About Poppy & Hive
hopeless romantics, at your service
Photographs that outlive the day.
We’re Chris and Erinn, and we’ve been photographing together almost as long as we’ve been married. Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve had a camera in my hand. Eventually Erinn got tired of losing me for 10 hours on Saturdays and Sundays, so she decided to take her artistic background and apply it to pixels instead of paintbrushes. Since then, we’ve added three amazing kids to our family and countless new friends who came to us through their own engagements, weddings or special family moments.
When we’re not behind the lens, you’ll find us exploring all that Utah has to offer, from the many nearby National Parks like Yellowstone and Zion, or just the beauty of our own backyard, hiking the trails of Park City or driving through stunning wildflowers or fall colors in Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons. You can also find us on a paddleboard, at a sushi restaurant, or possibly digging our car out of the mud where we unintentionally drove onto the wrong part of the Bonneville Salt Flats.
