all that extra icing! That's my kind of kitchen!

Baby Joshua

2009-09-24T21:00:00.000-07:00

I can honestly say that I haven't laughed so hard during a photo shoot as I did today with the Huffs. Little Joshua is just so sweet and cute and boy did he makes some memorable messes! Sorry Huffs about your chair, and couch, and new carpet, and your t-shirts! The pictures turned out well though! :) Take a gander at this tender little boy:

Baby Rachel

2009-09-17T17:02:00.000-07:00

Did some pictures for the Lunds today, and Rachel was so funny! When I got there she was fast asleep but the moment Laura put her down so I could start photographing, she was wide awake and very aware that she was no longer in her mother's arms! It took a little persuading but she eventually turned out some very lovely looks (although her best smiles came after a diaper change!)

Did I mention she has the prettiest blue eyes??? Thank you Jesse and Laura for letting me take these, it was fun and she is such a doll!!!

Los Hermanos

2009-09-08T12:20:00.000-07:00

Did some work for a local restaurant, Los Hermanos, located on Center Street in Provo. Seems like a great place to eat, had lots of different dining areas and fun music. The garden room was really pretty, it offers of view of Center and University and is covered in vegetation and has a running fountain in the middle.

I was kind of hoping they would package some of this food up and send it home with me, but my hopes were in vain. Looks delish though!

Sitting

2009-09-04T15:47:00.000-07:00

Plant sitting this weekend makes me want plants for our place.

Deer Valley

2009-08-29T17:39:00.000-07:00

Went hiking in Deer Valley this past week and boy was it fun! Got some good nature shots which I don't usually get a lot of (because, as we say in my family, "I HATE NATURE" hahaha...just kidding!). I wasn't really raised to be "outdoor-sy" but I'm trying to make up for it. LOVE NATURE and loved this beautiful old stump I found hiking one chilly morning!

New Business Cards!

2009-08-23T17:00:00.000-07:00

Mmm...

2009-08-12T15:52:00.000-07:00

More food from the last two receptions I did for Magleby's. They were on the same night and I was running up and down the stairs from wedding reception to wedding reception! It was crazy but so fun! They do a really great job with their displays and their food is always so colorful, it just LOOKS delicious. I really loved the cakes too, very classy and I think very telling of the rest of the decor and receptions. Enjoy!

I am not a fan of hamburgers, but aren't those the cutest things ever?!?!?! And such festive cheeses :) Ok, I'm done gushing about food right now. Till next time!

Magleby's

2009-08-07T14:42:00.001-07:00

I took some pictures last Saturday for Magleby's Catering. I got to go to the wedding reception and it was absolutely fantastic! It was held at the Sleepy Ridge Golf Club in Orem (fancy!) and the entertainment was phenomenal! It was really pretty and the food all looked amazing (the "cake" is my favorite)! Here's a peek:

Paella

2009-07-28T11:11:00.000-07:00

To jump start my food photography, here's a picture I took last summer working for Mariachi. Paella and wine. To the Spanish, there is no better meal. Except maybe some jamón serrano or a nice tortilla de patatas. Which sounds really delicious right now so maybe I'll go whip one up :)

Back to Blog!

2009-07-23T14:54:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been forever (or so it seems) since we've had internet access so I'm just getting around to updating some things and it seemed like the perfect time to return to my blog! Hopefully I'll be doing some more freelance stuff this summer (I'm helping out Magleby's catering now!) and uploading those for you but for the time being, here's a fun picture that I took in St. Thomas this June!

2009-04-13T14:54:00.000-07:00

Brock and I get to go home to DC in less than two weeks! We are very excited, it's gonna be good times. Maybe we'll get to say hi to Abe again; last time we were there it was his 200th birthday...hence the flowered wreaths.

Great

2009-04-06T19:01:00.000-07:00

This past weekend a bunch of friends went up to Park City and it was great. Great food, great music, great games, great sleep and great friends. Life is pretty great! Now if only finals were over.....:)

Kalisha

2009-03-31T22:45:00.000-07:00

The beautiful Kalisha Jacobson. A good friend from my freshman year, an avid art appreciator (she works at the Springville Art Museum) and just an all around wonderful person. Thanks for letting me shoot these doll!

Plus

2009-03-30T09:39:00.000-07:00

Brock and his advertising team are working on a campaign for a little-known Coca-Cola product, Dasani Plus. On Saturday we spent the day in the studio shooting for the media part of their advertising, since Coca-Cola has done nothing to promote this product. It took us forever to even find the drink to take pictures of it! Finally a girl in his group found three measly bottles on campus and we were able to work with that, thank goodness. They have some really great ideas for text and slogans and things so I'm pretty sure they're gonna rock this assignment, and I was glad to help out! Here's a sneak peek (un-touched up)!

Dancing

2009-03-25T13:46:00.000-07:00

A diptych I did for my still-life class last semester. It still makes me laugh. I had so much fun alone in the studio playing dress-up with these pears. I am still a child at heart in so many ways :)

Cedar Breaks - August 2007

2009-03-23T20:34:00.000-07:00

I want the sun to come out again, I got so used to its warmth. Hurry up Spring!!!

Flora

2009-03-19T13:11:00.000-07:00

I was sitting at home today and realized we have a lot of plants in my apartment. I love it. Brock was saying last night that he enjoys studying and hanging out in my apartment more than his own because there's a different "ambiance" and I think it's that my roommates and I have really tried to make our apartment a place that we all enjoy and are comfortable in! Part of this is having plants around and it makes me so happy! Plus, I've heard that you're supposed to have live plants in an area where you spend a lot of time because they use the carbon dioxide you give off to make more oxygen and thus, more oxygen in the bloodstream, which equals happy, healthier human beings! Yay plants!

Lexi

2009-03-18T13:02:00.000-07:00

Lexi Pugmire. What a hoot. I did an assignment on Childhood a few semesters ago and Nicole was nice enough to let me photograph her kids one day. This is one of my favorite shots of the day!

2009-03-12T21:54:00.000-07:00

Kate Wride Photography, soon to become Kate Weaver Photography (hence the KW...yay for not having to change my initials!!!) I'll be uploading some of my work to create more of a name for myself since I'll be here in the Utah Valley for some time...thanks Brock :) Stay tuned for photographic genius. For now, here's one of my favorite's of me and my soon-to-be hubby.
