Salt Lake City » Noelle Reynolds Photography

There is an expected reverence when you’re at the Temple, Church or something of that sort but never did I realize a reverence in a relationship till Ammon and Kate came out of those glass doors. We didn’t have to hear shouts of excitement to know how happy they were. It was the small but constant touch, their beaming smiles, and their radiant spirits that shouted silently, the joy they were feeling. As I took Kate aside to photograph her alone, Ammon sat watching, impatient to get close to his bride again.

“Do you want to get up there with her?” I asked Ammon.

“YES, thank you!” He answered as if I let him breath again.

As he jumped up by Kate a calm came over Ammon again and he was able to take a full breath. I think I almost killed him by separating them for a few minutes. :)

Ammon and Kate you are a beautiful couple that I was so privileged to photograph and witness the love you have for one another!

The most memorable part of the day was just sitting in the temple with Ammon before we were sealed. I just felt so warm and peaceful. I knew I was making the best decision ever.
