If you're dreaming of soft, romantic bridal photos with a timeless feel, look no further. Memory Grove Park is one of the best locations you can choose. Tucked right in the heart of Salt Lake City, it somehow manages to feel like a hidden garden.
But before you show up in your dress ready to go, there are a few things you'll want to know to make sure your bridal session goes smoothly (and making sure you get the absolute best photos possible).
Plan for Walking (and Bring Backup Shoes)
Memory grove is STUNNING- but it's not the "park right next to your exact photo spot" kind of location. There is a bit of walking involved, especially if you are wanting variety in your gallery).
My pro tip? Bring comfy shoes, like sandals or sneakers (or even a classic pair of crocs). This way you have something to wear while you walk between shots, then change into your heels for photos. Your feet will thank you.
It Can Get Busy- But Don't Stress.
Memory Grove Park is one of the best locations in Salt Lake City for good reason. You'll likely run into other photographers, couples, or just people enjoying the park (land their dogs).
Honestly though- don't let that be a dealbreaker.
An experienced photographer knows how to find quieter pockets of the park, shoot around people, and use angles to make it feel like you had the whole place to yourself.
Give Yourself Time to Slow Down.
One of the biggest mistakes I see? Rushing through bridals.
Your bridal session isn't just about the photos, it' s actually feeling like a bride without the timeline pressure of your wedding day.
At Memory Grove Park, there are SO many little paths and textures to give lots of photo opportunities and moments to explore.
The best photos happen when you relax into it, the more you do, the more your photos will feel like you. Walk slower, move naturally, let your dress and veil flow- that's where the magic happens!
