Buffalo Peak is in my top 5 favorite locations!

So, you’re thinking about having your wedding photos taken at Buffalo Peak in Utah?

Let me tell you, that’s an amazing choice! Buffalo Peak is one of those hidden gems that has this incredible balance of breathtaking scenery and peaceful vibes. Trust me, you’re going to love it.

First off, let’s talk about the views. Buffalo Peak offers this stunning panoramic backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains. The light up there is magical—especially during golden hour. That soft, warm glow spilling over the mountains and the grassy meadows? It’s the stuff wedding photo dreams are made of. Whether you’re into those sweeping wide shots or intimate close-ups, the natural beauty here does a lot of the heavy lifting.

One of my favorite things about Buffalo Peak is how versatile it is. You’ve got wildflowers in the summer and gorgeous fall colors.

Now, I’ve got to give you a little heads-up about the logistics. Buffalo Peak isn’t a super crowded spot unless its fall. It’s also not the easiest place to just stumble upon. You’ll want to make sure your photographer—hi, that could be me! 😉—knows the area and how to get there, it’s kind of hidden. It’s definitely worth it, though. Trust me, lugging a few cameras and lenses up there is a small price to pay for photos this epic.

Speaking of gear, I always bring backup cameras and lenses to shoots like this—and yes, I double up on memory cards because we’re not taking any chances with your memories. After all, these are once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Another thing to consider is the weather. Mountain areas like Buffalo Peak can have unpredictable conditions, so I always recommend bringing a cute shawl or jacket just in case it gets chilly. And if it’s windy? That’s actually a win! Flowing veils and dresses look incredible in the breeze. Plus, it’s all part of the adventure, right?

Let’s talk about timing. Buffalo Peak is at its absolute best during the couple of hours leading up to sunset. That’s when the light is soft and flattering, and the colors just pop. I always recommend planning your ceremony or portrait session with that in mind. It’s also a great excuse to sneak away from the reception for some “golden hour” magic—trust me, it’s worth it.

Lastly, can we talk about how special it feels to say your vows or take your portraits in a place like this? There’s something so grounding about being surrounded by nature’s beauty. It’s a moment to pause, breathe, and soak in the fact that you’re marrying your favorite person in the world. And as your photographer, I’ll be there to capture all the love and joy in a way that feels authentic to you.

So, if you’re looking for a place that’s equal parts epic and intimate, Buffalo Peak might just be the perfect spot. Let’s make it happen—your dream wedding photos are waiting!
