The Location Perched atop Salt Lake City's Capitol Hill, the Utah State Capitol Building stands as an emblem of neoclassical architecture. This majestic structure, presents a visual spectacle against the backdrop of the Wasatch Mountain Range. Its opulent interiors, lit by vast skylights and chandeliers, showcase marble staircases, murals, and legislative chambers, providing photographers and filmmakers with diverse, cinematic vantage points. The surrounding landscaped grounds, accentuated by sculptures and a reflective pool, further enrich the canvas for creative captures, especially during golden hour when the building bathes in a warm, ethereal glow. During the warmer months, you'll find colorful cherry blossom trees surrounding the location. The inside of the capitol is currently open for photo and film Monday-Friday from 8 am - 5 pm. *If you are bringing external lights, props, and​/​or other large photography equipment (that is not connected to the camera itself), it is considered commercial photography and will need a permit.* Tips From Other Creatives Google Maps will occasionally make it hard for you to find the parking lot, but you can access it on the east side of the building.
