Let’s be honest, not every couple session needs golden-hour fields and flowy dresses. Sometimes? It looks like a snow-covered mountain town, a pair of adult beginners lacing up their skates, and an ice rink tucked in the middle of the forest. This Utah winter couple session with Gaby and Mars was exactly that! The kind of day that felt more like a spontaneous adventure than a photo shoot. They laughed through every shaky step on the ice, held hands when balance got questionable, and let themselves just play. Zero pressure, just pure connection, the kind of joy you don’t pose, you feel!
Meet Gaby and Mars: The Chillest (and Most Stylish) Pair on Ice
These two are the definition of “ride or die with extra style.” Gaby grew up skating and just recently circled back to her roots with Monarch Ice, a brand she started that’s all about making ice skating accessories cute and cozy. Mars? He’s out here learning how to skate as an adult just because Gaby loves it, tell us that’s not the most romantic thing ever. They recently bought a rental property in Brian Head, Utah, and have been soaking up winter life in the best way. Between their slow mornings, coffee dates, and now ice dates, they’re living the kind of intentional life you dream about with your person.
Brian Head Ice: For the Couples Who Want a Little Snow and a Lot of Fun
This place is a hidden gem. Brian Head Ice sits surrounded by snowbanks and evergreens, quiet enough to feel like you’ve got the whole mountain to yourselves. And on this particular morning, we basically did. It was cold in that nose-tingly, cheeks-blushing kind of way, the kind of cold that makes you cling to each other a little tighter and laugh a little louder when your skate blades don’t quite cooperate. Whether you’re experienced or just here for the vibes, this rink turns into the dreamiest stage for candid, movement-filled photos. You get to do something together, not just smile for the camera!
Why Winter Couple Sessions Hit Different
Here’s the thing: winter sessions are underrated. There’s something so raw and sweet about being bundled up, letting your nose turn red, and fully leaning into the season. Snowball fights? Yes. Cuddling in oversized coats with your breath fogging the air between kisses? That too. The magic is in the motion, in the way you look at each other mid-spin, or the way your boots crunch side-by-side through untouched snow. This Utah winter couple session gave us all of that. It’s not about perfection, it’s about presence.
