Every wedding is incomplete without a set of pre wedding photos. What photo are you going to put on your save-the-date card and announcements? What are you going to show your family and friends at the wedding’s dinner reception? Couples today have taken their photographers all over the world; from Prague to Bali, Venice to Las Vegas. From so many places to choose from, couples often lose sight of what their pre wedding shoot is all about. Here is a guide on selecting the overseas Pre Wedding Destination which best describes you:
For those that appreciate the simple joys in life
Do you and your fiancée enjoy melting into a beach chair, going for a majestic dive or simply the feeling of hot sun on your skin?
Pre wedding shoots in tropical paradise beautifully capture the laid-back and fun-loving side of newlyweds to be. These are the type of photos that are timeless. You can look back on your pre wedding album in 10,30, 50 years later and still be in love with even if the retouch trends have already changed by that time.
Bali, Guam and the Maldives are all home to the most majestic dive sites and secluded beaches in the world – perfect for a simple yet adventurous short get-away from work, while one day can conveniently be set aside for a pre wedding photo shoot and exploring the island at the same time.
Take a boat ride on the mysterious Lake Tamblingan or a camel adventure on a secluded beach in Bali. For those early-birds, nothing can be more romantic than watching the sunrise at a cliff overlooking lush green mountains. Couples can try their luck to be at the Nusa Dua Blow Hole at the right time to capture the awe-inspiring fury of mother-nature in their pre wedding photographs. If you prefer crystal clear oceans, nothing beats the Maldives. Stay in the comfort of an elegant water bungalow and capture your fun-filled moments of splashing away at shallow lagoons.
Looking for something out of the ordinary? The Inarajan Pools Beach in Guam should not be missed for its unique photo appeal. While neither like a beach nor a pool, the rugged beauty of coral outcroppings up to 15 feet above the horizon shield the tranquil pools from wave action and is a breath-taking backdrop.
For those that have always dreamed of being a billboard star
Some prefer pre wedding shoots that are reminiscent of a “modelesque affair”. This would without a doubt involve elaborate hair-dos, extravagant gowns and the striking of high-fashion poses. There are two types of pre wedding destinations that would work well with capturing this vibe– old world elegance and new world glamour. Old world elegance includes cities enriched by many centuries of history such as Paris, London, Venice, Florence and Shanghai while new world glamour embodies skyscrapers and symbols of modern-day luxury that can be found in cities such as New York, Las Vegas and Hong Kong.
For those that are shy and want to shun the stares of onlookers
Gazing into each other’s eyes while onlookers stare and snigger at what clearly is obviously not a professional model shoot can be extremely embarrassing. If this sounds like something you would not be able to handle, you can forget about your dreams of being a billboard star because those pre wedding destinations will more than often being swarming with people throughout the day and night. Korean pre wedding studios and photo shoots at the many secluded locations in Bali, Guam and the Maldives would be a perfect solution.
For those that like fairytales
If you have always pictured your pre wedding shoot as a fairytale romance, consider the medieval city of Prague. Colourful houses in pastel colours, medieval towers and bridges, cobbled streets and the famous Prague Castle all paint the ideal setting for any Brothers Grimm’s tale. Take a stroll down Charles Bridge or twirl before the Astronomical Clock in the Old Town Square as the sun rises to capture that fairytale moment. For another kind of fairytale, visit the world’s most magical fairytale cottages at the Hobbiton movie set at Matamata, New Zealand. The 44 unique hobbit holes, mill, double arched bridge and the famous Party Tree are enchanting enough to bring any fairytale of “living happily ever after” to life.
