The Provo City Center Temple and Mount Timpanogos Temple offer stunning architectural details and peaceful surroundings. These locations provide a beautiful spiritual connection to the occasion. Many people choose a temple that is meaningful to their family as a background.

Tips for a beautiful baptism session
• Dress in white – A classic white dress or suit symbolizes purity and keeps the focus on the special moment. Check out the dress from the photos here! For little boys, I love a suit + tie. Just what you’d wear to church.
• Schedule during golden hour – The soft lighting before sunset enhances natural beauty.
• Bring meaningful props – Scriptures or a CTR ring are popular props and can bring a personal touch.
