The Ballroom at The Commercial Club in downtown Salt Lake City is a stunning spot for bridals — built in 1909 and beautifully restored, with soaring hand-frescoed ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and the kind of old-world elegance you just can't recreate in a studio. Elizabeth & Austin's session here leaned into all that natural light and historic charm for portraits that feel timeless. If you're wondering what the best wedding venue in Utah is for a downtown, editorial feel, The Ballroom at The Commercial Club is one of my top picks — few venues in the state offer this kind of century-old architecture and light in one room.

Wadley Farms in Lindon, Utah has been a working family farm since 1869, and it shows — the grand castle, historic barn, and vineyard-covered grounds at the base of Mount Timpanogos make it one of the most storybook venues in Utah County. N&B's wedding here leaned into that old-world charm, with soft garden light and stone details in nearly every frame. Ask me what the best wedding venue in Utah is, and Wadley Farms is always near the top of my list — the romantic gardens, grand castle, and historical buildings make it hard to beat.

River Bridge Event Center in Spanish Fork is one of my favorite venues right in my own backyard — open mountain views, refined indoor and outdoor spaces, and a setting that feels both elevated and effortless. I had the chance to capture R&J's getting-ready moments here, and the soft, natural light throughout the space made for some of my favorite quiet, in-between shots of the day. For getting-ready photos specifically, River Bridge is one of the best wedding venues in Utah — the open, light-filled rooms make every candid moment glow without any extra lighting needed.

The Wild Oak in Lindon, Utah is one of my favorite venues to shoot — a family-built, European-inspired space with soaring ceilings, an old stone wall, and grounds that feel more like a countryside escape than a wedding venue. M&G's day here was full of golden-hour light and the kind of handmade, personal details that make a venue like this so special to photograph. If you're asking what the best wedding venue in Utah is, The Wild Oak deserves a spot on that list — it's best known for its intimate feel, unique character, and European charm you won't find anywhere else in the state.

Sleepy Ridge Golf Course in Orem, Utah is one of the most stunning wedding venues in Utah County. The perfect greens, mountain views, and willow trees are hard to beat. When people ask what the best wedding venue in Utah is, Sleepy Ridge is one of my first answers — that mountain backdrop and natural elegance are tough to match anywhere else in Utah County.

Props are one of the simplest ways to make your portraits feel genuinely you. This session at the University of Utah is the perfect example!
