Utah Engagement Photo Location Ideas from Kimberly Crook Photography

“Utah has so many gorgeous places for your engagement photos! Mountain locations, like the Albion Basin wildflowers, are best in summer and early fall, because of the higher elevation. Indoor locations, like a studio or the Capitol Building, are great for keeping warm in the wintertime! For an outdoor location that looks great year-round, you’ll want to look for somewhere with lots of evergreen trees, or no trees at all, like the Salt Flats or Antelope Island.”
