Sweet Disposition

I'm so proud of this video, even though it did take me too long.

I love making wedding videos. I feel like I really get to know the couple as I look over hours of footage.
Their mannerisms and behavior are so fun to watch.

I've already said this, but Jerry and Carly are such a sincere couple.
I'm glad I could get to know them and we wish them all the best.

Jerry and Carly

This couple creates so many sweet moments together.

Both Jerry and Carly are such sincere people.
Their true feelings for each other come across very clearly
in this video- which is quickly becoming one of my favorites ever.

When the Stars Go Blue

Holly and Eric are so perfect for each other. They are both so funny and intelligent and compliment each others' personalities.
They've made and kept some great friends over the years who were happy to come and support them.

Holly and Eric

I can't say enough about how well this couple's wedding went. The location at Rose Sach's Gardens in Park City, Utah was so beautiful and interesting. The ceremony, music, food, company, and set up was so very classy. I loved being there with Holly and Eric's family and friends.

I'm so glad that I could make this video for them.

Sikh and Ye Shall Find

Dumb title? Maybe. But this very cute couple had a lovely Sikh wedding that I was fortunate enough to film.



Everyone was so nice, the food was amazing, and the whole day was a blast. I hope that Jay and Prianka's sweet feelings for each other come out in this video.

A Thing Called Thing Love

Heather and Todd were married in Post Falls, Idaho this summer. Heather has been friends with my wife Catie since Junior High. It was so nice to go up there and see them get married.

Their video is different from anything I've done before. I wanted to try and fit an entire wedding video into one song.

In the middle of the ceremony, their friend (and newly appointed minister) pulled out a stone from his pocket. He said, "I picked up this rock from Heather and Todd's new house. It symbolizes their love together." Then he held it up in the air and said, "You're love rocks. Rock on Heather and Todd, rock on..."

Le Recepcion

Casandra and Jake's reception took place at Le Jardin in Salt Lake City. If you haven't been there, it is this absolutely stunning greenhouse with places to explore, intricate flower arrangements, and perfect lighting all over.

I can't decide if the little girls act like fairies because they have wings on, or just by having wings on, their natural behavior makes more sense.

Lana and Spencer's Engagements

I'm so happy this couple found us online. They are way fun to be with and they're planning a beautiful wedding.

This is the first of their videos. It is of their engagement photo shoot at Salt Lake's International Peace Gardens.

the fanciful life of a fairy

when a princess
marries her prince
little fairies
join for
feasting and
merriment.
























this is
what
little
fairies drink
















this is
what little
fairies eat
















little fairies
have little wings...























...that carry them
down magical pathways
























little fairies
sit to rest
























little fairies
love flowers

















little fairies
are tiny and sweet























and they always
live happily ever after.

Liz and Zach

I was so happy to film Liz and Zach's wedding day. They are a very cute couple and both so fun to be with. Their wedding took place on a beautiful day at the Salt Lake Temple.



Liz is such a funny girl and I love her facial expressions. My favorite part was when she was showing me her shoes. Zach is also a funny guy with a magnetic personality. All of his friends stayed huddled around him throughout the day.

Thanks for letting me take part in your wedding. We wish you the best!

Wow!

Cassandra's dress is so beautiful- and she looked great in it. I hope you enjoy her bridal video.

I have loved working with Cassandra because of her unique style, but also because she keeps a laid-back attitude about things.

I also have to tell you about Melissa Kelsey Photography. Melissa is such a dedicated and talented photographer that was really nice to shoot with. She is such a hard worker, she's full of unique ideas, and she's a location genius. Check out her website or blog

Our New Site

Did you see our new look? - montaukmotionpictures.com

It is so minimalistic that it might not look like much, but I have been working on this site for a long time now. Hopefully you find it simple and easy to use. We'd love to hear any suggestions for improving it.

The Whole Shindig

Our clients commonly ask to see an entire wedding video, so we've posted one for you.
The following video is from the wedding of Brandon and Megan Evans. This shows coverage of each event that they wanted us to film- the temple exit along with their reception.

Again, we really liked making this video for Brandon and Megan. I think my favorite part is the scene near the end under the deep red trees at the temple.
- Dave

my favorite part is
when megan "blessed"
her bouquet before
tossing it to all the
single ladies...
megan, you kept
everyone laughing
hysterically throughout
the whole day.

You and Me

My wife and I grew up as friends with Brandon Evans so we were very happy to do his wedding video. Brandon is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, and his wife Megan is literally the most spunky bride we have worked with. With that said, we had an absolute blast at their wedding and hopefully it shows in their video.

Congratulations you two!

The Red Balloon

We've been excited to do Cassandra and Jakes wedding. They are particular about their style of video and we love that. Cassandra has some really creative ideas- like this one for their engagement photo shoot.
Cassandra said she got the idea from that old movie we all saw in elementary school. She's such a clever girl and she's got a lot of cute ideas for every aspect of her wedding.


Jake told us, "I like your videos because you focus on the couple and their personalities." That came as a major compliment to us. We hope to show off Cassandra and Jake's unique personalities in this and all of their upcoming videos.

We're excited about all the new weddings we have booked for this season. We hope to produce the best work we've ever done.

Scotty's Castle


We went to Death Valley for a geography field studies class at Weber State University. These photos are of Scotty's Castle--a Spanish Hacienda in the desert. This winter home is host to many mysterious tales of the American west
