Sneaks from this past weekend in beautiful Montrose, Colorado. The bride and groom picked such an amazing location for their big day that was filled with fun, dancing, and cowboy hats 🤠

Hi! My name is Jordan Varela and I am a Utah wedding photographer based in Salt Lake City. While I enjoy all aspects of a wedding day as a wedding photographer, there are some special moments that are especially fun to capture behind the camera. Below are a few of my favorite moments to photograph at a wedding.

Located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, Liberty Park houses 80 acres of green grass, sports facilities, water features and a stunning Aviary. On the weekends Tracy Aviary is not only a large zoo featuring a wide array of different avian species from around the world, it is also a wedding venue. Built in 1852, and located inside the Tracy Aviary, Chase Mill is the oldest industrial building in Utah featuring a beautiful below-ground circular amphitheater and surrounded by luscious gardens perfect for a summer wedding.

It was a moody overcast day in Ogden, Utah. Rain was in the forecast all day and the wedding ceremony was set to start around noon. As I drove up north to Ogden from Salt Lake, I couldn’t help but worry that we might see some raindrops.
