Fall is a magical time in Utah, with its vibrant hues of gold, red, and orange painting the landscapes. When Jeremy and Breann approached me about their Fall Woodland Park Bride and Groom Session, I was thrilled. I hadn’t photographed at Woodland Park before, and I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. Sometimes, new locations can be a gamble, but as soon as we arrived, I knew we had struck gold. Woodland Park was a hidden gem, still alive with stunning fall colors even as higher elevations in Utah had started to fade into winter.
A Picture-Perfect Couple
Breann looked radiant in her white wedding dress, her ensemble perfectly complemented by a bouquet of purple and white roses. The bouquet’s elegance matched the season, blending seamlessly with the deep autumn hues surrounding us. Jeremy, sharp and stylish, wore a purple-striped tie that brought out the rich tones of the fall foliage. Together, they were a vision of love and connection.
The way Jeremy and Breann gazed into each other's eyes was the epitome of romance. Their love and passion for one another were palpable, making my job as their photographer an absolute joy. Moments like these remind me why I love capturing love stories — it’s about preserving the emotions, the little stolen glances, and the laughter for years to come.
From Antelope Island to Woodland Park
This wasn’t my first time working with Jeremy and Breann. Just a few months prior, we had shot their engagement photos at Antelope Island. That session had been spectacular, with its breathtaking scenery and golden light, so I had high expectations for this shoot. Yet, Woodland Park managed to offer something entirely different and equally magical. The charm of this new location, combined with the warmth and connection of Jeremy and Breann, created photos that were uniquely stunning.
The Rush Against Time
As any photographer will tell you, the golden hour — the hour before sunset — is sacred. That golden light is what makes photos glow with a soft, natural warmth. However, it also means time is limited. We moved quickly, hoping from one picturesque spot to another.
The park was a treasure trove of natural beauty, with its wooded trails, dense forest trees, stone walls, and sprawling green fields. Each location seemed better than the last, and I could have spent hours photographing this incredible couple in every corner of the park. Breann navigated the trails and fields with grace, even in her flowing wedding dress. Somehow, despite thorn bushes and uneven terrain, she emerged without a single snag or stain on her gown. Jeremy was by her side every step of the way, helping her maneuver through the challenges with care and tenderness.
The Grand Finale
Our final stop was a breathtaking field framed by mountains bathed in the warm, golden hues of the setting sun. The scene was pure magic. It was one of those moments when everything comes together perfectly — the couple, the lighting, and the location. I could have easily spent the entire session in that one spot, capturing the beauty of the moment. Unfortunately, the sun dipped below the horizon, and the light faded, bringing our session to an end.
Looking Ahead
Jeremy and Breann were an absolute dream to work with. Their sense of humor and genuine kindness made the entire experience enjoyable. It’s couples like them that make my job not feel like work at all. I’m already looking forward to their upcoming wedding at the Salt Lake Temple. If their bride and groom session is any indication, their wedding photos will be nothing short of extraordinary.
Why Woodland Park is a Must-Visit Location
Woodland Park has now earned a special place in my heart. Its rich autumn colors, varied landscapes, and serene atmosphere make it a fantastic spot for photos. It’s proof that sometimes taking a chance on a new location can lead to beautiful surprises. If you’re planning a bride and groom session or any other photography session, I highly recommend considering Woodland Park.
Final Thoughts
Jeremy and Breann’s Fall Woodland Park Bride and Groom Session was a testament to the magic of fall, the beauty of love, and the joy of exploring new places. It was an honor to capture their story in such a stunning setting.
