In the Busath Gardens, we've created charming vignettes for small families and grand settings for large groups. Each is oriented for the most for flattering "sweet light".
Stone steps, climbing ivy and flowering arches provide the backdrops here at our circa 1880 (Salt Lake studio)and 1875 (Provo studio) homes.
And when it's cold outside, the fireplaces, a stained glass entry and fully equipped studios indoors provide a safe, warm comfortable environment.
Busath Studio & Gardens now spans 3 generations of Busaths. You'll see Richard's great smile behind the camera and Bromley running the technical end of our business. The rest of our studio "family" consists of 12 people to whom I owe a great thanks, some with me for over 20 years. Recently I was sidelined for a year or so, and these great folks didn't seem to miss a beat. I'm delighted to be back behind the camera now with family and friends.
Our philosophy is simple. We believe portraits that last.

We recently passed 70,000 unique client sessions. (If we photographed you or your family since 1973, it's like that we still have your negatives on file.) Among our clients have been Governors, Mayors, Religious leaders, even the U.S. President. Our portraits line the halls of Abravanel Symphony Hall, University of Utah campus, hospitals, and courts around the state.
The Morris Evans mansion at 701 E. South Temple was originally built in 1888. After 30 years of residence, the Evans family did an extensive remodel in 1911, resulting in the Tudor style house of today. In it's day the house was a modern marvel with a central vacuum system and central flushing toilets. A modern "carriage house" was built for the automobile-loving family, which now serves as a large studio.
Busath Photography acquired the building in 1980.
The Tudor home with it's ivy covered walls and gardens provide settings for portraits with great character today.
