For my next post from The Real Workshop: Christie and Brandon’s sunrise engagement session at the Bonneville Salt Flats! Utah is one incredible state, I must say. You’ve got desert, mountains, and some of the most incredible natural phenomenons I’ve ever seen in person. I’d only ever driven through the salt flats in summertime… they definitely look different in January!

Christie and Brandon met us bright and early for their sunrise engagement session. Our group traveled almost two hours from Ogden for this session – it was an early day for all. When we arrived, we were surprisingly not the only ones out there in the freezing cold! I mean, it makes sense – the scenery, the sunrise, the middle of nowhere… there was even another couple taking their wedding photos nearby. To say this was a destination would be an understatement 🙂

These two were so much fun to photograph. Despite the (below freezing) temperatures, Christie and Brandon kept high spirits and were quick to laugh, dance, and play! We had a small intermission to warm up in our cars before Round 2. I’m so happy we had the opportunity to photograph these lovebirds at this incredible location in their home state! They are clearly super in love, and their happiness is contagious. CONGRATS again, Brandon and Christie!! Thanks for modeling for us!

P.S. Did you know Christie is not only a model and fiancée, but a pretty awesome wedding photographer too?? It’s true! You can check her work out here.

Enjoy!
