Best hours of the day for wedding on the Beach (Provo)

We have wedding ceremony on one of the beaches of Provo in the middle of February. Can you recomend us the best time of day for it (good photos). Thank you.

Most photographers (armatures and professionals alike) will tell you the "best light" when taking photos occurs in the 2 hours or so just after sunrise or just before sunset as that is when you get the best contrast between light and shadows. Of course that is a general statement and actual times can vary from day to day or will depend on weather and cloud conditions the day of the photo shoot.

The closer you get to mid-day the worse the "light" gets from a photo perspective.

So if sunset in 5:45pm, it'll be better select 4pm that 2pm?

If Sunset is at 5:45....I'd go with 5pm, if you want sunsets in your background. If you do 4pm....you wont have much color in the sky yet (if that's what you are wanting).

Most, including my sister, get married about 45 minutes before sunset.

Gorgeous!

Ask the photographers there, they are extremely experienced with beach wedding pictures and can advise.

They are some of the best photographers I've ever seen, and they can tell you how to plan it for best beach pictures.

If you want "blue skies & water"....find out when the sun sets, and schedule for a couple hours before that. Problem solved.

Congrats! If you're looking for a photographer I highly recommend Brilliant by Tropical Imaging for your photographer. We had our family portraits taken by them Ileana and she was great. Check out their site!
