A great location … The Utah State Hospital?

I’ve taken people up to the Utah State Hospital castle dozens of times to have portraits done, but yesterday when I took Megan there for her bridals, I found new spots that I had never even seen before!  It really is an incredible location with so many options to choose from.

Beautiful Stonework

The USH castle offers beautiful stonework and romantic-looking architecture, complete with turrets.  It also has great views of the valley from the top. It’s a unique and lovely backdrop for any kind of portrait.

Megan was so much fun to work with!  She had so much personality, and I had a blast capturing all of the fun moments.

 

 

Here Megan stands in front of a turret, perfect for the "love story" theme she wanted for her portraits.

 

 

Megan lounges on a curving path.  I loved her unique and dramatic bouquet, designed by Audrey O’Brien of Studio Stems.

 

 

I love this picture!  Once again, it is true to her "love story" theme, and I love how the sun lights up her veil perfectly.

 

Golden Grasses

The castle also offers some beautiful spots with golen, waving grasses.  I love the natural, comfortable feel it lends to portraits.

 

 

I love this hillside spot.  The grass adds a feeling of warmth to the picture, which I love!

 

 

I love the stone and grass together in this picture.  Megan is such a brautiful bride!  I love the dramatic feeling of this picture, and I love how the background softens it just a bit.

 

Water

There are a couple of different waterfront spots to choose from at the castle.  From big pond, to dock, to small brook with a bridge, I love the variety!

 

 

 

I love the way Megan is laughing in this picture.  It’s so easy and natural, and the dock really makes it an even more interesting picture.

 

 

I love this picture of Megan dangling her feet in the water.  Doesn’t she just look like she’s having fun?

 

 

 

This one of Megan looking away is more dramatic, and I love the contrast the dock and water give to the picture.

 

 

The fountain in the middle of the pond here at the castle also makes a fun backdrop.  I love the texture it adds.

 

 

The pond is also a great spot for reflections.  I really like this one of Megan touching the water.

 

 

Go take a look at this location for yourself sometime!  It’s near Seven Peaks Waterpark in Provo, and at only $15 for a sitting fee, it’s an awesome location!
