Cedar City portrait and wedding photographer.

Welcome to my blog!

I love photography! Pretty cliché I know. There is just so much to learn and explore. So many things to try. But the main reason I love photography is this "Photography is about savoring life at 1/100th of a second." - Marc Riboud

I am a portrait and wedding photographer in Cedar City Utah. I also love landscape photography, but every great landscape I encounter, I can't help but think how much better the shot would be if I stuck a person in it.

Malori

Thursday, September 16th, 2010 by Parker Grimes Cedar City Photographer |

You want to know the secret about old abandoned buildings? It is not the rustic, raw, gritty nature of them. Placing something beautiful, a person for instance, in something falling apart creates a very interesting dynamic. However, the real secret ...
