Great Salt Lake Engagement Session

Keanna and Thomas wanted their engagement photos to be taken at a unique location so they chose the Great Salt Lake for the engagement session. I love coming to this spot for its golden sunset and dreamy, pastel colors that present themselves after the sun sets. We had originally planned to meet at a different location, however, there was a concert happening so we had to switch plans on the fly. Luckily, we got this amazing spot at the Great Salt Lake all to ourselves for this beautiful engagement session.

I had texted Keanna earlier in the day just reaffirming our session and told her I’d be parked in a black Subaru. She immediately texted back saying they would be in a blue Subaru and so we immediately bonded over being Subaru drivers 😉 IYKYK! But then when they showed up both wearing Chacos was when I was convinced that we would really get along great. I pretty much live in my Chacos all summer long and this was the warmest day of the year so far!

I loved getting to know this sweet couple and am so in love with their engagement session 🙂 They brought two different options, which I though both really worked for the Great Salt Lake!

For their first outfit, they chose more casual attire. Look at how well it matches the surrounding area.

Of course I had to get a photo of them wearing their Chacos 🙂

They quickly changed in the bushes (my couples are the BEST). Their second outfits also matched the landscape as the sun began to set. Check out the parasail in the background. Would 100% love to try that!

I absolutely love coming here and I think it is a great option for the fall, winter, and spring seasons! To see more photos taken at the Great Salt Lake, check out this post.
