I’m a Utah wedding photographer and spring weddings are now booking.  This is a common phrase I hear this time of year, “I want spring looking engagement photos for my spring wedding.”  That’s hard to do in the dead of winter in Utah.  So how do you give your bride the summery engagement photos she is looking for and not have a time machine?  I’m going to give you the solution I came up with for one client.  This client wanted two locations and one of them needed to be outside.  We decided on Cactus and Tropicals for our inside location and we decided a rocky location up Big Cottonwood Canyon.  My thoughts where if she wants greenery then a green house would be the perfect fit and rocks look like rocks year round!

I love the greenhouse ideas because it’s warm!  So wearing that cute spring dress you imagined is doable.  It will also get you excited for spring being around all those pretty blooming flowers and green plants!  The whole experience feels like love in the springtime!  It is notable the there is a small location fee to some greenhouses.  Talk to me and sometimes I can find ways to discount this price or know inside secrets to deals.  The light in greenhouses is always nice and diffused too!  I truly think it’s one of your best options for faking spring photos in doldrums of winter in Utah.

It will be colder but nature and the landscape of Utah is amazing in photos!  We chose a spot up big cottonwood close to the mouth of the canyon. We didn't want to go up too far, because there would be snow in the photos.  When you are having a springtime wedding, snow in photos isn’t always ideal for your engagement photos.  I think the contrast in the rock is pretty.  The views looking down the canyon also can’t be beat! Making this a great place to take photos for a spring wedding in the dead of winter. Engagement photo problem solved!
