The 9 Best Engagement Photographers in Salt Lake City

There are so many gorgeous places in Utah to have your engagement portraits taken. And if the following Instagram feeds are any indication, quite a few talented Salt Lake City engagement photographers are in the know about some of the state’s most photogenic spots. Let them capture pictures of you and your love, highlighting the connection you share for each other. You’ll treasure the end results for years to come. 

1. Kylielin Photography

Kylie is one of our favorite Salt Lake City engagement photographers, but we would be remiss if we didn’t mention her other photography as well. Her wedding portfolio fully showcases her talent — shot in so many kinds of lighting that it marks her as an expert. Her lifestyle shoots have the same emotional and cool vibe as the rest of her portfolio. She doesn’t shy away from color and thrives during outdoor sessions. After all, the landscapes around SLC are something special!

When you work with Kylie, you will probably end up with a new friend as well as a whole bunch of treasured mementos. According to Kylie, “I love to make people confident for who they are and I love the social aspect of photography! I have met so many different people and have created strong friendships through photography; I can’t wait to create even more friendships and meet more people!” That’s our kind of photographer!

2. Sayde Delayne Photography

Sayde Delayne is a brilliant photographer with a case of wanderlust, giving a cultural flair to her couples shoots. Few things are more beautiful than you and your love having an epic adventure and having those memories captured along the way by Sayde. She is the kind of photographer who loves adventuring with clients. This is no surprise, as her list of things that make her incredibly happy include “hiking… traveling to new places. Oh, and of course capturing raw, emotional, genuine moments on my camera.”

Her editing is modern — with a neutral coloring that adds a vintage feel and a sense of timelessness. She is based just outside of Salt Lake City, in Layton, but her love of travel means that she’s willing to venture anywhere in — or even outside of — the state, so check out her work even if you’re not SLC-based!

3. Love Melissa Photography

A lifelong love affair with photography has led Melissa down her path of becoming one of the best Salt Lake City engagement photographers. She has multiple specialties, including wedding and family photography, so if you adore her style like we do, hire her to be by your side to photograph all of your milestones as a couple and family. She wants every couple to be themselves, as she enjoys — in her own words — “captur[ing] those real moments. Showing who you both really are together.”

Minimal and therefore timeless best describe her editing technique — to her, photographs are meant to be real and natural. According to Melissa, “When looking back at old pictures, it’s not about the style the photo was edited in, it’s about that moment in time and being able to clearly see that. Having beautiful timeless pictures no matter what day or age.” If you want keepsakes that will look good for generations to come, review Melissa’s work — she may be just what you are looking for.

4. Kenzie B Photo and Film

Kenzie strikes a masterful balance between images that are classically beautiful and up-to-date without being overly trendy, the kind of images that will age like the finest wine throughout the life of your marriage. Her eye is always on the creative aspect of photography, as she says, “ I am always looking for the golden light, unique backgrounds, and different poses. Throughout engagements, bridals and the wedding day I strive to make sure everything is captured in a perfectly unique way.”

That’s what makes her special — the mix of breathtaking images with a hefty dose of creative play! Also, if you enjoy your engagement shoot, book her for your wedding, as she donates 5% of booked weddings to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

5. Jacquie Erickson Photography

According to Jacquie Erickson, “I’m the photographer for the bright-eyed girl next door, the spunky, refined, and full of faith. My couples are kind, fun, and totally in love!” And we couldn’t agree more. Her bright and airy photographs are full of couples who are very obviously in love and enjoying themselves in front of her camera. She works throughout Utah and does weddings as her main gig, so she is more than a Salt Lake City engagement photographer — she’s a Utah-based artist! 

6. Angela Howard Photography

Angela’s experience as a commercial and branding photographer adds something to her couples portraits — a refinement in her style, a polish — that we love. Her work is both creative and fun — with gorgeous composition and mastery of lighting. Every couple she works with looks like they are stepping into or out of the pages of a magazine, so if you want to look your glamorous best, work with Angela.
