Chasing Sunrise: A Dreamy Bridal Photoshoot in the Hazy Morning Light

We're headed to Zion's National Park


This fall we took a trip down to Zion's National Park for photography. The evening before our sunrise session we went out for a scouting trip to hike and find our ideal location for the next day. I couldn't believe the amazing place we had found for a sunrise session and was so excited to capture the most amazing bridal portraits there! The next morning we began our pre-dawn adventure, setting out on our short hike under the stars to arrive before the sun.

Desert bridals were underway!


As the first rays of light began to paint the horizon in shades of rose and gold, the world seemed to hold its breath in anticipation. The hazy sunrise lent an intensity to the scene—an otherworldly beauty that stole the breath away.


Tami wore a veil of untraditional tan, a cowgirl hat, and a bouquet of dried florals that perfectly matched to the desert vibes. She absolutely stood as a vision of timeless elegance amidst the wilderness. Her gown and veil were from the local dress company, Salt Gowns. The bouquet was created by Olive and Sage Floral. The most extraordinary moments and photos await those brave enough to chase the sunrise.
