Ashlynn and Brandon’s engagement session in Provo Canyon along the Alpine Loop was everything I love about engagement photos — fun, playful, emotional, and completely true to the couple. From the moment we started, it was nonstop laughter, music playing, and running through open fields with the most unreal mountain views surrounding us.
June in Provo Canyon is pure magic. The mountains were lush and green, with snow capped peaks still visible in the distance, creating the perfect contrast and giving their photos that iconic Utah mountain feel.
A Fun, Playful Engagement Session in the Utah Mountains
Ashlynn and Brandon are one of those couples who make everything feel easy. They’re hilarious, fully themselves, and totally comfortable together, which made their session feel more like an adventure than a photoshoot. We explored the fields, soaked in the views, and let the session unfold naturally.
Some of the best moments came from simply letting them move, laugh, and interact the way they normally do. Those in between moments, the smiles, the laughter, the way they look at each other all are what make engagement photos feel real.
Why Provo Canyon & Alpine Loop Are Perfect for Engagement Photos
The Alpine Loop in Provo Canyon is one of my favorite locations for engagement sessions in Utah. It offers:
• Wide open fields
• Mountain backdrops
• Seasonal greenery and wildflowers
• Snow-capped peaks in early summer
It’s perfect for couples who want their photos to feel adventurous, natural, and timeless without feeling overly posed.
How I Guide Couples During Engagement Sessions
One of the things couples often worry about is, “We’re awkward in front of the camera.” The good news? You don’t need to know how to pose.
During every engagement session, I guide you the entire time using movement based prompts instead of stiff poses. We will be laughing, playing music, and interacting so your photos reflect you, not a forced version of you.
My goal is always to capture:
• Genuine laughter
• Emotional, candid moments
• Natural connection
• Images that feel effortless and fun
Engagement sessions are honestly my favorite because they allow couples to relax, be themselves, and enjoy the experience together.
Preparing for Your Engagement Session
Before every engagement session, I send my couples a detailed engagement session guide to help you feel fully prepared. It includes:
• Outfit planning tips
• Color palettes that photograph beautifully in Utah landscapes
• Location guidance
• What to expect during your session
This ensures your session feels smooth, stress free, and enjoyable from start to finish so when we meet, all you have to do is show up and have fun.
A Session Full of Laughter & Connection
Ashlynn and Brandon’s engagement session was a perfect example of why I love what I do. It was playful, emotional, and full of life, the kind of session where you forget about the camera and just enjoy the moment. Those are always the sessions that produce the most meaningful images.
