If you’re considering a summer wedding at Log Haven, this blog is for you! Tucked away in the scenic beauty of Millcreek Canyon, Log Haven is one of Utah’s most romantic and serene wedding venues—and it’s easy to see why so many couples choose it for their special day. Surrounded by towering pines, cascading waterfalls, and lush greenery, Log Haven offers the perfect mix of rustic charm and refined elegance—especially in the summer when the landscape is at its most vibrant.
As a Utah wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing love stories in some of the state’s most breathtaking locations, but Log Haven holds a high place on my list of favorite venues. With its dreamy forest backdrop, cozy lodge aesthetic, and peaceful mountain setting, every wedding here feels straight out of a fairytale.
Summer weddings at Log Haven are pure magic. The warm golden light filtering through the trees, the sound of birdsong in the canyon, and the gentle breeze through the fields of beautiful wildflowers all come together to create a truly unforgettable atmosphere.
The venue offers multiple ceremony locations—including a picturesque meadow, a private garden, and a stunning patio with canyon views—making it ideal for outdoor ceremonies. The indoor reception space is equally charming, with its exposed wooden beams, stone fireplaces, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let the summer light pour in.
This Log Haven summer wedding was filled with thoughtful, personalized touches. From soft pastel florals to handmade vows and romantic first dances under the stars, every moment was a reflection of the couple’s love and style. I focus on capturing not just the big moments, but the small details too—like the bride’s embroidered veil, personalized heart shaped cake, and meaningful jewelry pieces worn on this day as well.
My editing style is true-to-color and timeless, ensuring the natural beauty of Log Haven and the genuine emotion of the day shine through in every image.
