"(eden) over exceeded my expectations ... She made us feel comfortable and was open to any ideas and suggestions we had. She was so sweet and I couldn't help but to hug her as soon as I saw her! Now for the pictures, I cried and cry still when I look at them. She captured every feeling and emotion I was feeling at that moment. They are so special to me and can never thank her enough!"

-Taylor

"Eden is so incredibly talented - we were absolutely blown away by every single photo she took for us! We had such a wonderful experience working with her, she made us feel so comfortable through every shoot. We cannot recommend Eden enough, she's an absolute artist!"

-Katie

"Eden is INCREDIBLE. Honestly if you don't consider hiring her as your wedding photographer... Don't even bother getting a photographer at all. Our engagements and bridals turned out seriously so perfect. She made the sessions so fun! She sent us back our wedding day pictures and I wanted to cry looking at them..... they are A DREAM.  Everything about her photos are pure magic"

ABOUT THE GIRL BEHIND THE CAMERA

Hello and welcome! I'm Eden, a destination wedding photographer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. I specialize in intimately telling the story of your love through editorial wedding photography.

I believe your photos should stand the test of time, yet capture you in this moment. I believe in images that reflect you, ones that you adore, and lots of them.

I've had a camera glued to my hand since I was an elementary attender, and truly love photographing more every day. If you asked 15 year old Eden what she wanted to be when she grew up, she'd tell you a photographer. I feel luckier each day that I am honored with my dream job. I live for bold colors, bright light, and capturing your incredible moments of life and love.

Eden Strader Photography is where romance meets modern editorial. My couples value artistic representation of their love, and unique sessions + details that speak to their relationship. Working together, we’ll document your love in a way never seen before. Let's discuss beautifully capturing your day HERE.

Bianca looking like a complete stunner on her rainy day last year. - The past year I've had the most incredible experiences photographing SUCH unique couples with their own individualistic styles. Meeting so many different people throughout my weddings is absolutely my favorite part of this job. - I've said it once and I'll say it forever- if you want something unique, you're my ideal client. I don't care where you shop, where you live, what your income is (ickyyyyy). You're not a demographic to me. I care that you want images as unique as your relationship. I care that you trust me to work with you in creating art. I care that you're in love and looking for light filled, colorful, and unique images for such an exciting time. Sound like you? Then I know we'll be the best fit.
That moment when you finish your vows, alone on the Salt Flats, with your love 💫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The one thing I advise all my couples - but all couples in general - is to make your day about you. There will be so many opinions surrounding your wedding, but the only ones that matter are yours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You may regret planning a wedding that revolves around what everyone wants, but you'll never regret a wedding that revolves around your love + relationship. Pinky promise.
Spending today working on my content calendar- and, if we're being honest, dreaming of Joshua Tree + sun as always. But planning my monthly calendar means I have some questions for you! Head on over to my stories, I want to hear from ya 💫
Past or present planning couples.. Tell me! What's been your favorite part of planning your wedding? What's been the most difficult?
