I have decided to build my LDS temple portfolio to try to sell to local galleries. I have three scanned and edited so far, with more waiting in the wings.
“Partake of the Tree”
Mt. Timpanogos Temple
Jenn and I went together to take this picture on one of our dates. Just when I was about to take the picture, a woman parked right in front of the temple (in my shot), and rushed inside. We had to wait ten minutes for her to return to her car before I could get the shot. The light was magical when I was ready to take it. It faded a bit, but I think I was still able to capture what I wanted.
“Cloud of Fire”
Provo Temple
Jenn has been begging me to get a shot of the Provo Temple (where we were married), since the one we have on our wall (that we bought years ago) isn’t very good.
“Ascend”
Salt Lake Temple
My sister-in-law asked me to take a picture for her of the Salt Lake Temple (where she was married) that was different from other temple pictures. The only day I could go up there just happened to be a day when 50 people were getting married. I had a hard time finding the shot I wanted because people were in every shot. I eventually found this area of the temple that did not have as many visitors. I really liked the lines and the simplicity–the stairs leading into the temple, with just the lip of the doorway showing, and the symbolism of the three windows going up.

Those are some great pictures. I’d like to see on of the Bountiful Temple and the San Diego Temple.
