Silver Lake Utah Formal Session

Utah Formal Session

I was so excited when Lizz and Chase wanted to do their formals at Silver Lake Utah. I had never shot there before but have loved the photos I’ve seen. Lizz and I went to high school together and I have always loved her kind and outgoing personality. We did theater together and spent lots of time backstage during the high school plays. Lizz and Chase make a beautiful couple and I have loved being a part of their wedding experience!

Silver Lake Utah

Silver Lake is a beautiful location up Big Cottonwood canyon. You drive all the way to the top until you get to Brighton Ski Resort and the Lake is just next to it. When I arrived I was greeted by a very nice park ranger. She informed me of the rules of photographing at this location: stay on the boardwalk. With the exception of the wooded area, visitors are not allowed to step off of the boarded path. This made it a bit tricky to do a first look and get wider shots with the desired background. However, we made it work and I love the results.

There happened to be a wedding happening at Silver Lake on the day we were there. We were disappointed to see that the wedding was taking place on the dock area right next to the lake which is a prime photo spot. However, near the end of our shoot the wedding party left right as we were passing by. We snagged it just in time for a few epic shots right on the lake. Right as we were finishing up a couple people who were vising from an Asian country stopped to take photos of the cute couple. They were so enamored by Lizz and could not stop gushing over her and her beautiful dress.
