Located on Main Street in American Fork, Brightwood Studios is a new creative space, made for photographers, artists, brand creatives and storytellers. Six distinct indoor studios—ranging from 100 to 300 square feet—with large windows, skylights, bold colors and textures, and fabulously styled with gorgeous furniture and decor.

Whether you're here for family portraits, branding content, or quiet creation, Brightwood offers a welcoming, elevated setting with natural light and intentional design.

Brightwood was born out of our desire to bring something totally unique to Utah Valley: radical and amazing, stylized and curated studio spaces. Vibrant and diverse, our studios include The Nook, Conservatory, Solarium, Gable, The Attic, and designs for a large outdoor garden and atrium studio. Each room has a different interior design and decor suitable for all types of photoshoots—family portraits, bridal, maternity, kids and infants, editorial, product, fashion, and commercial. If you can dream it up, you can shoot it at Brightwood!

We’re also working on fun and beautiful seasonal art installations. We’re excited to launch these unique designs throughout the year, and especially in the upcoming holiday season.

One of the highlights of our studio is the tall windows downstairs and the large skylights upstairs we have added throughout, to drench each studio in sunlight. We’re still in the design and building process, and we have BIG plans.

    “This studio is definitely one of a kind. I use many studios in Utah and I haven't seen anything close to this one! Each room has a different look that was clearly so intentionally put together. I especially love The Nook room. While it's small, the lighting and cream colors/textures are beautiful!”
