Photography Spots at Antelope Island- Utah Wedding Photographer

The fun part about being a wedding and engagements photographer in Utah, is that there is SO much location variety right in our fingertips. Antelope Island is one of those spots that has a ton a variety. If you’re a mountain and a beach person, this is the spot you want to be at. Photography at Antelope Island is just a fun experience in general; you get to explore and feel like you’re in a completely different world.

One of my favorite perks of this location is that whether you’re available to shoot in the morning or the evening, you’ll get a beach front on either side facing the sun. These pictures were shot in the morning! Some people get hesitant about morning light vs golden hour, but you can get that yummy light in the morning just as much as you can in the evening. (It just usually requires you to wake up at unreasonable times in the morning.)

Antelope Island is huge. You can see some more of the island at this link. And since this is a state park, be prepared to bring your state park pass. And just a little PSA, even if you have a park pass, there is a two dollar toll fee. But seriously, worth it. Below are 4 areas I love to shoot at as a photographer who frequents Antelope Island

Beach Area

Depending on water levels, the beach may take 10-15 minutes to walk to. So if you want to incorporate water into your shoot, we will plan to meet earlier to compensate. While there is beach areas all around, I typically start at Lady Finger Campground.

Red Rock Area

Ladyfinger Point is where I meet most of my couples at Antelope Island. It’s a popular spot for a reason; you get red rocks mixed with greens, the water and mountains in the background, and beautiful sunsets.

Field Pulloffs

There are plenty of field pulloffs to take pictures at on Antelope Island. These fields are about a few minutes south of Ladyfinger Point on your way to Buffalo Point Trail. Just be wary of buffalo!

Dooly Knob Spur

The trailhead and the surrounding areas right before you reach Dooly Knob Spur are gorgeous for your bridal or engagement shoot! This spot is on the eastern side of the mountain so it’s good to go when the sun is still too high at Ladyfinger Point.

Choosing your photography to be at Antelope Island is a smart choice and one of the top locations I recommend. There is so much diversity for every couple, so your experience could be totally different than the last person depending on where you want to go! Between the reeds, the mountains, the rolling hills, the beach, and random buffalo roaming around, your pictures will be uniquely yours. It’s your adventure.
