Why Choose Jennie Grange for Your Ogden Temple Wedding?
1. Experience with Temple Protocols
I’m fully versed in the Church’s photography guidelines—where you can and can’t shoot, and what decorum is expected. This ensures a stress-free experience so you can focus on your day without worrying about details.
2. Effortless Posing & Natural Connection
Many couples tell me how relaxed and natural they feel during our sessions. I guide you with simple, genuine directions—no stiff poses, only moments that reflect your unique bond.
3. Timing & Lighting Expertise
Golden hour, midday light, shade—Ogden Temple grounds offer all these options. I advise on optimal timing and logistics to make your portraits glow, no matter the season or time.
4. Tailored Coverage for Your Wedding Style
From first looks to bridals, portraits, and grand couple moments with the Temple—my packages are flexible. Need multi-location coverage or just Temple time? I’ll build it to match your vision.

Your day will be joyful—but planning photos can feel vulnerable. I help you breathe easy, laugh together, and enjoy the magic, because natural smiles, tears, and glances are far more meaningful than manufactured perfection.

Tips for a Smooth Ogden Temple Wedding Photo Experience
1. ♥ Use the Official Temple “Allowed Times”
Check the Temple grounds schedule and request your photography window in advance via the Temple office—typically 30–60 minutes is allotted pre- and post-sealing.
2. Still & Bold Bridal Dress Shots
Choose a gown that flows in breeze, has beautiful details you want highlighted, and has a practical hem for stairs and garden shots.
3. Bring Layers & Touch-Up Tools
Bring a sweater or shawl (especially for early morning or cool months), and pack essentials like lip tint, hairspray, and tissues for quick touch-ups.
4. Choose Golden Hour If You Can
Plan your sealing appointment around 5 pm–7 pm (depending on season) for that stunning warm light. It softens every detail and boosts natural color.
5. Trust Me—and Have Fun
I’ll direct, guide, and pose—so you focus on each other, breathe, and enjoy your moment. You’ll laugh, you’ll get emotional—and the best photos are born there.
