“The redrocks of Southeastern Utah get a lot of love, but northern Utah surrounding Salt Lake City has a totally different landscape – you’ll be overwhelmed by gardens, greenery and tall pine trees! Couples looking for a gorgeous venue, easy to access for guests with a historic backdrop should check out The Chase Mill at Tracy Aviary & Botanical Garden. See photos + read about Cianna and Josh’s wedding day at this Salt Lake City Wedding Venue!”
“She said yes (obviously!) and when she reached out to me to shoot their engagement photos I could NOT have been more thrilled and honored. Lior and Katie love adventuring to the desert of Joshua Tree, a getaway just two hours east of Los Angeles with tons of antique shops, unique handcrafted goods like the Crochet museum, and western style saloons. Since the two will be getting married in San Miguel, CA, a town in San Luis Obispo County about ten miles north of Paso Robles, taking engagement photos in Joshua Tree meant incorporating place that means so much to them into this next chapter as a married couple.
The desert around us was incredibly windy, really highlighting Katie’s dress and giving their shoot this super romantic vibe. As the sun set over the desert the two threw their heads back in laughter, wrapped up in each others’ arms, and made Joshua Tree look wild and free in the way only two people madly in love really ever could..”
Palm Springs is the perfect place for playful, fun engagement photos! For Marissa and Alex - a couple known to their friends for their silly, carefree personalities and larger-than-life laughs - Palm Springs was an awesome place for an engagement shoot. It was insanely windy but luckily, Marissa and Alex were unfazed by it, and it honestly made for THE MOST romantic golden hour photos! With the sun setting behind them, windmills churning away in the distance, these two laughed, ran, danced, twirled, and kissed (and there were even a few piggyback rides!) til the last bit of light left. It was an epic adventure with two hilarious, amazing, wholehearted people and I LOVE how the photos really show their personalities.
After over a decade together, Morgan and Tyler decided to get married in a place they both absolutely love: beneath the ancient coastal Redwood trees of California. On our first call, Morgan told me that she dreamt of marrying Tyler in a forest location, but never thought bringing the dogs would be possible - until she came across one of my blog posts and realized it IS, in fact, possible!!! One might even say… pawsible. It was quite a journey, as the couple traveled all the way from Arizona to the Bay Area in order to make this forest wedding dream a reality! Dedicated dog parents, their day couldn’t be complete without their rescue pups, Duke, Prinn, and Frasier (a.k.a. Beans) by their side. Morgan and Tyler are both pharmacists by day but spend their spare time fostering dogs – my heart! Together, joined by just two of their friends, Morgan and Tyler exchanged heartfelt wedding vows as the sun peeked between the trees on a beautiful day in northern California.
“Choosing where in Utah to get married can be so difficult - this beautiful state’s home to impossibly tall mountains, epic canyons made of red rocks, alpine lakes, and everything in between…. Helping Isez and Ismael find a beautiful, dog-friendly place for their elopement was so much fun + extremely rewarding.
Isez + Ismael originally had hoped to elope in Scotland. When that plan was stalled indefinitely due to the pandemic they pivoted, knowing that although they wouldn’t be able to travel like they’d intended, they could still bring a sense of adventure to an elopement here in Utah. And that’s exactly what they did! As an added bonus, they brought their super sweet 6-month-old French Bulldog, Blu!”
If you’re thinking about getting married in the mountains of Utah, these are absolutely the places you’ve got to consider for your ceremony. Of course, it depends on what exactly you’re looking for: are you picturing a warm, summer wedding surrounded by lush alpine trees? Or are you team winter wedding, prepped for an Elsa-level ceremony, and hitting the slopes after?
Whatever your preference, these five Utah mountain venues would elevate any wedding day! (See what I did there?)
