Utah Engagement Photos Among the Red Rocks


When we decided on Southern Utah for their session, February weather had other plans. Cold, snowy conditions threatened our trip until we were blessed with a small window of clear roads. We seized the moment, packed up, and embarked on what became an unforgettable adventure.


Once through the mountains, we found ourselves surrounded by stunning red rock landscapes under perfect skies. We spent golden hour exploring the terrain, capturing Alicia and Michael's genuine connection. These goofballs filled the session with candid smiles and laughter, letting their personalities shine against Southern Utah's dramatic backdrop.

Full Circle Moments


After the shoot, we visited the spot where Brayden proposed to me which felt like a beautiful full-circle moment. This wasn't just a photoshoot. It was an adventure celebrating love and friendship, reminding us how beautiful it is when people you care about find their perfect match.
