Albion Basin Engagement Session
Lindsey and BralanTheir love was so enjoyable to capture and I loved that everything about them felt organic. Even their gallery portrays each moment as it happened that day, the slow walks, the silly laughs, and the special moments together. There wasn’t a dull moment between them during the whole time I was with them.
Utah will never cease to amaze me! Albion Basin is such an amazing location to shoot at with the mountains surrounding the wildflower meadow. It has such a romantic and summery feel to it. This spot is located up Little Cottonwood canyon and is about 45 Minutes from downtown Salt Lake City. Beware, this location is always buzzing with lots of people trying to get their slice of this beautiful scenery as well.
Pro Tips for getting your pictures done at this location; Arrive a couple hours before sunset to make sure you can make it up the canyon and get a parking spot (they only allow as many cars as there are parking spots to go up). Bring bug spray! There are many bugs as well as mosquitos which are not fun to be fighting while trying to get your pictures done!
Lets be real, stuff happens, lighting isn’t always going to be perfect and traffic can’t be controlled. There are so many variables that are out of mine and my clients hands… so I take matters into my own.
FLASH FLASH FLASHThere is something so raw and nostalgic about flash photography. For me, it brings me back to late night adventures and capturing those on cell phones with the flash on. To me they are beautiful and cherished memories. I like to create that same sense and feeling when I shoot flash. I want it to feel like it did in the moment, romantic or adventurous or whatever else may be in the air.
For that reason, as well and the unpredictability of if there will be “ideal” lighting or if everyone is able to make it on time or if the walk to the location end up being more like a hike, I COME PREPARED. I carry my flash to every shoot and ensure that no matter what happens you have a beautiful, story telling gallery of your love.
