Little Sahara Sand Dunes Styled Shoot

As a wedding photographer, I constantly seek opportunities to enhance my skills and creativity. In July 2023, I had the incredible chance to attend a photography elopement workshop in the stunning landscapes of Utah. This experience not only reignited my passion for photography but also allowed me to connect with talented individuals in the industry.

One of the most memorable moments of the workshop was our last session at the Little Sahara Sand Dunes in Juab County, Utah. The endless stretch of golden sand against the stunning blue sky made for an amazing backdrop for our styled shoot. This one-of-a-kind spot had a magical vibe that was just right for capturing those intimate moments between couples.

Our Professional Model Couple

Our model couple was nothing short of amazing. They were true professionals, effortlessly embodying the essence of love and connection. To make the shoot even more enchanting, the model owns her own wedding dress rental company, showcasing stunning gowns that added to the overall aesthetic. Their chemistry and passion for each other made my job as a photographer incredibly easy.

Incorporating Horses into Our Shoot

Adding an unexpected twist to the styled shoot, we had real horses join us on set! Incorporating these majestic animals into the session created a unique dynamic and allowed us to explore creative poses and setups. The horses brought an element of adventure, further enhancing the elopement theme. It felt like we were capturing a fairytale unfolding in front of our lenses.

Styled shoots are essential for wedding photographers like me. They provide a platform to experiment with new ideas, techniques, and compositions in a relaxed environment. This workshop was no exception; I felt free to express my creativity and push my boundaries. The little details we could manipulate, from the couple’s poses to the elements around them, allowed me to create stunning images that truly represent the magic of elopement.

One of the best aspects of this workshop was the opportunity to connect with fellow creatives. I met many talented individuals, one of whom has become a great friend. We bonded over our shared love for photography and the art of storytelling through images. This friend even flew all the way from Ohio to second-shot with me at one of my weddings this year, and it was a fantastic experience to collaborate and learn from each other!

Attending the elopement workshop in Utah was an unforgettable experience that has enriched my photography journey. From the breathtaking scenery of the Little Sahara Sand Dunes to the inspiring connections I’ve made, this workshop reminded me why I love being a wedding photographer. As I continue to grow in my craft, I look forward to capturing many more love stories in the future.
