There’s nothing quite like fall in Provo Canyon, Utah—the crisp air, golden leaves, and warm light make it one of the most beautiful places in the state for a couples session. Erin and Greg wanted photos that felt cozy, candid, and captured the love they have for their two dogs, so we spent the evening exploring the canyon as the sun dipped behind the mountains.

A Golden Hour Adventure in the Mountains

We started their session just before golden hour, when the sun was still peeking through the canyon walls and lighting up the fall leaves in shades of orange, gold, and deep red. Utah’s fall season never disappoints! Erin and Greg’s dogs happily trotted along, adding a playful, authentic touch to every photo. There’s something so special about including your pets in your session—it captures your life exactly as it is right now.

As we wandered along a scenic overlook tucked away in Provo Canyon, the view opened up to layers of colorful trees and mountain ridges glowing in the evening light. Erin and Greg laughed, danced, and cuddled with their pups as the sun began to set, giving us that dreamy soft light that every photographer loves.

Why Provo Canyon Is Perfect for Couples Photos

If you’re planning a fall couples session and looking for a location that combines adventure, variety, and stunning views, Provo Canyon is one of Utah’s best spots for couples and engagement sessions. You can find overlooks, waterfalls, open meadows, and trails—all within a short drive. In the fall, the colors pop against the evergreens, creating the perfect natural backdrop for photos that feel both timeless and alive.

By the time the sun hit the horizon, the light turned a golden pink and wrapped around them perfectly. Those last few moments of daylight gave us some of the most artsy looking shots of the session—silhouettes against the colorful sky, and close-up portraits surrounded by glowing leaves and falling rain in the background. Shooting through golden hour into sunset added that cinematic warmth that makes fall sessions so nostalgic.

Erin and Greg’s session is the perfect reminder that your pets are family—and they absolutely deserve a spot in your photos! If you’re planning to bring your pets, pack some treats, water, and a leash that matches your outfit tones. We’ll take plenty of breaks and capture both candid and posed moments that show your real connection.
