Planning a dream wedding requires months of planning and the donning of many hats throughout the process leading up to that big day. From feeling like a baker picking out your wedding cake and taste-testing dishes to becoming an interior decorator imagining your decor and bringing it to life, the photographer’s hat can be a challenging one to wear if you’re not a pro. The last thing a bride wants is to plan her immaculate wedding, only to get her photos back and feel disappointed in the lack of beauty or creativity. My first piece advice for those searching for their photographers - find an experienced photographer and don’t be afraid of their price tag! These are photographs you will want to cherish for the rest of your life.
The second piece of advice I can give you from a photographer’s standpoint, find that venue that is not only stunning, but offers the opportunity for those timeless and unique photos you will want showcased in your home! With that in mind, let’s go on a little tour as I showcase the potential the Alta House Event Center has to make your wedding photos standout.
The Alta House is a photographer’s dream - built and created with weddings and photographers in mind, offering amazing features that you won’t find elsewhere! Upon entering the Bridal Salon, where a bride and her crew may opt to get ready, you will see backdrops, elegant decor, and a classic color scheme.
Christina and her photographer from KMP Photography created this beautiful shot showcasing her dress and bouquet in the Bridal Salon. You can find the floral wallpaper throughout the private accommodations.
Jennifer Weinman Photography captured our bride, Caprice, admiring her lovely dress and reflection for her big day. With plenty of lighting and the full-length mirror, it makes it easy for photographers to secure first-rate images from getting ready to dancing it up at the end of the night.
Erin Richard Photography captured Hannah as she waited for her family and friends to gather before the ceremony started.
While the bride and her ladies are doing what ladies do, the groom and his groomsmen can chill at Carl’s Cabin, a private cabin adjacent to the Alta House. The interior design gives the cabin a rustic and relaxed feel for anyone visiting.
Everywhere you turn throughout the venue, there is a beautiful moment waiting to be captured by your hired photographer for the day. As you glance through the photos captured from weddings of our days past, I hope you find the inspiration to transform the space into the wedding of your dreams! Caprice and Cody completely flipped the space to create an unique look with the greenery wall and family-style seating.
David and Kirsten with Mara Mapes Photography documenting their day opted to have their reception in our iconic Barbershop Lounge creating this precious memory of family and friends watching the bride dance with her father.
Alta House offers everything a photographer could ever need to create those stunning photos we all seek! From turning a classic beat up truck into an impressive fountain at the front to the stage in the back and a secret pond, you will want to spend hours documenting every moment and corner while you tour the space.
Whether you are looking for a venue for your wedding, to host a baby shower, or looking to get extraordinary family photos, the Alta House Event Center will not let you down! I encourage all of you, future brides and photographers, to book a tour with the Alta House Ladies and see for yourself!
