FROZEN LAKE COUPLE SESSION – UTAH LAKE

I don’t even know where to begin with these two! If you don’t know them, you are missing out. Anytime I spend time with them, I walk away just feeling SO GOOD! They are so happy and in love, and it rubs off on me. I love them!! They got married last year, and I got to do their engagements, formals, and wedding. I really am the luckiest.

When the ice showed up on Utah Lake this year, I knew I wanted to shoot it. I actually live right next to the lake, and I always forget that I do because I don’t ever do anything but shoot at the lake. I usually go look at the ice every winter, and it’s pretty rad, but this year, I wanted to shoot it. If there’s one thing I have learned with unique locations, it is that you should shoot them ASAP before they change. Especially here in Utah when things change so much and so quickly! When the lake is iced over, get there like yesterday. As soon as I saw the lake was frozen, we decided to go for it.

The day that we shot this frozen lake couple session, it was actually almost 50 degrees. I mean, I was a little nervous about the ice melting or us falling in, but it was right close to the edge. At most parts, it was like 6-12″ deep, so not a big deal. At one point, I made my way around the ice pile to get to the other side, and on my way back over, the ice broke under me, and I fell in. The water was maybe 2.5′ deep, but it just kept breaking under me, so I definitely tripped and fell in almost to my neck hahaha thankfully I was able to keep my cameras up above the water! Because it was still fairly warm, I also really wasn’t that cold. So we stayed and finished! SO WORTH IT!
