Dan + Mckenzie || engagement photographer in Utah

Dan and Mckenzie contacted me because they needed some pictures for their wedding in Arizona.  They are a super nice couple and I was happy to work with them.  They came prepared with a car full of clothes and a computer full of pictures they liked.  And I thought I was the super-prepared type, they had me beat, but I loved it!   They really loved sunset pictures and so we went to Saltair.

I hadn't been to Saltair for a couple of months and was not expecting it to be such an awful, bug-infested pile of Salt.  Big, tiger-striped flys that bite and did bite poor Mckenzie many times, but left Dan and I alone.   The mosquitoes weren't as picky and had a nice feast on all of us!   

And, I had an Arachnophobia moment.   We went to this pile of cement blocks that I thought would be nice to get some pictures by.   As, we walked into the half moon crescent that they formed, I looked up into one of the blocks I saw a huge spider sitting on it's web.  Then my eyes adjusted and in the hallow center of the block were lots of huge spiders just hanging out on their webs.   Then I looked at all the cement blocks that surrounded and towered 5 feet above me and there were thousands of huge spiders in all the blocks.   I was like,  "Awwww!" on the inside (gotta keep my cool for my clients) and started backing up very slowly like it was a ravaged rabies-ridden dog.    Uggh! I hate spiders!  I secretly wanted to go back with some spider killer and spray all of them, but I would probably mess up the ecosystem of  Saltair and there would be an explosion of biting tiger flys.  ha! 

Anyways on to the pictures.
