Stunning Engagements at Antelope Island

Antelope Island Engagements
How did you two meet
Chad and Joanna crossed paths during her visit to Florida in 2022. During a dinner in Palm Harbor, FL between mutual friends and Joanna as the guest. It dawned on one couple to call Chad and have him join the group for the evening. At first Joanna was a little apprehensive and Chad didn’t have any game.
However, it didn’t take too long after that night for the couple to begin something special. Some may say that long distance relationships rarely work out. But Chad and Joanna proved it can work! After a few months of Joanna visiting Florida a few more times. the couple talking on the phone through FaceTime for many hours, and Chad visiting Utah for the very first time, it became apparent they had a deep connection.
Through the year together, Chad and Joanna have canyoneered, wakesurfed and hiked across southern Utah. moved Joanna into her first home, grieved the loss of Chad’s father, and vacationed in Costa Rica.

Why Antelope Island?
One of the reasons why Antelope Island is perfect for engagement and wedding photos is its incredible natural beauty. The landscape is full of scenic spots that offer unforgettable photo opportunities, from the rolling hills to the sandy beaches. The island is also known for its wildlife, including the iconic herds of bison that roam free.
Another reason to choose Antelope Island is its accessibility. The island is just a short drive from Salt Lake City, making it an easy location to get to. Once you’re on the island, you have plenty of locations to choose from, each with its own unique features. You can shoot your photos on a secluded beach, or with interesting rock formations in the background.
Be cautious
Yet, we must warn you about one detail to know before planning your photoshoot. Antelope Island is known for being packed with spiders and biting gnats during the summer months. If you plan on doing your photoshoot during the summer. we highly recommend bringing along plenty of bug spray or waiting for a cooler season like fall- spring. With the right precautions, however, you can still get those perfect shots, even during the warmer months.
If you’re looking for a specific location on the island that makes for a stunning photo backdrop, head on over to Buffalo Point. This scenic overlook provides you with a stunning view of the Great Salt Lake and the surrounding islands. The site is a popular spot for photographers, and for good reason. The panoramic views make for an ideal location to capture that special moment.
Finally, Antelope Island is a budget-friendly option for your engagement or wedding photo shoot. Many other popular photo locations, such as national parks or specialized venues, can quickly become pricey. Antelope Island, on the other hand, only requires a small entry fee per vehicle. That means more budget to put towards other aspects of your special day!
