Utah Mountain Lakeside Elopement In The Rain | Tai Lee Photography

Looking for places to elope in the mountains? Utah is FULL of gorgeous mountain locations to get married. Maple Lake is a secluded lake up in the mountains near Payson, Utah. Take the winding roads up to this area in the mountains and exchange vows with your partner surrounded by water and trees. Eloping or having an intimate, micro-wedding in the mountains is peaceful and an adventurous way to start your beautiful union together as a couple.

I literally almost cancelled this session probably a hundred times.  We had plans to go to this gorgeous lakeside up in the mountains for these bridals.  I checked the weather and knew it was going to be rainy and did a constant back and forth on whether or not we should go ahead with it.  That went on literally up to the minute that it was too late to cancel.   I cannot tell you how glad I am that we went ahead with it.  Seriously I love couples that are willing to go with the flow and embrace what happens.  The rain was crazy and I was a bit on the nervous side that we may get struck by lightning but I'm so happy with the end result.  I would say it felt like we were in The Notebook but it was way colder to me than they acted like it was in the movie.  We froze our butts off and did this shoot in about 15 minutes, mayyyybe 20, took a few awkward drowned rat selfies and high-tailed it out of there.  My idea of a good time.  Also, I am so in love with the simple details of the dress and the sagebrush bouquet.  I love doing things outside the box and a little less typical.  This shoot was the bomb.  Bri and Levi were awesome to hang with and I was so happy to have my friend Malissa there to share the adventure!

BOTTOM LINE: When I say I have the coolest clients, I actually do. 😎 This wedding was SO them, and really embodied them as a couple, from the colors and glitter on the guests face after the ceremony, to the all night dance party. I had the best
Nothing was perfect, but we did it anyway. My plan was for summer photos at the lake with the nice, lush willow trees and pretty summer colors, wearing summer clothes, playing in the water, etc, but 2024 was just not my year in a lot of ways, and ti

Fall family session in the fog with my niece's family. Cozy is the funniest kid. She's spunky, fun, and independent, and tried sliding off of a log, and ended up face planting in the dirt.

I LOVED this wedding day. Four guests in the park below the state capitol, ceremony officiated by the grooms mom, and the bride's grandpa walked her down the aisle and shared the first dance with her. It was simple, and deeply meaningful. - #saltla
