Intimate Destination Wedding at the Bonneville Salt Flats | Utah Salt Flats Wedding Photographer

Kelsey 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.

It looks just as magical as Amangiri and also embraces its natural surroundings and integrates that into the resort seamlessly so you almost can’t tell where one stops and the other starts. I can’t imagine a more perfect setting to elope or get married. It would be an experience you would never forget.

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. They did such a beautiful job mixing modern and mid-century to create such cozy spaces to spend their days at home together, and made an effort to bring in lots and lots of natural light. The walls and colors were neutrals mixed with wood and stone, with giant windows everywhere.
