Read MoreKelsey and Travis’s intimate, destination wedding at the Bonneville Salt Flats remains one of the highlights of 2021. There was such a beautiful focus on enjoying the entire process, going with the flow, and really being present in the whole experience and it was a joy to photograph. We connected over our love for movement and candid, documentary style photos, as well as a love for black and white images, which was definitely a focus throughout the entire photographic experience.
The day started out at the Hyatt Central Park City on a typical October day in Utah with a light sprinkling of rain. Surrounded by mountains and storm clouds, Kelsey and Travis each got ready in their own rooms, surrounded by beautiful details of raw edged wooden mirrors, aspen wallpaper, and soft touches of gold as they prepared for a first look before everyone headed out to the Salt Flats.

Tai Lee Photography | Utah Family Photographer
A few months ago I was invited into this beautiful family’s home that they had recently remodeled near Salt Lake City, Utah to photograph their love and connection. I could tell that their daughter Isla was the center of their world and the purpose of everything that they worked hard for and that their home was an expression of their creativity, and extension of their inner selves.

The walls and colors were neutrals mixed with wood and stone, with giant windows everywhere.

These tips for making your wedding planning easier are little nuggets of gold and it’s worth reading every single one. Take a screen shot if you need!
Read MoreI loved collaborating in Sundace, Utah at the Timpanogas Trailhead with fellow creative Katie Bushnell from Havenwood. She did such a beautiful job at taking the little bit of inspiration I sent her and really bringing it to life with her fine art wedding styling. This is exactly what a wedding stylist does. It’s easy to pin all the pretty pictures to Pinterest but it’s an entirely different thing to know how to bring it all together and have it look pretty and balanced. It’s overwhelming to look at all the different wedding table decorations and centerpieces, and even if you do find the right ones, arranging them takes a trained, creative eye.

Read MoreA dreamy winter mountain engagement session and picnic. What more could you ask for.
