CREATING A MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE — A LAKE POWELL ADVENTURE WORTH REMEMBERING

Some love stories are best told with a little wind in your hair, stars overhead, and red canyon cliffs rising around you. This is one of those stories.

Over the summer, I took a trip to Lake Powell with a few of our closest friends. We rented a houseboat, packed our bags, and set out on a five-day adventure into the still, golden waters and quiet canyon arms of Bullfrog Bay.

No signal. No deadlines. Just slow mornings in swimsuits, cliffside kayaking, dancing on the deck, and nights under the stars.

And let me just say this — Lake Powell is magical. It’s not just a backdrop. It’s the kind of place where you slow down, breathe deeper, and connect more fully — with nature, with the people around you, and with your own story.

Whether you’re dreaming of a playful, off-the-grid engagement shoot or a tiny elopement surrounded by nature, Lake Powell is a location that offers something unforgettable.

TIPS & IDEAS —

WHY LAKE POWELL IS PERFECT FOR COUPLES

Whether you're planning a destination elopement or looking for a unique setting for your engagement session, here’s why Lake Powell should be on your radar:

Dramatic Scenery: Towering red rock canyons, crystal-clear water, and endless skies. It’s like being on another planet—in the best way.
Total Privacy: Rent a houseboat and sail into quiet solitude. It’s just you, your people, and the wide open water.
Multi-Day Adventure: Make it more than just a photoshoot. Turn it into a shared experience with built-in connection and intention.

HOW TO PLAN A LAKE POWELL PHOTO EXPERIENCE

Here’s what to know if you're dreaming up a session (or wedding) like this:

1. Lake Powell Houseboat Rentals:

This is the most seamless way to fully immerse in the Lake Powell experience. You can stay out on the water for days—anchoring in quiet coves, waking up to mirror-like reflections, and staying cool with mid-day swims. Check out: Bullfrog Marina Houseboat Rentals
2. The Best Photo Moments Happen at Sunrise & Sunset:

Golden hour here is next level. Light reflects off the canyon walls and the lake glows. Whether you're exchanging vows or popping champagne during your session, timing it with sunrise or sunset is worth it.

3. Choose Your Adventure Vibe:

Whether you want to go full-glam in the middle of the desert or barefoot boho, your Lake Powell story can be styled your way. Bring a mix of relaxed and elevated outfits if you want variety.

4. Let It Be Playful and Intentional:

Pack your favorite games, music playlists, books, or meaningful tokens. We spent late nights on the deck stargazing and belly laughing—those little moments of play and connection are what come through in the photos.
