I bring deep location knowledge, drone photography, and Milky Way star images to create timeless, awe-inspiring wedding photos in one of the most surreal landscapes in the world.

I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings and helped many couples plan their elopement from start to finish. I'll guide you through the logistics of this remote and ever-changing landscape. From timeline, activity, and vendor recommendations - I'll be with you every step of the way.

I offer so much more than basic photos: drone imagery, Milky Way photos, film, and instant prints. I’m here to help you experience your wedding day fully — and remember it beautifully.

I've been named "Queen of the Salt Flats", one of the best salt flats photographers by other Utah photographers.

An Elevated Approach to Salt Flats Wedding Photography

WELCOME, I'm Kaci

“I have nothing but. great things to say about Kaci. The photos are beyond phenomenal!”

She helped us plan our day from out of state, making sure we had nothing to worry about when our wedding day finally came. The photos are beyond phenomenal and she was super quick to get all of them back to us. She is so kind and goes out of her way to make your day spectacular.

Why the Salt Flats...You're dreaming of a salt flats wedding because you want to get married somewhere totally unique, not the same venue everyone you know got married at down the street.

Salt Flats Wedding Locations

The Utah Salt Flats - officially called the Bonneville Salt Flats, Wendover, Utah are miles and miles of vast flat land covered in salt. They're located about 1.5 hours away from Salt Lake City, 2 hours from Park City in the middle of nowhere.

There are two main spots to meet at for your salt flats wedding: the Bonneville Salt Flats Westbound Rest Stop and the Bonneville Salt Flats Speedway.

Bonneville Salt Flats Westbound Rest Stop

The westbound rest stop is only accessible by going West on I-80. It is private property and currently has port-a-potties and a few picnic tables. It is fenced off so you cannot drive here. It is usually more crowded than the speedway. 

If you're staying in Wendover instead of Salt Lake City or Park City, then you will only be able to use the speedway (since you will be going East on the I-80 to get to the salt flats).

I typically recommend the salt flats speedway for your ceremony since it tends to be less crowded and you can drive on it during dry season. It's on the same exit as the gas station. This is the location you will use if you are staying in Wendover. I've also found that the speedway tends to flood more than the rest stop if you want reflection photos.

Above the Flats
Salt Flats Wedding Venue

I'm a preferred vendor for Above the Flats, the absolute best place for you to stay during your wedding or elopement. Not only is it the closest (you'll literally have a view of the flats from your window), it is the most luxurious option in Wendover. Spacious, styled well, everything you could ever need since you have access to the whole home.

Best time to Get Married at the Salt Flats

wet season

The salt flats are usually flooded in the winter and early Spring, around December-April depending on the weather. It is chilly 30-40 degrees with high winds but if you can get a calm day, the reflection is out of this world!

Dry season

During the summer months usually June-October, the salt flats are dried out with beautiful lines. This is when they are more crowded and you need to check for any events happening there like speed week. Summer is also the best time to capture the Milky Way there!

It would be an honor to work with you! I help most of my couples plan their incredible salt flats wedding from out of state. Many are visiting for the first time. 

If you want an unforgettable setting for your ceremony, the salt flats are it!

It's a blank canvas for whatever kind of wedding or elopement you're dreaming of. I'd love to help you make it a reality and have beautiful photos to remember it all with!
