Kelsey and Travis’s intimate, destination wedding at the Bonneville Salt Flats remains one of the highlights of 2021. There was such a beautiful focus on enjoying the entire process, going with the flow, and really being present in the whole experience and it was a joy to photograph. We connected over our love for movement and candid, documentary style photos, as well as a love for black and white images, which was definitely a focus throughout the entire photographic experience.
The day started out at the Hyatt Central Park City on a typical October day in Utah with a light sprinkling of rain. Surrounded by mountains and storm clouds, Kelsey and Travis each got ready in their own rooms, surrounded by beautiful details of raw edged wooden mirrors, aspen wallpaper, and soft touches of gold as they prepared for a first look before everyone headed out to the Salt Flats.

Something I love about wedding photography is that you get to design your day. There is no perfect way, and what suits one couple will be totally different than what suits another. This small, intimate backyard Utah wedding was so beautiful, so intentional, and so meaningful. Amanda and Devin were so down to earth, and so real about exactly what they were wanting their wedding day to look like. They were all about having their most cherished family members to celebrate with them (including their dog babies) and you can really see the deep connection they have with one another. Amanda and Devin has recently lost a grandfather which really played a role in the importance of a simple micro wedding without all the fluff. They also brought in a killer officiant who spoke beautiful words over them in love and support. This summer wedding was hot as hell, but we all got through it and the memories created will last forever.

Couples put so much time and intention into planning their wedding day and part of that planning is to create an experience for their wedding guests. While I love highlighting couples since the main focus of the day is about them, I wanted to do a post that highlighted the wedding guests since they are also a part of what makes up the story of the day.
