Tucked away in the heart of Utah lies a hidden gem that’s straight out of a dream – Stansbury Island pink lake. This gorgeous spot is one of the reasons I fell in love with Utah. It isn’t just picturesque; it’s a unique backdrop that is the perfect spot for any photography session!

What is an Adventure Session?

An adventure session in photography is all about going beyond the ordinary and diving into an experience together. Unlike typical photo shoots, these sessions unfold in natural settings like mountains, forests, or in our case, the stunning pink salt lake of Stansbury Island. They’re about fun, adventure, spontaneity and capturing real moments as they happen. Whether it’s hiking to a scenic spot or simply exploring a hidden gem, adventure sessions allow you to celebrate your love while surrounded by the beauty of nature.

The Charm of Stansbury Island Pink Lake

Imagine a serene oasis amidst Utah’s rugged terrain, where the water blushes pink under the sun’s golden glow. Stansbury Island’s pink lake achieves this surreal hue due to its high salinity and the presence of certain algae, creating a scene in the summertime that’s as romantic as it is breathtaking.

We caught the lake in early June, so the larger body of water hadn’t fully turned pink yet, but we found a few shallower pools that had much more color.

Why Choose the Pink Salt Lake?

Beyond its stunning visuals, Stansbury Island pink lake offers a sense of tranquility and seclusion that’s perfect for couples looking to escape and reconnect in nature. The lake is large and, compared to other natural wonders in Utah, the pink salt lake is not a well-trafficked, making it a perfect location if you want to escape the crowds! It’s also shallow, so it’s the perfect place to create those fun, romantic, splashing in the water images.

Capturing Your Love Story Amidst Nature’s Canvas

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Rachel and Uyi for their adventure session in Utah. Their session was a perfect blend of adventure and intimacy, with the Stansbury Island pink lake as the perfect backdrop for their session. I absolutely love how the sun reflects off of the still water, creating beautiful reflections that makes for gorgeous images.

Tips for an Unforgettable Experience

If you’re considering Stansbury Island pink lake for your own adventure photography session, here are a few tips to ensure your experience is everything you’ve dreamed of:

  • Timing is Everything: Plan your visit when the pink hues of the lake are at their most vibrant, typically during late summer and fall.
  • Embrace the Adventure: The lake is a desert environment, so come prepared with comfortable clothing, sunscreen, snacks and plenty of water!
  • Capture the Moment: Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, anniversary, or just the joy of being together, the pink salt lake is a gorgeous spot to create lasting memories.
