If you’re dreaming of a fall wedding in Utah that’s both elegant and intimate, S & W’s day at St. Mary of the Assumption and Log Haven is the perfect inspiration. Their celebration blended the grandeur of a Park City ceremony with the cozy magic of a mountain reception. With golden autumn tones, emotional moments, and the perfect touch of adventure, it was a dream to photograph as a Park City wedding photographer.

Getting Ready at St. Regis Deer Valley

The morning started at St. Regis Deer Valley. S and W got ready separately, with laughter and happy nerves filling the suites. Her bridal details—intricate gown textures, delicate jewelry, and a breathtaking bouquet by Wild Aura Floral—set the tone for the day. Meanwhile, W and his groomsmen shared stories and prepped for the unforgettable moments ahead.

Since they skipped a first look, the anticipation built toward that powerful walk down the aisle.

St. Mary of the Assumption Wedding Ceremony in Park City

Tucked in the heart of Park City, St. Mary of the Assumption is one of Utah’s most iconic churches. The soaring wood beams, stained-glass windows, and golden fall light created a cinematic backdrop.

As the doors opened, W saw S for the first time. The look on his face said it all—love, joy, awe. With her dad at her side, S walked down the aisle, and the whole room felt the weight of that moment.

Before the ceremony began, the bridal party huddled in a side room, bouquets arriving from Wild Aura Floral. The energy was electric as everything came together for their vows.

The ceremony itself was heartfelt and intimate—filled with emotion, laughter, and a few tears. When the sunlight streamed through the stained glass, it felt like time stood still.

Bridal Party & Couple Portraits with a Fall Backdrop

Family portraits inside the church captured its grand architecture before we stepped outside into crisp mountain air.

One of my favorite parts of the day? The couple’s intentional portrait time. S & W set aside a quiet window for just the two of them. Her scarf caught the breeze, the mountains glowed in autumn light, and the joy of “we’re finally married” made every frame magic.

Log Haven Wedding Reception in Millcreek Canyon

As the sun set, guests gathered at Log Haven—one of Utah’s most scenic wedding venues. The forest setting, candlelit tables, and cozy mountain lodge vibes made the perfect backdrop for celebration.

Their grand entrance was greeted with cheers, followed by cocktail hour where they mingled with loved ones. Speeches had everyone laughing (and crying). You could feel how deeply these two are loved. They ended the night dancing and making new, long-lasting memories with friends.
