plan a photoshoot at the saltair

Let me tell you, one place that has truly captured my heart is the Great Salt Lake near The Great Saltair.

If you're passing through town and seeking a skilled photographer to capture your adventurous spirit while exploring the beaches of Utah's famous lake, I'd be honored to be your Great Salt Lake Photographer.

In this blog post, I can't wait to share with you some practical tips to ensure your Great Salt Lake photoshoot is an absolute breeze.

Capturing Engagements, Bridals, and Couple Sessions:

The Great Salt Lake not only offers a perfect backdrop for casual photoshoots like the memorable one I had with Madison and Caison, but it's also an ideal location for engagement sessions, bridal shoots, and capturing those intimate moments between couples.

As an alternative to the Bonneville Salt Flats, many photographers choose to bring their clients near the Bonneville Speedway or the Salt Flats rest area, which is approximately a 1.5-hour drive from Wendover.

However, the spot I'm referring to on the Great Salt Lake is just a 20-minute drive from the Salt Lake Valley, providing you with that unique and mesmerizing backdrop you've been dreaming of.

Tips for Your Great Salt Lake Photoshoot:

1. Footwear Matters: Remember to bring suitable shoes that can handle the salty and sandy environment of the Great Salt Lake. Protect your favorite pair by opting for rubber shoes that are easy to rinse off after the shoot. It's a practical and hassle-free choice!

2. Embrace the Flow: When planning your Great Salt Lake photoshoot, consider incorporating flowy outfits like dresses and shirts. Trust me, they add an extra touch of grace and enchantment to your photos, especially with the gentle evening breeze that often accompanies the shoot. It creates a magical atmosphere that will make your images truly captivating.

3. Keep the Bugs at Bay: Bugs tend to be more active around the Great Salt Lake between April and July. To ensure you have a comfortable and uninterrupted photoshoot experience, make sure to pack some bug spray. Although the bug activity near the shore is generally manageable, it's always better to be prepared and enjoy a bug-free session.

4. A Short Stroll to Stunning Views: Just a heads up – be ready for a brief 5-minute walk to reach the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake. But trust me, it's a small effort that rewards you with breathtaking vistas and the opportunity to capture the mesmerizing beauty of the lake.
