Oh my goodness. I don’t think you guys are even ready for this one. Andrea and Ben’s Moab Desert, Utah engagement session was a DREAM. Once you see the pictures, you’ll understand why 😉 Let’s get into it.

Andrea and Ben are both actually from New York, but are currently residing in Utah. It’s honestly such a full-circle moment and I am HERE for it! I am so thankful to have been given the opportunity to capture this sweet couple’s love story in the desert. As soon as we met up, Andrea asked if I was okay with “off-roading” a bit; I swear my heart literally skipped a beat when she asked that. We drove around the desert looking for incredible views (which weren’t hard to find), scaling boulders in their vehicle. I was genuinely impressed by Andrea’s driving skills, despite the steep rocks and deep valley below 😉

For some of their photos, we went to an overlook spot at Canyonlands National Park – which is seriously such a dreamy spot. The views were absolutely breathtaking with the blue skies, deep red rocks, and snowcapped mountains in the distance. Andrea and Ben looked INCREDIBLE – just wait until you see Andrea’s custom-made fringed jacket from Opal Milk (which will make another appearance on their wedding day). As if their engagement session wasn’t enough to bring me to tears, they are tying the knot in the Adirondack Mountains this Fall!! If you know me, you know how near-and-dear to my heart they are. Andrea literally said, and I quote: “I really can’t wait to frolic around in the woods”. Stay tuned for their wedding because I’m going to be blogging the HECK out of them. 

I couldn’t have asked for a better time exploring with Andrea and Ben for their Moab Desert, Utah engagement session. They are the epitome of my “brand”; love is rare, wild and true. If you are looking for more from Andrea, she actually has her own Etsy shop called the Stitch Hiker. As always, be sure to keep up with me over on Instagram (@michellegodfreyphoto). Until next time, lovers!
