Portraits on another day
A separate session gives you more freedom to choose the light, weather, location, and pace without keeping family members waiting.
Manti Temple Wedding Photography Guide
A local photographer’s guide
Manti is familiar, but every wedding is different.
I live and work less than a mile from the Manti Utah Temple. I see the grounds in every season, notice where the shade holds at midday, and know which locations still work when several families arrive at once.
That familiarity helps, but it is not a formula. The people, the weather, the light, and the rest of the wedding day should decide how the photographs come together.

Right after the sealing
The first few minutes outside move quickly.
Parents are looking for their children, friends are gathering, and everyone wants to congratulate the couple. I let those greetings unfold before moving into the organized photographs. The unplanned reactions are often some of the pictures people care about most.
Leaving a little room for that part of the day makes the photographs feel more like a wedding and less like a checklist.
Planning for the light
The temple looks different every hour.
Morning shade is soft and forgiving. Midday sun needs careful positioning. Evening light can be beautiful, but it moves quickly behind the hills. Snow, cloud cover, and spring blossoms all change the useful locations.
Sealing times are usually fixed, so I plan for the light we will actually have rather than promising a particular look that depends on perfect weather.
Keeping groups organized
Family photographs go better with a list.
Large groups do not need to take over the afternoon. Before the wedding, I ask for a clear list of the combinations that matter. On the day, I keep the order practical and make sure grandparents and young children are not waiting longer than necessary.
- Send the family group list before the wedding day
- Choose one person who knows both sides of the family
- Plan a little breathing room after the temple exit
Planning a wedding
Start with the date and the parts of the day that matter most.
If the schedule is still loose, send what you know. I can help you estimate how much coverage makes sense.
