If you are searching for Utah wedding venues with modern amenities, crisp architecture, and scenic mountain views, I personally recommend The Lodge at Blue Sky Auberge. The Lodge at Blue Sky is in fact a resort that is renowned among world travelers. But, it is also an unmistakably phenomenal wedding venue. The Western landscape of this Utah wedding venue is sprawling, providing expansive views in the distance.
What I love most about The Lodge at Blue Sky Auberge is the views from their wedding ceremony space. However, their grand staircase is also an ideal location for a first look or wedding day portraiture. The mountains in the backdrop fill the view for couples as they say I do. All while giving their guests a once-in-a-lifetime view. After my couples have said I do, I love to revisit their already decorated ceremony space to capture additional wedding day photos. This can easily be done while guests are enjoying cocktail hour. There is no denying that on the list of Utah wedding venues with a view, The Lodge at Blue Sky Auberge offers a remarkable backdrop.

Searching for chic and stylish Utah wedding venues? Twenty & Creek is newly renovated and the design is undeniably stunning. The talented Fox Group was the team behind redesigning and re-imagining Twenty & Creek. And what they created is pure wedding day magic. Twenty & Creek is an indoor-outdoor wedding venue. This is particularly amazing for creating a wide range of photos during your wedding photography experience. The grounds are lush and romantic but the inside space is bright and flooded with light.
In particular, the ceremony space inside Twenty & Creek is a phenomenal setting. You’ll make your way down the altar from their grand staircase before entering the white-washed space. The ceremony space is completely surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing the light to flood in and reflect off the crisp white walls. This particular setting creates a glowy space that adds a dash of starlight to your wedding ceremony photos.

River Bottoms Ranch is an indoor-outdoor wedding venue located in Midway, Utah. Though the venue is a stunning farmhouse space, it is for those who desire a chic meets modern wedding day. River Bottoms Ranch offers its space any time of the year. Surrounding its famed Gambrel Barn are acres of grass hay, streams, and a private pond. A quaint white wooden bridge connects the body of water on the property. And the stunning 360-degree views of the valley highlight the dramatic peaks of Mount Timpanogos.

6) Wadley Farms
A blend of old-world charm and romantic elegance earns Wadley Farms a spot on my list of the top 6 Utah wedding venues for the best photography experience. Located at the base of Mount Timpanogos, Wadley Farms is a wedding venue with a grand castle, and two historical buildings. You’ll find their 23 sprawling acres of gardens, vineyards, and orchards evoke a wedding photography experience that is romantic and timeless.
One of the best times for hosting a wedding at Wadley Farms is around mid-summer. During this time the vineyards on the grounds of the venue come to life. The grapes bloom on the vines and they can be picked fresh to enjoy while capturing your wedding day portraiture. I especially love this idea for sunset wedding photos. But, if you want something a bit more grand out of your wedding photography experience at Wadley Farms, we can always stroll the lush grounds and use the castle as our backdrop.
