By Sophia + Colby, Chasing Robins Media · Provo, Utah

Pick the light first, then the place
The best engagement location is the one that matches your vibe and has good light at your session time. Golden hour, the hour or two before sunset, works almost anywhere.

By season
- Fall: Big Cottonwood Canyon and Provo Canyon for color.
- Winter: mountain locations when there is snow, or a warm indoor spot.
- Spring: green hillsides and blooming trees around Utah Valley.
