Reasons I vote Louland Falls as one of the best wedding venues in Utah:

Louland Falls has a gorgeous backdrop with mountain scenery for your ceremony. (Win.) You not only get beautiful ceremony scenery, you also get a variety of outdoor spots for portraits. (Win.) You get to work with owners who actually love what they do and are helpful. (Win.) And you can utilize the outdoor space for everything on your wedding day, but you still have indoor space if needed. (Win.)

Let’s explore more reasons why Louland Falls is one of the best wedding venues in Utah:

You basically have a whole mountain for photos at Louland Falls (kind of). If you’re wondering “is Louland Falls a good wedding venue?” One thing that makes Louland Falls a great wedding venue is the ability to take photos in numerous areas. The getting ready area, the ceremony area, the area just by the ceremony area, and up the steps to Louland Falls itself. (Win.)

Another thing that makes Louland Falls a great wedding venue? The owners and employees who help. The owners are SO kind and helpful! As a photographer, they have always welcomed me, and are there to ensure things run smoothly. They have moved microphones for speeches for me, moved the cake for the couple, among a million other things. Seriously so sweet! (Win.)

I love that dance parties, dinner, and speeches can all be done outside with that “nestled in nature” wedding feeling. It also photographs way better!

Louland Falls has comfortable getting ready rooms. The bride’s room is actually smaller than the guys, but longer and with mirror space. It’s a bit narrow and there is no window lighting, but with the right photographer you’ll still get great getting ready photos at Louland Falls.

Louland Falls is an especially beautiful wedding venue when you time your wedding around the best lighting. The colors will pop, you’ll look nice and even, and the venue looks stunning at night.

Top reasons I’m obsessed with Louland Falls

  • Louland Falls venue is stunning. You will get such gorgeous photos! That’s an important one, but as a wedding photographer, I may be biased

  • The pricing is super reasonable! However, they book up FAST, like more than a year in advance all Saturdays will be gone. So get on this one QUICK if you’re interested.

  • The owners are extremely helpful and have been just as helpful at the first wedding I photographed there in 2014 as they were at my recent 2024 wedding I photographed. That tells me they love what they do and want things to go well for your day. Everyone deserves that kind of care.

  • Ceremony, dinner, and reception can all be done outside in the stunning mountain landscape

  • Unique portraits can be taken up by the falls

  • Make sure your photographer has the right equipment for the vibe you’re after (if you dig this wedding vibe, fill out a contact form!!)

This couple loves moodier wedding photos, so I helped them curate a timeline that gave them gorgeous lighting from start to finish, with a mix of warm and filmy images along with moodier photos and nighttime portraits.
