The majestic red rocks of southern Utah provided the stunning backdrop for this stylized shoot, which was inspired by local produce and fresh farmer’s market items. Set in a community garden, this shoot is packed with all the details needed for a beautiful evening: cozy table settings, lush bouquets of flowers, mouthwatering food, and smiling faces.

The groom kept his look casual but polished with a blue button-down shirt and a red plaid bow tie.
“Every element of this wedding is intended to inspire brides to use the elements that surround them: from choosing a venue to decorate to a menu for the wedding day,” said Jimmy Bishop of Gideon Photography.
“The inspiration for the shoot was a farmer’s market, a farm-fresh environment,” Bishop said. “People don’t often associate the southern Utah desert with amazing fresh crops of fruits and vegetables, but for the past 150 years, that has been the case in the region.”
Buckets of fresh fruits and vegetables also served as decorations. We love this idea for a summer or fall wedding!
“I love the idea of contrasting the desert with the beautiful green of the garden and a table that screams fresh,” Bishop said.
Lanterns by candlelight hung over the table. Simple but sweet!

The wooden pallets were used as tablecloths in each of the rooms to create a relaxed and cozy atmosphere on the farm.
“The paper products were hand-painted to match the fresh, organic theme of the shoot,” Bishop said.
Locally grown ingredients were used in all dishes, including this vegetable pie!
“I love the idea of supporting local growers and farmers and incorporating their assets into the wedding,” Bishop said.
Dessert included coffee drinks adorned with freshly picked flowers.
Radishes, fresh greens and golden sprinkles topped the classic buttercream cake.
