Bonneville Salt Flats Wedding Inspiration and Anniversary Photos | Utah Fine Art Photographer

Thank you to Magnolia Rouge for featuring this beautiful anniversary and inspiration shoot! You can view the full feature HERE!

Today I have this gorgeous inspiration shoot to share with you photographed on the incredible landscape of the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Not only did Austin and Alina recently celebrate their three year wedding anniversary, they also just graduated from college and moved from Utah to California. To commemorate the significance of these achievements as well as the time they spent in Utah, they wanted to have some anniversary photos taken before moving. As Utah is known for its disparate and striking geography, they wanted to showcase this aspect of living there in their photographs. That way they would always have a piece of this truly grand state in their lives. The Bonneville Salt Flats could not have been a more perfect choice. Comprised of massive sheets of densely packed salt and minerals, they sparkle and glisten in the sun. Not only are they radiant with beauty, but they are also statistically impressive; these salt flats are some of the largest in the western United States. When we arrived at the location, the entire landscape was filled with gorgeous golden light refracting off the striking salt flat floor.

I loved Alina’s simple white dress and pull-over sweater, as well as Austin’s handsome J. Crew suit. The couple’s crisp, understated style complemented the tones of the landscape beautifully, allowing the scenes natural splendour and the couple’s connection with each other to shine through. Shasta Bell Calligraphy provided a gorgeous invitation suite to compliment these photographs; I love how their raw, minimal, and modern aesthetic reflect both the pure beauty of the Salt Flats as well as the couple’s contemporary, clean style. It was such a joy to capture these moments for Alina and Austin! I hope they will treasure them for years to come.
