Wasatch Mountain Lodge | LGBTQ Wedding | Utah Wedding Photographer | Silver Lake | Log Cabin Wedding

Updated: Sep 27, 2023

To say that Rob and Parker had a beautiful wedding would be a gross understatement. Words like "stunning" "jaw-dropping" and even "breathtaking" might be a better description. If you're dreaming of a nature-filled cabin wedding venue that celebrates all of the beauty Northern Utah has to offer, then the Wasatch Mountain Lodge is definitely worth checking out.


Located on the hillside above Brighton Inn, just a few hundred yards from the Milly Express lift, this large, 100-year-old log structure is hidden in a dense forest which made a perfect backdrop for Rob and Parker's wedding. Here's a little sneak peek at some of my favorite shots from the ceremony and portraits taken on the grounds.

The combination of breathtaking views and calm serenity makes the Smoky Mountains a popular wedding destination. On top of that, the use of cabins as wedding venues have been on the rise for the last several years. It allows for couples to have a smaller ceremony with just their close friends and family in attendance.

While Rob and Parker held their ceremony outdoors, the inside of the cabin itself was reserved for the getting-ready portion of their wedding and their reception. The upper half of the lodge contains two very large getting-ready areas with windows that let in vast amounts of light and boasted amazing views of Big Cottonwood Canyon.

And then came my most favorite part of any wedding, the dance portion! The great room of this cabin was large enough to hold a full DJ set-up as well as ample seating and a space large enough to have up to 20 guests at a time dancing their little hearts out.

No wedding would be complete without a proper send-off. Some of Rob and Parker's closest family and friends stuck around long enough to send the couple on their way as they began their new journey in life.
