I went to Utah initially for Devoted Workshop, a photography workshop in Zion. It was 3 days and I got to learn alongside a bad ass group of gals. The shoots were incredible and it was honestly one of the best experiences! Zion National Park is absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, the views out in Utah are unlike anywhere else.

On the last day of the workshop, Campbell flew into meet me. I wanted to explore more of Utah, so we had a plan of him coming down and us heading to Moab. We spent the first day he was there still in Zion exploring the national park and walking around everywhere. There are tons of small hikes you can do (we were too scared to do Angel’s Landing) so we just did those all day! It was beautiful. We stayed in a super cute AirBnb that was pretty close to the national park on a farm.

The next morning, we stopped to get breakfast at a really cute cafe and then hit the road for Moab! We stayed at Under Canvas Moab and went glamping. Literally it was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in and we got breakfast delivered to us each morning. It was the best staying there! Campbell hates camping but when you’re sleeping on a king sized memory foam mattress, what is there not to love?

That evening, we got our engagement photos taken by the incredible Autumn Nicole! Her work is mind blowing. We went to Dead Horse State Park and the views were absolutely insane. We had such a fun time shooting and the pictures came out better than I ever could have imagined. I’m obsessed!

The next day in Moab we spent all day at Arches National Park! We did tons of hikes around the park, including Delicate Arch which was my favorite. We got so tired by the afternoon hiking around in the sun that we headed back to Under Canvas and took a nap. Then we went into Moab for dinner and walked around the town!

Our last day! Our flight was at 11pm so we had all day. We spent the morning doing a few hikes in Canyonlands National Park which was gorgeous. It was a ginormous park! We went to Mesa Arch and the views were insane. I was scared to get too close to the edge though! Afterwards, we headed towards Salt Lake City since that’s where we were flying out of. We did this hike to these hot springs which was a lot of fun and change of scenery from red rocks. Except it was so hot outside, we could barely get in the water!

Following the hike, we went to In n’ Out and then walked about the city. Salt Lake City was just okay, so we didn’t walk around for too long until we decided to head to the airport.

Overall, southern Utah was a 10/10 and I already want to go back to explore and shoot more!
