TOP FLOWER PHOTO LOCATIONS IN UTAH

Are you looking for beautiful flowers to be in your engagement or bridal/formal pictures? Here are my favorite Utah locations to go to and the best time of the year to shoot there.

Contact me to schedule a session at one of these beautiful spots!

Utah State Capitol Cherry Blossoms

At the Capitol, the blossoms are gorgeous and they usually are the first to bloom before anywhere else. The best time to shoot here is anywhere from the first to third week of April depending on the year. The best time to go is in the morning or on a weekday evening. The weekends will be very crowded.

orem & elk ridge Orchards

The last week of April to the first couple of weeks of May is best to get the blossoms in orchards. The peaches (pink blossoms) usually come first. Then the cherry (white blossoms) come next. I have a great local orchard in Orem that I love or one in Elk Ridge. I love shooting in orchards!

Tulip Festival, Thanksgiving Point

Thanksgiving point has their tulip festival in April and May. Ashton Gardens is beautiful and there are so many pretty spots here. Consider renting a golf cart to get around quicker. Also try to avoid weekends because of crowds. Go here to see their photography fees.

KyhV PEAK, Provo Canyon

This location is about a mile up Kyhv peak road. The yellow flowers bloom mid to late May. It has beautiful views of Provo canyon.

buffalo peak, provo canyon

One of my favorite spots to shoot. This location is stunning in the summer and fall whether there are flowers or not. There are yellow flowers that bloom in a big field about the 2nd or 3rd week of June. This location has a 10 minute bumpy dirt road that you have to drive on. There is also a 5-10 hike to get to the flower field.

LAVENDER FIELDS, MONA

The lavender fields at Young Living Farms in Mona are gorgeous! They bloom most of July. You have to reserve a time before you go. Each hour costs $75. I’d recommend scheduling a time in March to get one of the sunset times.

albion basin, little cottonwood canyon

This location is probably the most iconic wild flower spot in Utah. The flowers usually bloom at the end of July. The flowers are stunning! Since this spot is so popular, there are ropes to keep you on the trails. The rangers don’t want people to trample the flowers, so you must stay on the path. However, they have about 5-6 photo spots that put you right in the middle of the flowers. The best time to go is a weekday. And don’t forget your bug spray!

Location fee is $10 at the toll booth.

Red Butte Garden

Beautiful location with so many photo spots with all sorts of flowers all throughout Spring and Summer. Requires entry and photography fee. Check here for those prices.

Saratoga Springs Temple & Amavi Event Center | Zoe & Matthew Wedding

I met Zoe at her brother’s wedding last year. I totally teased her for being the only single one in her family, but I knew she’d be snatched up real quick. She is so gorgeous, so talented, so kind and so easy going. Little did I know she was writing a missionary at the time and when he got home, it didn’t take long for them to decide on forever.

A few weeks before their wedding day, we did their bridal and formal pictures at the Utah State Capitol. It is such a classy venue. Check out their formal session here.

Zoe and Matt had such a beautiful wedding at the Saratoga Springs temple in Utah. It was a very cold winter day in January, but these two were troopers being out in the cold for all the pictures.

The reception: Their wedding reception was at The Amavi Event Venue in Spanish Fork, Utah. I love this reception center. It such a big space with white walls, high ceilings, and wood floors. I love the different focal points they have– the fireplace and the arch shaped nook. Zoe chose to put up a black metal arch with a gorgeous floral arrangement on the corner and did one of those cute flourescent name signs.

The Bride’s Dress: Zoe bought her dress from Pritchett Bridal in Orem, Utah. I loved how elegant it was and her sleeves were so pretty. My favorite part were her hot pink heels, totally Barbie vibes. And so cute! Her bridesmaids all had pink shoes too.

The Groom's Suit: Matt’s black suit was from Men’s Wearhouse. I loved his hot pink tie. He had matching pink socks as well. I think he is the first groom I’ve photographed with hot pink touches and he could totally pull it off!

The Bride’s bouquet: Zoe’s wedding day florist was Wright Floral Company. They made the most beautiful bouquet with all the pink touches.

Food: They had a street taco bar and a churro station from Marvellous Catering. It was delicious!

It was such a fun reception! I loved when Zoe’s nephew was all out dancing in the middle of the dance circle and all the groomsmen were cheering him on. Little kids are the best.

The sparkler send off went so well. It was a great time celebrating their love.

Congratulations Zoe and Matthew!

A nice note from Zoe: “Jamie I seriously can’t thank you enough these are stunning!! Everything I could ever hope for and more! I love every single picture and I am so glad we have these to have forever. You are so talented and I am grateful you were our photographer. We love you!!!”

Utah State Capitol, Utah | Zoe & Matthew Bridals/Formals

Since it was freezing outside, Zoe and Matthew decided to do their bridal pictures at the Utah State Capitol. It is a very classy venue with the most beautiful architecture. It fit Zoe and Matthew’s vibe.

They are the cutest couple. Matthew was so excited to see her in her dress. And Zoe looked stunning!! Their session was effortless. They are so photogenic.
