We had a bit of a trajedy over this last weekend. After we did a photoshoot at the Salt Lake Temple, our car was broken into, and all of our camera equipment was stolen. Our car doors were locked, and everything was hidden behind tinted windows, and put in it's place. So it can't be said that we didn't take precautionary measures to prevent this from happening. This all happened within the hour we left Salt Lake City Temple. I heard rumors that this type of theft was going on, and it seemed so much like "it might happen to THEM...but not US" kind of situation. Well, it happened to us!!
It was a heart-wrenching situation for both my husband and I because not only was our stuff gone, but the pictures we took were gone with our equipment.
We immediately called the police, and had the car finger-printed, and got finger-printed ourselves. Although we were sorely upset by the situation, I will admit, it was quite exciting to go to the SLC Police Department's Crime Lab. :-) Sadley enough, I wanted to take pictures of it as evidence....but we didn't have our cameras!!! Trust me, that was a VERY enfuriating thought!!!
After leaving the Police department, we went out to our locked car, to find out that the lock was entirely ruined, (that is how they got into our car) and both of our keyless remotes had dead batteries. So we had to call the police back out to help us unlock our car.
TO ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS or if you know a professional photographer....PLEASE let them know to go STRAIGHT home after a temple wedding. Especially if it is at the Salt Lake City temple. Check to be sure they aren't being followed. This could be devastating for anyone who makes this their full time job. Not to mention, I know a few single Mom photographers out there who would be in a worse spot than we are if this happened to them. If anyone see's any suspicious activity in Salt Lake consisting of camera's being gathered from a car, or a photogerapher being followed, please gather license plate information and call the police immediately. We want this these people to get caught!!

Oh my gosh! I heard that that was going on- that they follow the photographer until they pull over somewhere and then break in- that is horrible!! That just makes me sick, people are so dumb. Good luck finding the JERK, I hope you do and I hope they get your stuff back!
