Temples

Since I got such a great response on the last post from Temple Square, I thought I might pull out my favorite temple pictures I have taken. I have to say that I am very excited to post these too, because it is one of my FAVORITE subjects! A few people had asked a couple questions about them, so I thought I'd try to answer them to the best of my ability.

There are temples all over the world and they are only open on the inside to members that have been interviewed and found worthy to enter. Temples are places on earth where God can reside and the church takes the things they do inside very seriously, so they want to make sure the people entering take them seriously as well. Most temples have some sort of visitor's center that non-members can visit. The one in Salt Lake City is great and really big since it is the main church headquarters. There is also a really nice one near my home in Mesa, Arizona. You can visit the temple grounds of any temple and take pictures all over the buildings. They are gorgeous. Some will even allow you to enter the main lobby to have a peak and there are always people there to answer questions if you have them. The angel Moroni is atop a spire on every temple because he is the angel that is going to usher in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. (Of course, if anyone has any more questions......missionaries are MORE than happy to answer them)

If you have a temple anywhere near you, member or not, it is always a great place to go and get some FABULOUS architechtural shots! It is also my favorite place to take wedding portraits, since the background is always gorgeous and because I got married in the Las Vegas temple. I hope you enjoy these ones!
