Stepp Family Sealing | Whitney Beth Photography | Draper Temple Photographer
 

John and Yuri Stepp live around the corner from Danny and I. If you live in Draper, you may recognize John working the produce section of the Smith's on 123rd. Yuri also makes custom sugar cookies with royal icing. If you remember back to Fields' blessing day, she made the fox, raccoon and pine tree cookies. On Thursday, the 5th of December, John, Yuri and the kids were sealed to each other. 

*For those who don't know what being sealed to each other means, here's a quick history lesson. When Latter Day Saints get married in the temple, it's called a sealing. From that point on, they are with each other forever and any children they bring into this world are sealed to them as well. Think of it like an umbrella. But when a couple gets sealed to each other later in life and they already have kids, the whole family is sealed to each other once mom and dad have been sealed first. 

It was an unbelievably foggy day, you could hardly see Angel Moroni on the steeple. Everyone was worried about how the pictures would look, but I assured them they would be fantastic! Especially since the clouds act as a giant diffuser! Once the sealing was over, everyone who attended gathered outside for a big group shot. We even managed to catch Bro. Lewis on his way out and have him jump in a picture. (He preformed the sealing ceremony.) Once the group pictures were taken I took the Stepps on a quick trip to the other side of the temple and worked our way back to the entrance taking pictures along the way. It was such an honor to have been able to document this important milestone for this beautiful family. I can only imagine that they'll look back on this day with fondness and love.
