If you're wondering where to take pictures at LDS temple in Dallas, Texas you can stop the search here and now!


Hi, I'm Sarah Mae, a Dallas LDS Temple Wedding Photographer and I've photographed many weddings at the Dallas Temple over the last 6 years! Through my experience I've found there are a multitude of spots that are the best setting for photos - these gems are my favorite spots for timeless, natural wedding photos.


The Temple Doors (The Classic Exit Shot)

Smiling newlyweds walk hand in hand through applauding guests as they step outside the Dallas LDS Temple on their wedding day.

This is the moment.

Right outside the temple doors is where you’ll:

  • Exit as newlyweds

  • Be greeted by family and friends

  • Have that iconic celebration moment 🎉

Pro tip: Have your guests ready and close for a full, joyful exit.



The Front Steps


The front elongated steps give you:

  • Gorgeous full-on view of the Temple

  • Movement (walking photos feel natural and candid)

  • Variety in your gallery



Shaded Areas (Your Best Friend in Texas ☀️)


Texas sun can be bright—so shaded spots are key.

These areas help:

  • Avoid harsh shadows

  • Keep you comfortable

  • Create soft, flattering light


The Secret Garden 🌿

Bride in a white dress kisses the groom in a sunlit garden with trees, hedges, and stone walls before they get married in the Dallas LDS Temple.

The garden is perfect for:

  • Romantic couple portraits

  • Quiet, intimate moments

  • Soft, natural backgrounds

This is where we slow things down and create those emotional images.


The Side Stairs


These steps give you:

  • Larger area for family + Wedding Party Photos

  • Incredible Leading Lines

  • Movement from the fountains


Evening + Golden Hour ✨


If your timeline allows, this is the best light of the day.

You’ll get:

  • Warm, glowing tones

  • Romantic, cinematic photos

  • A completely different feel from earlier images


Tips for Choosing the Best Photo Locations

Smiling bride and groom embrace outside the Dallas LDS temple on their wedding day.

  • Trust your photographer to guide you

  • Don’t try to hit every spot—quality over quantity

  • Focus on moments, not just locations
