Take Me Higher – Epic Balloon Bridals in Kanab, Utah

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” or in the case of this creative weekend… “When Utah brings you wind, let it lift you higher.”

Earlier this year, a small group of creative professionals united in Kanab Utah for a weekend filled with shooting editorials and experiencing the adventure of Southern Utah at the captivating Balloons and Tunes Festival.

With a series of shoots designed by Wedding Planner/Designer Tressa Roberts of Cultivated Events Co., the creative team went down south with a plan, but the unpredictable Utah weather had a different vision for the weekend. Rather than the shoots they had planned, this team, supported by the fearless pilots of the hot air balloons and gracious festival leadership, rallied and worked with the beautiful natural landscape to create an epic series of bridal inspiration. The wind may have made it so the balloons couldn’t fly, but the weekend of collaboration made the creativity of these professionals soar.

Scroll on through all of these magical, majestic images. Beware- breathtaking content ahead!
